Lasers can see right through the canopy
Laser technology (known as LiDAR) continues to demonstrate its effectiveness in the Amazon jungle: A group of archeologists in Ecuador (Latin America) has recently employed this technology to find thousands of earthen mounds concealed beneath the forest canopy, according to the scientific journal Science. During a major study of the Amazon jungle conducted by a team of archeologists led by Stephen Rostain from the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), a remarkable discovery was made: an ancient megacity from the time of the Buddha. Using laser scanning technology, numerous structures that reveal hidden and hard-to-detect formations were identified.
