Mexico's lost cities: Maya of Mesoamerica
The rainforest (jungle) is full of cities we couldn’t see
 |
| Maya Temple of the Masks, Tikal, Guatemala |
In areas like Tikal, Guatemala, and Caracol, Belize, laser data has uncovered extensive networks of American pyramids, roads, canals, and residential compounds, expanding estimates of Maya population and urban sprawl.

While much of the region still remains unscanned, the new technology is already reshaping what counts as a “site” and how we interpret the scale of the massive Maya civilization of Mexico and neighboring countries.

This Howtown video explains how mapping methods have evolved over time, allowing archeologists to see and analyze ancient cities like Tikal, Guatemala. Even after a century of study, there remains so much to be uncovered by airborne LiDAR. It’s an incredible example of how advances in physics and engineering can supercharge other fields in ways that couldn’t have been anticipated.

Belize, 9 other countries cut ties with Israel
Brian Bushard, Forbes via MSN, 11/15/23; Sheldon S., Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
Belize has become the latest country this week to pull its ambassador from Israel since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza, Palestinian civilians in the name of revenge on political party Hamas that it previously propped up and funded, citing Israel’s refusal to heed calls for a humanitarian pause in its conflict, as its invasion of Gaza enters its sixth week.

Belize latest cutting diplomatic ties with Israel — joining these 8 other countries
Key Facts
In a statement on Tuesday, Belize’s government reiterated calls for an “immediate ceasefire” to allow for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, announcing it will suspend all diplomatic activities in Tel Aviv and withdraw its accreditation for Israel’s ambassador.
Belize
Belize’s government also condemned Israel’s bombings and invasion of Gaza, accusing its "defense" forces of violating international humanitarian laws. (Human rights experts have said attacks by Israel and Hamas on civilians have likely violated international law, while the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory stated last month that “there is already clear evidence that war crimes may have been committed”).
South Africa
Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, a spokesperson for South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa, announced last week the country “decided to withdraw all its diplomats in Tel Aviv,” citing Pres. Ramaphosa’s cabinet’s “disappoint[ment] by the refusal of the Israeli government to respect international law and the United Nations resolutions with impunity.”
Chad
Chad also recalled its ambassador in Israel, issuing a statement condemning the “loss of numerous innocent civilians and calls for a ceasefire for a durable solution to the Palestinian issue.”
Turkey
Turkey recalled ambassador Sakir Ozkan Torunlar, according to a statement from Turkey’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs earlier this month, calling out Israel for an “unfolding humanitarian tragedy in Gaza” after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu “no longer someone we can talk to,” though Erdogan acknowledged: “complete disconnection is not possible, especially in international diplomacy.”
Israel has exterminated more than 10,000 Palestinians in Gaza, the majority being women and children, according to the Associated Press, citing the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry, while less than 1,200 Israelis have been killed, many of whom were active military, former military, and civilians complicit in crimes against Palestinians along with innocent noncombatants killed in the October 7 operation on Israel, which was used as a pretext to forcibly relocate more than a million Palestinians from their land.
Honduras
Honduras also recalled its ambassador Roberto Martinez “amid the grave humanitarian situation” in Gaza, the country’s Foreign Minister Enrique Reina said on X, formerly known as Twitter, becoming the latest Latin American country to cut diplomatic ties with Israel.
Bahrain
Bahrain’s Parliament said earlier this month the Middle Eastern country had suspended its economic ties with Israel and recalled its ambassador, while Israel’s ambassador in Bahrain was also sent back to Israel, though Israel’s Foreign Ministry claimed it had not been notified of the decision, calling relations between the two countries “stable,” multiple outlets reported.
Jordan
Jordan, a key U.S. ally in the Middle East, recalled its ambassador and ordered Israel’s ambassador in Jordan not to return to the country, its Foreign Ministry announced in a statement on X, accusing Israel of “killing innocent people” and “causing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe” with “dangerous possibilities for its expansion.”
Jordan, a key U.S. ally in the Middle East, recalled its ambassador and ordered Israel’s ambassador in Jordan not to return to the country, its Foreign Ministry announced in a statement on X, accusing Israel of “killing innocent people” and “causing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe” with “dangerous possibilities for its expansion.”
Bolivia
Bolivia also broke ties with Israel, with Bolivia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Freddy Mamani condemning the “aggressive and disproportionate Israeli military offensive” in Gaza, according to multiple translations.
Colombia
Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro announced late last month the country had recalled ambassador Margarita Manjarrez, with Petro also calling for a cease-fire in the conflict.
Chile
Chile also brought back its ambassador from Israel, with its Foreign Affairs Ministry issuing a statement saying it “strongly condemns” Israel’s military operations, calling it a “great concern” and arguing Israel’s operations in Gaza equate to “collective punishment.”
Chief Critic
Lior Haiat, a spokesperson for Israel’s Foreign Ministry, slammed Turkey’s decision to recall its ambassador in a post on X, calling the move “another step by the Turkish president that sides with the Hamas terrorist organization.”
Key Background
Netanyahu earlier this month rejected calls for pauses in Israel’s war with Hamas, vowing to continue military operations in Gaza “with full force” and conditioning any pause in Israeli military action on Hamas’ release of Israeli hostages.
U.S. officials, along with those of other Western countries, have called for pauses in the conflict to allow for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza and for the safe release of hostages. Netanyahu agreed to daily pauses last week. More

Super cities, highways under Mexican jungle
Leaf of Life, Insider Business; CC Liu, Sheldon S., Crystal Quintero (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly
What scientists just discovered under this jungle shocks the world
Over the last few centuries, wonders of the world have been uncovered in the Americas, particularly in the dense jungles using the new technological advancement called LiDAR (which has also found equally surprising advanced architecture in the jungles of Buddhist Cambodia).
But who knew that we were just scratching the surface?
In a world-shattering revelation, technological advancements reveal what scientists were never able to see hidden beneath the dense jungle canopy. What they found is beyond anything they could have imagined.
Who has what it takes to stomach the truth? Join us as we unveil the cosmic mysteries that lie beneath the trees.
In Meso- and Central American tropical forests, one of Mother Nature's last lungs, it's a dense, impenetrable, hot, humid environment, teeming with life and biting insects, 35 million hectares of it.
This forest is as big as Germany. It's one of the largest tropical rainforests left on planet earth, making others on planet look tiny in comparison.
Trying to solve a mystery inside this jungle is like looking for a needle in a haystack. This giant expanse of trees spans across three countries:
In the north is Mexico, to the southwest is Guatemala, and to the southeast is Belize. This forest spreads as far out as the Caribbean coastline. Centuries ago, it stretched even farther, as far south as El Salvador and Honduras.
This is not any old jungle. It's known as the Forest of the Maya and hides some of the most perplexing mysteries known to humankind. The sheer size of the jungle, with its thick under story of green plants and creeping vines makes the place extremely hostile for the untrained.
For archeologists and geologists, it has been a challenge to find the ancient megalithic sites an extremely advanced civilization left behind almost a millennia ago.
What has already been uncovered is only a fraction of what once were super cities, not just one but thousands of urban centers that supported millions of inhabitants, just like mega cities today but far more advanced than we have ever dreamed.
It may seem crazy to imagine what was going on here, but LiDAR technology is mapping out what is beneath a thick canopy cover. What is being discovered is something that was thought entirely impossible [unless the stories of El Dorado were to be believed].
The latest LiDAR technology allows scientists to map the forest floor without having to disturb or dig anything up. This technology is expensive and used only a handful of times, but what it has done is give scientists a kind of X-ray vision.
What they are seeing is perplexing that it has left them scratching their heads in confusion.
What is it? Find out.
