This is an amazing read that just broke a few hours ago. Using LiDar (a new technology that reveals old structures on a macro level) they found a "Mayan Megalopolis".

“LiDAR is revolutionizing archaeology the way the Hubble Space Telescope revolutionized astronomy,” said Francisco Estrada-Belli, a Tulane University archaeologist and National Geographic Explorer. “We’ll need 100 years to go through all [the data] and really understand what we’re seeing.”

Deep in the Jungle, they found NEW PYRAMIDS...

Population estimates going from 5 Million up to 15 Million Plus.

Gives me chills.
