Are there Mayan ruins in the Amazon jungle?
Just wondering, is there like Mayan (or Incan or Aztec..?) ruins or previous civilization in the Amazon jungle/rainforest? I’m doing an azzignment and i was wondering. I knwo there are indians that haven’t been contacted and stuff, but is there any like old temples or stuff in the jungle?
…………The Mayans and there ruins are in Central America….. way far away from the Amazon..as well as the Aztecs……. The Incas were in Peru mainly along the coast still aways from the Amazon…… there is evidence to believe an ancient tribe or tribes inhabited the Amazon area with a system of mounds and roads before the white man came……… no Temples such as the Mayas built……. there is a very primitive tribe in the north area called the Yanonabi……. their construction is mostly circular village huts
The Links given above are interesting but deal with Mexico which is at least a 6 hour plane ride from the Amazon jungle

NOVA did an episode on how scientists are using Satellite photos to find new ruins in the jungles.
BRB with a link.
