Just "discovered a very large 2,000-year-old #Mayan civilization in northern #Guatemala. ... the #ancientcivilization was made up of more than 1,000 settlements covering approximately 650 square miles, most of which were linked by multiple causeways. The researchers were also able to see that the people who once lived in the settlements had been densely packed—a finding that goes against theories suggesting early #Mesoamerican settlements tended to be sparsely populated." #LIDAR #Mayans
