Laser Uncovers 60,000 Hidden Maya Structures

LiDAR scans over northern Guatemala stripped away jungle canopy to reveal 60,000 Maya houses, pyramids, and causeways forming a megacity rivaling ancient Rome. Raised highways cross swamps, and extensive reservoirs show advanced water engineering for an estimated 10‑15 million people. Most sites remain unexcavated. What would you explore first?
