Lidar survey reveals hundreds of ancient earthworks hidden in the Amazon

A new lidar survey of dense Amazonian rainforest has revealed hundreds of earthworks built by an ancient civilization roughly two thousand years ago. The structures, hidden under the forest canopy for centuries, include ditches, roads, and fortified settlements. Researchers say the discovery points to a much larger and more organized population than previously believed. The earthworks span a wide area and suggest the region was not an untouched wilderness but a managed landscape. The findings show how lidar technology is rewriting the history of the Amazon and its people.
