LIDAR Scan Discovered an Unknown Civilization In The Amazon

For centuries, it was believed that the Amazon Rainforest was a huge expanse of natural wilderness untouched by human hands, home to only a few tiny indigenous tribes since time immemorial.
However, new research has shown that this longstanding belief is wrong, that in fact, the Amazon is not an untouched wilderness, but was once home to a monumental ancient civilization, one which has been completely missing from the history books.
What we’re now learning about this lost civilization is not only totally changing our understanding of human history, but perhaps has the power to change the future of humanity as we know it.

    Hi cousin, love ppl from Belize, so nice and fun, my ppl r from Jalisco and Sonora Mexico. It's true what U say, Mexico Central, South America, full of ancient things. I remember when I would visit my family and my cousins and I would walk to the creek, we would find arrow heads and pieces of pottery. We were to young to realize what we had in our hands, regret not saving them.

What a shame that he was not proven right back in 1925. It would take virtually 100 years for him to be proven correct. I find that extremely sad.

Where it matters we are just as close to each other as the average dog breed is to another. The main differences between us are the rmenants of ancient non Homo sapiens DNA in our genetic makeup. Some have H. neanderthalensis remnants, others have different remnants - but generally speaking it's all tiny amounts compared to the core H. sapiens DNA that we all share.

It is more likely they developed the soil before the pyramids which pushes the civilization dating further back.

    If it wasn't so tragic, the irony would be quite humorous that so-called modern science looks back at such ancient civilizations as technically lacking, scientifically ignorant, or even backward. When in reality these civilizations had intuitively known how to live and coexist within the natural world without feeling that they had to control it. Something it seems unlikely that our reputedly "modern civilization" will ever figure out. And, as soon as you detailed how later explorers found nothing of Orellana's prior descriptions, I wondered whether Orellana's team might have introduced disease into their population, similar to the way the Europeans (supposedly) intentionally did to the Native American population with Smallpox.

    According to Graham Hancock, Terra Petra is a completely artificial soil, with definitive zones where it just stops, & the normal, unfertile soil commences. So, if you could use science to determine exactly where the black earth is located, then you could find the exact extent of this extinct civilisation(s). I am also of the belief it would be found to be far older, than modern scientists/archeologists/historians would be willing to accept. Some of those larger temple structures look quite similar to those found at places like Teotihuacan. Given no one knows who built those temple structures either, there could be an historical correlation. The precursor civilisation (according to modern archeology) of the Aztecs were the Olmecs. And, as nothing is known about them, then, geographically, it's not that far. So these Peoples could be linked. And, that is assuming there was no civilisation, before the Olmecs. Given, how much information is coming to light, from new scientific techniques, to refute the modern, accepted mainstream theory, of Man, in the region, that would be a dangerous position for one to hold.

Probably true as I know there's Damascus steel we're unable to produce nowadays that was made by Greeks or Roman's I believe and also the concrete that Roman's used for roads is still better than our own best mixes of aggregate and is much stronger and seemingly holds together forever so just a few things among many that our ancestors had or used that we don't have or haven't figured out today other than the obvious megalithic structures which many think is all we can't figure out today

In ancient times Egypt was known as the 'bread basket of the Mediterranean' because it produced such an insane abundance of grain from its fertile soils.

    According to the book “1491, the Americas before Columbus”, native Americans mitochondrial DNA indicates an enhanced susceptibility to RNA viruses, such as smallpox. Instead of them having a single digit fatality rate, as they did in Europe, they may well have had a greater than 50% fatality rate and, as you can imagine, with over 50% of one’s population wiped out a lot of villages just straight up wouldn’t retain the skills needed to continue to survive, much less thrive.

    I read a book around 2000 called '1491', about the Americas prior to Columbus. It spoke of Orellana and Terra Preta. It spoke of villages non-stop along the Amazon. 2000 was before LIDAR was used, so there has been a LOT added to what has been found. The book talked of entire cultures all over the Americas, wiped out or decimated by European diseases the Spanish and English and French and Portuguese didn't know they were carrying. The Incas, Aztecs, and other civilizations were wiped out, not by soldiers in battle, but by bacteria and viruses. The book talks about why the natives were so 100% killed. And the book gave an estimate that the Americas had 300 million population before Columbus, and that 97% died of diseases. 100% in MANY places, from S America to Maine. It was a sad book to read, but really interesting.

    The only real flaw I see in Hancock's research is his penchant for adding narrative. He likes to draw a conclusion too quickly and when he does so, often goes of the rails just like mainstream academia does. Stop trying to 'tie it all together!' Let the data breathe. Let it speak for itself. It's an especially ironic problem for him, given that his data-driven research and source-citing scholarship is absolutely impeccable.

This being said, I personnally find that the illustrations of fiction/romantic ruins, submerged statues etc... undermine the credibility of the narrative rather than support it. For example I was slightly annoyed by repeated appearance of well known artist's impressions of Tenochtitlan, capital of the Aztec Empire (22:19 or 30.08). But the, art is difficult and criticism is easy.

    We would never really know but Soil kinda simple to explain . Nothing went to waste even waste was used to mix into the soil . Natives in America showed the pilgrams this when they taught them to grow corn by placing whole fish into the ground when planting. Imagine if this was common practice and over time the soil will only get more and more fertile as you add ever increasing waste into the soil year after year insects do a great roll in balance to something we don't do now . We spray and pray. the fact that there was not just one crop sucking all of one nutrient out the soil like we do in monoculture today . They didn't seem to "farm" no fields just expansion on what was already naturally there. Nothing goes to waste so past food sources become new seeds to expand further on this is why in the Amazon over 60% of flora is edible . It could be magic soil but me personally I believe its just the result of a lack of greed. They were surviving not trying to make the most out of the land
