Francisco de Orellana, who went down the Amazon in the early 1540s, already mentioned the many large settlements and cities that populated a region which is today inpenetrable jungle. Most later scholars and historians put his accounts down to nothing but the fanciful dreamings of a gold-hungry conquistador - seems we owe him a bit more respect than we thought.

Yes, there are women who look at menstrual cycle as an impure phase a woman has to go through and that in turn might lead to down feelings. In the west, generally speaking, that's not the case. Western women feel inferior not because of the blood associated with the menstrual cycle; instead, workplace and aggressive lifestyle have crushed their feminism. It's a complicated subject.

Without the human population, nature had reclaimed the cities after the people vanished.

In many cases, those who were left were children who had lost the elder generation that carried most of their culture's knowledge, so the explorers assumed they had always been "primitive," "ignorant," and "uncivilized" -- not realizing that their cultures HAD been civilized, and often quite sophisticated, before European diseases decimated their populations.

The charcoal provided a micro habitat for Mycorrhiza fungi and good bacteria for the soil. This made it very fertile and great for growing food. This has been discovered all over the Amazon Basin so it must have been quite common.

I have been reading a lot about ancient cultures over the last few years and I can tell you that more civilisations are lost than known. There's a video on YT with a map of the history of civilisations that starts from 3000 BC but any more countries only start from the Iron Age. All those white spaces on the map aren't a lack of developed cultures, they're just gaps in historiography. We remember only those civilisations that left behind stone buildings, and not always. Meanwhile, it turns out that people began to organise themselves into socially assembled cultures even at the end of the Ice Age. Already at that time specialists, engineering, astronomy, social classes and proto-culture began to appear (useful plants were specifically sown, but not tended). Wild animals were probably also bred, not yet knowing artificial selection, so animal domestication was almost non-existent. As early as 8000-6000 BC city-states began to emerge and 3000 BC the first empires. The level of a civilisation depended mainly on its wealth and available technology and raw materials. Already in the Neolithic, tribal states were established in North Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. Such Egypt or Mesopotamia have a longer history than is presented in popular scientific studies. However, it is enough to reach for scientific works focusing on older periods to discover that earlier periods were also developed civilisations. There is still so much to discover, but also so many traces of ancient cultures have already disappeared. However, new scientific methods are emerging. For example, we are now able to determine the shape of structures underground on the basis of the height of crops growing in fields and thus discover traces of wooden cities from 7,000 years ago. Central Europe is full of this. It was once thought that these were the cult structures of primitive peoples. Today we know that they were central fortifications around towns and that these towns were burnt down every few decades, probably as a tool against the plague. Later the site was abandoned again for a few decades, only to return and rebuild the city in exactly the same place. This was probably also linked to primitive agriculture. Such a move allowed the land to rest. And this is just one of many extraordinary lost cultures.

They had the same problems, fantasies and desires. There were also geniuses and great explorers and risk-takers among them. Our written history is replete with tales of distant journeys, and we can be sure that there were also distant journeys in given times. Today we dream of travelling to the moon or to Mars, but in the past people dreamed of travelling to the horizon or to the other side of the ocean. And just as we take on these challenges today, so too did people thousands of years ago. We have already confirmed many such journeys: The Egyptians sailed around Africa, the Sumerians sailed to Egypt, the Vikings sailed to Nova Scotia, the Achaeans sailed to India, the Chinese sailed to the Arabian peninsula, the Polynesians sailed to Madagascar and South America. etc. However, many voyages are anecdotal (not recognised by the scientific community, even despite the evidence) such as: Vikings among the Incas, Egyptians, Carthaginians and Phoenicians in South America, Egyptians in the British Isles, Greeks in the Baltic Sea, etc. And here comes a very interesting thesis I once read about. I don't remember it very well, but I think that every distant voyage by an old ship was always about 5500 km. If the voyage was further, this distance was doubled, and sometimes even tripled. This distance was limited by the time after which scurvy becomes troublesome. If the ship did not reach any place where supplies could be replenished within this time, it was turned back. If you set sail from any place and after sailing this distance you find something interesting, you can be sure that in the past someone made such an expedition from that place.

Hancock's theories are a bunch of supernatural mumbo-jumbo. He talks about a site in Bolivia, Tiawanaku in the Andes, that is completely irrelevant to this video, which is about discoveries in the Amazonian lowlands. Tiawanaku has been radiocarbon dated to 1500 BCE, but Hancock thinks it is 17,000 years old for totally wacko reasons-- actually no reasons at all except for his over-active imagination. I seriously doubt that even he believes the BS he purveys. He's a sensationalist grifter. The recent discoveries in the Amazonian alluvial plain are amazing and fascinating in their actual reality, but that's not good enough for the coocoo birds who want to bring ancient magical conspiracies and alien space lizards into the discussion.

One thing the video didn't touch on is that the soil in the amazon is a special type that was man-made and super fertile. The trees planted were also placed by man, at least in the southern amazon. To the extent that today governments and scientists try to work with the natives to help figure out how to reforest the amazon It's not just that there was a large civilization that lived in the amazon it's that there was a large civilization that built the amazon. At least for the southern region, it's not a story of building a civilization in an inhospitable environment.

It wasn't just European ones that contributed to the collapse of American societies. Indeed, newer researches show that the much-vaunted 90%-dead-due-to-White-Man figure is grossly exaggerated.

BLACK MOLD. Basically 3 main foods and things for preserving foods comes from mold. I suspect they would have a lot of jars for brewing. Vinegar needed for preserving alcohol useful for cleaning purifying citric acid now i dont know that they grew black mold for citric acid but alcohol and vinegar are obvious one begets the other. The idea that we started in citys is just wrong obviously or that we naturally formed villages. We had familia tribes. Several familys together. The main reason we wandered and gathered was food. Once we figured out how to preserve food we didnt need to wander. Theres no way to have a town with out preserves and agriculture.

There is a theory that between the time that the Spanish explorer Orellana first saw this civilization and the time that later explorers returned to see nothing, that diseases introduced by the first visitors had wiped out the native cultures, and the incredibly fast growing vegetation of the Amazonian tropics had covered the settlements up. This kind of successional plant growth is amazingly prolific and fast growing in the Amazon. This kind of vegetation cover is extremely dense and very difficult to penetrate on the ground-- much more so than mature primary forest, so there is nothing far-fetched about this theory.

Charles C. Mann wrote an excellent book in 2005, "1491, The Americas Before Columbus" where he gives an oversight of these mounds in Bolivia... And much more in Brazil...

Human history is tens of thousands of years older than we know. So much lost knowledge and history.

It’s ironic that we’re searching the stars for distant civilizations while there’s civilizations on our planet that we have yet to discover.

Well, it's already happened and keep happening with every discovery in every science field but one big discovery shakes only people who are interested in that field. What happened when we detected gravitational waves for the very first time? Or what would happen if we ever detect dark matter? What about inventions? If we ever feasibly and commercially start generating energy with fusion reactors? Or what if we start colonizing planets? People who don't care, would not care. Same goes for the "researches of the past" in history, archeology, geology, zoology etc. fields. Finding a new settlements, civizilation, ruins and remnants like Gobeklitepe; finding new human species like Denisova hominins; these affected the history and dates of the world we knew, but doesn't change the world for people who are not interrested. Nothing happened when we calculated the earth's age as 4.5 billion years old. Before that, many people tried and miscalculated; Lord Kelvin estimated that Earth was between 20-million and 400-million years old; and before that Isaac Newton believed it was only 5700 years old. So I'm not convinced. Nothing from the past can shake the world and change anything for all people. But maybe, alien visitors, lol. And even then, I still believe there will be people who would not care at all.

This 'mound' culture extended from seasonal flood plains of E Andes thru the jungles to the Atlantic. It was first discovered by pilots of oil exploration cos in 'highlands' E of Andes over 40 yrs ago. and IGNORED BY WESTERN UNIVERSITIES AND EXPERTS almost to a person since. I found out only after extensive internet searches for ancient civilizations of Americas that might prove humans reached Americas long before the Bering Sea Land Bridge theory has it. I've heard of just ONE 'Western' academic working on mounds, roads, canals, etc of seasonal flood plains E of Andes. It offends Western Civ to believe there were ANY others and they thank the Spanish for spreading disease across Central and South Americas that killed 90% of the native populations, forcing the rest to retreat to hunter gatherer existence away from the millions of dead. It's been hard enough to trivialize (using their blood sacrifice religion) Mexican culture, what with Mexico City, documented by Spanish as being more populous, bigger and cleaner than anything in Europe by far.

It was used extensively in Australia, it seems it can penetrate a wide variety of materials, but for Antarctica the ice was s kilometers thick in many areas so it's only been special satellite instruments that have been able to survey what's underneath.

Is it true, that SOME of the rainforest, was "manufactured" or cultivated/manipulated by early early cultures in south America, to grow? I know its not all of Brazil or S. america, but I heard a report from a science mag site and a youtube channel a couple of years ago, about something like this? I mean, how did all those ancient big building sites of the ancient south american cultures get re covered so fast by vegetation?
