Everyone has heard about the aztecs, who lived in Mexico. But hardly anyone has ever heard of the Mayans, an advanced civilization who ruled before the Aztecs took over.
Using the new ‘LiNEAR’ technology, experts are shedding light on the most mysterious civilization. Drones or aircrafts fly over the jungle or forest and shoot hundreds of lasers down to the ground. These scan the area around them and upload them to a special computer. When you view the image back, it deletes the trees so you can see any hidden structures. You can also get LiNEAR on an augumented realty app that you can get on an iPAD, if you’re dwn on the ground.
This can be very helpful if you are an archaeologist and want to discover lost treasures. By now, you’re probably wondering ‘how did the Mayans tame the jungle’ or something like that. But the answer is the landscape was less densley vegetated, and thus making it easier to build there.
LiNEAR technology has revealed some suprising things - castles, watchtowers, and much more. All of this describes Mayans at WAR. When you hit a 20ft tall wall, you realise what happened there 2,000 years ago. Invading Mayan tribe would try to climb up it, but the other would hurl rocks, hot mud, or anything else they’d had on hand. LiNEAR technology had also reavealed stories of victorious tribes. The inhabitants of La Corona had won against the famous Snake Kings, in a bloodthirsty battle against two forces.
