Note the photo above and below, the 40' x 70' rectangular compound with what looks like a small 30' wide, 25' high gray pyramid with steps. I'll be going to this very site in December 2024 to confirm or debunk the find. Also, I will give live updates with photos and videos of the discovery, or non-discovery via Starlink.
THE TELL TALE CLUES OF DISCOVERYING & EXPLORING RUINS IN A RAINFOREST
Analyzing satellite imagery of the Amazon to identify potential ruins, there are several ways that foliage patterns can provide clues:
- Linear or geometric patterns: Ancient structures, roads, or agricultural fields may cause vegetation to grow in straight lines or geometric shapes that stand out from the natural, more irregular growth patterns of the surrounding jungle.
- Differences in vegetation color: Ruins can affect soil composition and moisture retention, leading to variations in plant health and species. This may appear as patches of distinct coloration in the canopy.
- Shadows: Elevated structures, even when overgrown, can cast shadows that are visible in satellite imagery, especially when the sun is at a low angle.
- Texture variations: Collapsed structures or areas of previous human occupation may have different soil composition and drainage, affecting the texture and density of the vegetation growing above them.
- Mounds or raised areas: Earthworks, mounds, or collapsed buildings may create subtle topographic variations that influence vegetation growth and appearance.
- Depressions or voids: Conversely, some ruins, such as sunken plazas or reservoirs, can appear as depressions or areas with sparser vegetation.
- Persistent vegetation patterns: Certain plants, such as trees, may grow in consistent patterns over ruins due to the underlying archaeological features.
