Laser Scans Reveal 60 000 Previously Unknown Maya Structures Hidden In Peering into dense forests in southern mexico, an airborne survey has revealed traces of more than 6,700 houses, pyramids and other structures built by the ancient maya 1. archaeological. A lidar ("light" and "radar") survey of the area has revealed 60,000 previously unknown structures suggesting a vast megalopolis that was home to millions more people than previously thought.
Lidar Reveals Massive Mobilization Of Labor Needed To Build Maya Site Through the use of lidar laser technology, researchers in guatemala have discovered over 61,000 ancient mayan structures. these yielded new information about the agriculture, lifestyle, and day to day life of the mayan people. Recent research using laser imaging has identified over 6,700 pre‑hispanic structures spread across the surrounding landscape, a pattern that suggests not a single isolated city but a network.

With lidar, researchers removed the tree canopy from aerial images of the landscape, revealing the ruins of a vast pre columbian civilization. these ruins were far more complex and interconnected than most maya specialists had thought. That overlooked, decade old survey contained groundbreaking information hidden in plain sight. the survey used light detection and ranging (lidar) technology, a remote sensing method that sends. Using lidar, a laser based detection system that maps landscapes by cutting through dense foliage, tulane researchers uncovered over 6,500 hidden maya structures in mexico, including lost. The technology has helped identify hundreds of thousands of structures in mayan cities across southern mexico and northern guatemala.
