An airborne survey in southern Mexico uncovered traces of over 6,700 ancient Maya structures, including houses and pyramids, revealing the complexity of their civilization.
This discovery sheds light on the densely populated areas of the ancient Maya, suggesting a sophisticated society that thrived in what was previously thought to be uninhabited forest regions.
The findings indicate that the ancient Maya civilization was much more extensive and intricate than previously realized, prompting a reevaluation of their societal organization and infrastructure.
These aerial observations have transformed our understanding of the ancient Maya, suggesting they constructed much larger and more diverse settlements than traditional archaeological methods have revealed.
