A huge Mayan city has been discovered centuries after it disappeared under jungle canopy in Mexico.
Archaeologists found pyramids, sports fields, causeways connecting districts and amphitheatres in the southeastern state of Campeche.

Read the Book of Mormon and find out about the people and their beliefs so long ago.
Haha I like how they say they faded into obscurity due to war and disease, literally was a genocide comited bye the Spanish but keep it PC 😂

IT'S TIME TO BUILD SOME SKYSCRAPERS
I lived in Belize for many years and had lots of Mayan friends, there are Maya villages and most of the people speak Mayan among themselves but many speak Creole and Spanish also. The Maya are not gone
Wait I've seen this horror movie before…..
In 1542 they reported vast cities in the Amazon. I wonder if small pox really reset the whole continent.
Fake
In India we have a story how a man called Sugreeva travelled across the seas to the land with a trident on its shores. That is El Candelabro in Peru. The ancient knew each other.
"Due to war and disease <they> faded into obscurity." Sounds like the path the United States is on.
She's boring.
Im tired of "faded into obscurity" when the Maya are still alive
How sad that, due to religion and their greedy zealots, beautiful cities and exotic cultures have been lost to mankind; their libraries burned as being works of the Devil. Now only ruins remain.
Mi MÉXICO MÁGICO 🐍🦅🇲🇽
Wait it's 15 minutes from a road? How has nobody found this yet
Are these ones from Forza horizon 5? …
Man news should make more of these instead of war corruption and messed up stuff
Someone was literally making videos showing google maps / satellite view 15 years ago showing where these things were. There's tons of them in the jungles down there that have just gotten overgrown and forgotten with time. This is not new news.
Apparently the BBC found a old script there which read
"All white ghost people are racist "
And also meat eaters are racist
Too bad there wasn't some ancient text written by these people, and available to be read today. Oh wait, there is! Allow me to introduce "The Book of Mormon".
Another archaeological discoveries a Mayan City. inside the Jungles 😮
Old news. They said this years ago and when scanned with first lidars, that the jungle is full of huge citys and temples. And these are probably way more older to be covered in such thick layer of earth.
"The Mayan's fadded into obscurity around 300 years ago"?
Am I the only one that needs that statement explained?
Ahora el puto gobierno talara miles de kilometro de árboles para que su pinche tren mierda pase por ahí
if you dig down and make noise you might see the warden
Big block chicken
Can't wait for colonizers to take these artifacts for to museums so the people have to travel and pay to see their own history.
Bad reporting here.
@primitive technology
There are a lot of those in Belize and Mexico
It always rubs me the wrong way how the genocide of European colonization isn’t inferred as one of the reasons for the collapses of almost all mesoamerican civilizations.
Shows a 50-70m tall pyramid with zero effort to explain how was building of this size discovered only recently and was hidden by the jungle for all these years. Apparently the discovered structures are only the remains of once big buildings now covered in dense foliage and moss and other deposits. But why I need to guess or deduce that? This is closer to fake news than what one might think.
the spanish completely ruined entire civilizations and history
"War and desease" lol
Time to go have an Indiana Jones adventure
So they were searching for ruins and they found this accidentally? Make that make sense.
Climate change got em, yeah must have been all those automobiles and airplanes back then
Climate change? Really? Is there anything it can’t do?????
