Unknown civilization unearthed in the Amazon
Mike R
Signs of a previously unknown civilization are being unearthed in the
Amazon. 260 giant avenues, ditches and enclosures can be seen in the
Brazil/Bolivia borderlands. Every week, new structures are being
found
and some of them are in complex geometric forms like hexagons and
octagons connected by avenues and roads. These reports follow other
reports of "garden cities" in northern Brazil dating to 1400 CE. It
appears that these new discoveries are not related to that complex.
The newly discovered area dates from 0-1400 CE.
Ceramics, grinding stones and other signs of human habitation are
being found at some of the sites. Even the defensive looking ones
have
dirt piled in highly symmetrical fashion and many are oriented to the
north.
