Upper Xingo ping.
Shouldn't that read: "a society doomed by the arrival of white Europeans five centuries ago"?
Amazon.com?
I note that almost all articles about South and Central American Paleo Indians omit that they were largely characterized by cannibalism, human sacrifice, slavery, rape of captured women and children, and using human heads as soccer balls. The PCing of anthropology.
Let me guess. The walls weren’t defensive to help them against violent humans. They were peaceful enclosures to keep their domestic animals and children from accidentally wandering out into the jungle, right?

Thanks decimon....housing a society doomed by the arrival of Europeans five centuries ago... The existence of the ancient settlements in the Upper Xingu region of the Amazon in north-central Brazil means what many experts had considered virgin tropical forests were in fact heavily affected by past human activity, the scientists said.They had to get that shot in about how evil Euros destroyed an indigenous culture that there was no sign anyone outside the Amazon has ever heard of before, prior to getting down to the buried lead, which is that there isn't a pristine piece of land anywhere. :') |

Scientists find ancient lost settlements in Amazon
I bet. Just like that story about the lost tribe in the Amazon that has never had any contact with the outside world.
Isn’t this fairly old neaw? I recall photos with the markings of elaborate irrigation works on a very large scale grid that were published quite some time ago.
