The Amazon, the largest forest in the world, has a variety of surprises of its own. This vast forest stretches from northwestern Brazil to many South American countries such as Bolivia and Colombia. From time immemorial, humans have been in the habit of searching for new places. The presence of many nations became known to the outside world as people traveled around the world in search of new land and new opportunities.
There are many researchers who have invaded and searched for the lost city of gold called Eldorado. Similarly, it has long been believed that the city was lost in the Amazon rainforest.
Percy Fawcett, a researcher from the UK, believed that the Amazon was a lost city in the jungle. Anyone who went into the Amazon in search of that city in the 20th century never returned. No information is available on what happened to him. But the story of the 600-year-old lost city has been debated ever since.
In this case, researchers have discovered a vast city in the Amazon rainforest.
Researchers have discovered the city using laser technology Lidar, which flew helicopters 600 feet above the Amazon rainforest. Situated in the southwestern Amazon, the city may have been in use between 500 and 1400 AD, researchers say. With this technology, researchers have identified the city's terraces, straight sidewalks, checkpoints, and water reservoirs.
With more than 600 years of talk about a city lost in the Amazon rainforest, the fact that researchers have actually discovered the city is hotly debated around the world.
