Wow. Kid had a genuine "Aha!" moment.
I'm a little surprised than an expedition is not already being planned. If the place is THAT remote, it makes you wonder about who might (still) be living there.

However, experts are now voicing skepticism about that idea.
George Dvorsky, a contributing editor at Gizmodo, reached out to two anthropologists and both cautioned against jumping to any conclusions about the site without on-the-ground confirmation.
Thomas Garrison, an expert in satellite imagery (also called remote sensing), told Dvorsky that it's probably an old cornfield: "I'd guess [the field has] been fallow for 10-15 years. This is obvious to anyone that has spent any time at all in the Maya lowlands."
David Stuart, an archaeologist and director of the Mesoamerica Center at the University of Texas at Austin, took to Facebook to share a frank assessment.
"The whole thing is a mess -- a terrible example of junk science hitting the internet in free-fall," he wrote. "The ancient Maya didn't plot their ancient cities according to constellations. Seeing such patterns is a Rorschach process, since sites are everywhere, and so are stars."
Both scientists commend William on his efforts and enthusiasm, but say the media has run away with a specious story.
