Journey through a drugged video

Let’s start the week’s news, let’s talk about a very interesting video made by the Venezuelan Jason Silvashow guest mind gamesfrom a well-known channel National Geographic. The video is calledDreaming While We Wake: A Journey into Ourselves‘, something like ‘Daydreaming: A Journey Inside Ourselves’, in free translation.

An unknown civilization in the Amazon

great forest Amazon It has always been distinguished by its abundant greenery and the vastness of its fauna. Plants, trees, and animals live inside, giving more life to what are considered the “lungs of the world.” But these are only the items that we currently know about, there is a new mystery surrounding the site.

The technology has been used recently to deal For remote surveying in the place it was discovered that at least 1500 years ago there was a community living there, even before the presence of Portuguese settlers.

LiDAR images show the named city kasarab, which included platforms, huge pyramids, defensive structures, reservoirs, and canals connecting what appeared to be hundreds of settlements of various sizes. This goes against the assumptions that the locals were nomadic or culture-feeding, rather than sedentary and agricultural.

LiDAR scans were not always able to accurately display data which can now be read more easily. Current technology allows reading to bypass leaves and branches in denser areas and to be able to provide a more detailed three-dimensional reading, including providing information on the density of hidden structures. What can these new discoveries offer to our history?
