Jungles Hide Cities

Jungles Hide Cities explores how cutting-edge LiDAR technology is revolutionizing our understanding of ancient civilizations hidden beneath dense rainforests. This interdisciplinary approach, blending history, earth sciences, and geography, uncovers evidence of sophisticated societies that thrived in challenging environments. The book reveals how these rainforest civilizations, often overlooked, possessed advanced knowledge of resource management and urban planning, challenging long-held assumptions about their limitations. LiDAR's ability to penetrate dense canopies allows researchers to map vast, previously unknown urban centers and landscapes, offering a new perspective on human history and environmental adaptation.

The book systematically introduces LiDAR technology and its applications, presenting case studies of hidden cities discovered across various regions. It then delves into the societal structures, economic systems, and environmental practices of these rediscovered civilizations. By integrating remote sensing data with archaeological findings and historical records, Jungles Hide Cities provides a holistic view of these ancient societies and their impact on the environment. This fresh perspective reshapes our understanding of human ingenuity and the interplay between human activity and the environment.

The book progresses from explaining the technology to showcasing specific discoveries, then analyzing the societal implications of the findings. It concludes by discussing ethical considerations for preserving these sites and their relevance to sustainable development. This book will appeal to anyone interested in archaeology, history, and the power of technology to unveil the secrets of our past.
