"Discovery of Massive Ancient Amazon City"

A massive ancient city, dating back 2,500 years and hidden in the Amazon, has been discovered by scientists in eastern Ecuador. The city, with evidence of 6,000 mounds thought to be ancient homes, challenges previous beliefs about the history of people living in the Amazon. The discovery reveals a complex urban society with a network of roads, canals, and ceremonial platforms, suggesting a population in the tens of thousands. This finding changes the way we understand Amazonian cultures and highlights the need to reevaluate our ideas about ancient civilizations in the region.
