The Amazon Rainforest is a dazzlingly vast and complex ecosystem, a six-million-square-kilometer world unto itself. Despite its central role in countless indigenous origin stories and traditions stretching back millennia, it's largely been ignored by mainstream archaeology. Conventional thinking held that such an apparently raw and dynamic expanse of wilderness couldn't possibly have played any important role in the cultural evolution of human beings. Also: OpenAI upgrades ChatGPT with Codex - and I'm seriously impressed (so far) That's changing, however, now that a raft of new archaeological discoveries is flipping the original paradigm on its head and corroborating what indigenous peoples have long insisted: that the Amazon was once home to a rich, flourishing civilization. These discoveries have largely been enabled by technologies such as satellite imagery and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR).
