Archaeologists have discovered a dense system of pre-Hispanic urban centers in the upper Amazon, characterized by constructed platforms, plazas, and large, straight roads. This discovery underscores the existence of sprawling ancient cities dating back at least 2,000 years ago. The findings have been unveiled through the use of LiDAR technology, revealing a cluster of lost cities in the Amazon rainforest. NASA's Perseverance rover may have found signs of life on Mars through the discovery of ancient lake sediments, potentially including microbial fossils.
