lidar flights over southwestern amazonia identified more than 20,000 geometric earthworks — comparable to everything previously estimated for the entire amazon — with researchers estimating 1.25 to 3 million people lived there around 100-300 ad. separately, cut marks on glyptodont bones from argentina suggest humans were butchering megafauna 21,000 years ago, far earlier than the accepted timeline for the region. both findings push in the same direction: the deep human history of south america is larger and older than the standard account, and the lost-civilisation current will absorb these as vindication.
