Indigenous Urns Found on Amazon's Human-Made Islands
Seven ancient pre-Columbian funeral urns were discovered on human-made islands in the Brazilian Amazon, containing human bones, seeds, and animal remains, with their age and cultural origins still being studied. The urns were found after a tree fell, revealing their burial site, which was built by indigenous people to protect against floods. The discovery highlights the region's rich archaeological history and the importance of community involvement in uncovering it.
