Actually, if this is it, it was (re)discovered in 2005 by and not nearly as impressive as the title gives it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Stonehenge

I recommend “the lost city of Z” by Grann. Tells the story of Percy Fawcett, and, his obsession with finding a lost city in the Xingu region of Brazil. Quite entertaining.

“...some scholars now assert that the worlds largest tropical rain forest was far less Edenic than previously imagined, and that the Amazon supported a population of as many as 10 million people before the epidemics and large-scale slaughter put into motion by European colonizers.”
They’re just now figuring out it was largely populated, yet they’ve already figured out what wiped them out...white people.

>>that the Amazon supported a population of as many as 10 million people before the epidemics and large-scale slaughter put into motion by European colonizers.
The idea that any genocidal actions were anything like at the same order of magnitude as epidemics is an absurdity that only someone schooled in anti-Western thought could think to imply with a statement like that.
