He’d better not try to use that as a source on Wikipedia. Maps apparently ain’t kosher, nor is “original research.” What a joke.

Yes, or buried beneath the sands, dissolved by the oceans, weathered beyond recognition. That sort of thing.

Remember that oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico? The alarmists screeched that it was the end of the world, that a good hurricane or water spout would dump the oil on Mississippi? Then the ocean dissolved the oil, and all was well.

And there's Marcahuasi. Are those things statues? I don't know. They might be.

No telling what relics and artifacts that once existed but are no longer recognizable.

Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-liv'd Phoenix in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleets,
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets
William Shakespeare

Educated guesses are not knowledge. Many times, accurate knowledge is impeded by presuppositions.

Thank you for posting this Rooster. This just happens to be an addictive hobby I have been into for many years now, ever since google earth came out. Satellite Archaeology, I have been fortunate to make some great personal discoveries over the years in locations all over the world. It's an addictive obsessive treasure hunt! And from what I have found, ancient agriculture earthworks from all over the world in my estimates reflect a population that was at least 4 times the current estimated number and narrative.

Among many others here is one my best finds so far, it is of an undocumented Pueblo in North America hidden in plain sight next to a known Pueblo. I'm sure the local indigenous elders know about it, but I have yet to find any reference or documentation for it.

But when discussing South America the sheer amount of land that was once cultivated is just incredible, much of it very remote and in places that are almost inaccessible. There are faint remains of cultivated land all over South America to the point that it greatly argues against the current population estimates. I am figuring by about four times more from what I have archived over the years. And there are of course obvious traces. But what I have estimated myself in this search is that there had to have been an incredible population to require this sheer amount of acreage, it is in the millions of total acres. Some examples of very faint remains and some of more obvious remains all in places very remote and impractical by today's standards. These would have only come about because of sheer necessity for more production and increased population because of where they are located, they were running out of room and had to expand into areas that were very impractical.

Give a Mayan a computer and there's no telling what he can do.

***freely accessible light detection and ranging maps (LiDAR for short) published in 2011***

Apparently this is ~ artnet.com ~ stumbling into the 21st century. These LIDAR imaging studies have been on TV repeatedly the past six or seven years.

I am anxious to see LIDAR scans of the Andes north and east of Cuzco, Peru. LIDAR technology can penetrate the foliage cover in the mountainous area and intersect dangerous exploration expeditions. Inca roads could emerge and perhaps large pre-Spanish settlements ... settlements perhaps similar to Machu Picchu.

“If you walk on it, you don’t realize it,” Inomata told the Times. “It’s so big it just looks like a part of the natural landscape.”

Another archeologist working further south in some of the jungle infested areas of Central America used lidar to map out some additional previously unknown sites which included pyramids.

Their team actually went to one pyramid spotted by the lidar and found it. The use of technology like this is finding new unknown sites all over the world including Egypt, Mongolia,China, etc.

I think this guy and his documentary were aired on the Travel Channel

Every scientific process starts with an educated guess. Your statement makes no sense. It is obtuse for the sake of sounding intelligent. When, in fact, it makes you sound like a barstool genius.
