“The amazon rain forest is at least 130,000 years old”
Except the parts that contained cities and farmland just a few hundred years ago and have been recently detected by satellites. SURPRISE! Farmland CAN turn back into rainforest.
No surprise - early Spanish explorers reported cities of 100s of thousands - all of which were wiped out by the diseases of the explorers - death toll was estimated to be in the millions. All those ancient cities have returned to rain forest leaving only patches of terra preta to mark were they once existed.
