Lost ancient cities with pyramids, canals and paved roads have been discovered in the Amazonian jungle.

The discovery was made from the air using lidars. Standing on the ground, it is almost impossible to see fragments of buildings under the dense vegetation of the jungle. In total, scientists have found about 15 unknown settlements and two new large cities. They were named Kotoka and Landivar. The discovery of lost cities will force anthropologists to take a fresh look at the culture and life of the peoples of pre-Columbian America.
