They should also look at south Africa.

There are very visible ‘grids’ of what must have once been a HUGE system of waterways.

Also, the entire north of Africa looks like a gigantic wave swept over it.

Right over the ‘Eye of the Sahara’ which could be man-made and the real original Atlantis. A wave overtaking it would certainly explain a ‘single day and night of misfortune’.

Clearly SOMETHING huge and disastrous happened to Africa.

“Civilization” is anything but. Doesn’t matter which continent. City states had to fortify, because other city states would attack.

Though it faced an unknown end, the culture that thrived here adds to the growing evidence that the Amazon isn’t actually one of the world’s great untouched wilderness areas—and wasn’t even an unbroken forest until relatively modern times.

So, the Amazon rain forest is not really the "lungs" of the planet, after all.

This played an important part of the “Lost City of Z” theory of Percy Fawcett.

For a GREAT read, read “The Lost City of Z” by David Grann.

Also, read about Orellana, the Spanish Explorer who’s men built a boat and floated down the Amazon to the sea, and, then around to the Caribbean in Buddy Levy’s River of Darkness.

I was going to say that they needed LIDAR, but looks like they beat me to it :P

I know that it may sound pretentious, but I had the idea for using LIDAR for archaeological purposes DECADES before the first scan of the jungles (I believe that I was in HS; I had a fascination with the Incas at the time).

The results speak for themselves.
