Amazon Rainforest Hides Ancient Geometric Patterns
A hidden civilisation has been unearthed in the Amazon rainforest by archaeologists. They found hundreds of vast earthworks, known as geoglyphs, which are evidence of an advanced pre-colonial society called the Aquiry.
The structures were built between 600BC and AD850 without using metal tools or animals. Researchers believe this is significant because it suggests that the Aquiry had a high level of technological sophistication despite being in the deep rainforest, where it would be difficult to detect these patterns under the dense tree canopy.
The geoglyphs are geometrically patterned and were likely built for ceremonial or ritual purposes. The discovery of this lost civilisation is significant because it provides new insights into the history and culture of pre-colonial societies in the Amazon region.
