The Amazon rainforest has always been shrouded in mystery and intrigue, with stories of lost civilisations and treasure troves hidden deep within its dense foliage. For centuries, adventurers and explorers have ventured into the jungle in search of El Dorado, the legendary city of gold. However, the harsh terrain and thick canopy of the rainforest have made it difficult to uncover its secrets. That is, until now.

In this video, we delve into the fascinating world of lost civilisations in the Amazon and the latest technology that is helping to uncover their secrets. Lidar, a remote sensing technology that uses lasers to create detailed 3D maps of the terrain, has revolutionized the way we explore the rainforest. By using Lidar, researchers have been able to uncover vast networks of ancient settlements, roads, and structures that were previously hidden from view.

We also explore the history of adventurers like Percy Fawcett, who famously disappeared while searching for El Dorado in 1925. Fawcett believed that the city of gold was located somewhere in the unexplored depths of the Amazon, and his story has captured the imagination of generations of explorers and treasure hunters.

Through interviews with archaeologists, explorers, and historians, we learn about the latest discoveries in the Amazon and the ongoing search for lost civilisations.
