Ancient earthwork centers reveal a sprawling Aquiry civilization once thrived. This society supported millions across a vast Amazonian region. Researchers used laser technology to map hidden structures beneath the canopy. The forest itself was engineered by these ancient inhabitants for cultivation. This discovery significantly rewrites the history of the Amazon basin.

Today, the Amazon rainforest is revered as one of Earth's most immaculate wildernesses.

Many of these structures date to around C.E. 100–300, during the time of the Aquiry civilization, and may have been used for ceremonial purposes
