Wissenschaftler finden riesige Maya-Stätte in Guatemala | History - Geschichte

Wissenschaftler finden riesige Maya-Stätte in Guatemala | History - Geschichte | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

Archäologen sind im Dschungel Guatemalas auf eine Maya-Stätte enormen Ausmaßes gestoßen: Zehntausende bislang unentdeckte Häuser, Verteidigungsanlagen wie Gräben und Schutzwälle sowie Pyramiden, landwirtschaftlich genutzte Flächen von industriellem Ausmaß und Bewässerungskanäle. Das Areal im Norden des Bezirks Petén soll insgesamt etwa 60.000 Bauten auf einer Fläche von 2100 Quadratkilometern umfassen.

Geglückt ist die Entdeckung einer Gemeinschaft von Archäologen aus den USA, Europa und Guatemala. Die Forscher nutzten dabei auch eine spezielle Lasertechnik. Sie kommt bei Luftbildaufnamen zum Einsatz und wird LiDAR genannt. Diese Kartierungstechnik macht Konturen sichtbar, die sonst unter dem dichten Blattwerk des Dschungels verborgen sind.

Scientists discover ancient Mayan city hidden under Guatemalan jungle


Aerial laser mapping detects thousands of hidden structures in Peten region, suggesting its population was millions more than previously thought.

Researchers using a high-tech aerial mapping technique have found tens of thousands of previously undetected Mayan houses, buildings, defence works and pyramids in the dense jungle of Guatemala’s Peten region, suggesting that millions more people lived there than previously thought.

The discoveries, which included industrial-sized agricultural fields and irrigation canals, were announced on Thursday by an alliance of US, European and Guatemalan archaeologists working with Guatemala’s Mayan Heritage and Nature Foundation.

The study estimates that roughly 10 million people may have lived within the Maya Lowlands, meaning that kind of massive food production might have been needed.

“That is two to three times more [inhabitants] than people were saying there were,” said Marcello A Canuto, a professor of anthropology at Tulane University.
