Maya artifacts had been previously found in the region, but the lidar measurements revealed the full scope of the farms and canals, including one area that the scientists had never seen before.
The study demonstrates the benefits of combining high-tech tools like lidar with traditional archaeological practices, according to Katharine Johnson, a University of Connecticut geographer who has used airborne lidar to unearth remains of historic sites hidden beneath dense forests in New England.but is best used in combination with complementary information,” Johnson said in an email.
Through their farming practices, which included burning the fields before planting, the Maya likely contributed to a slight regional rise in atmospheric levels of the“It’s not that the ancient Maya were a source of global warming,” Beach said. “The point we want to make is that these very small changes in greenhouse gases may have been significant and may have caused some level of climate warming, which should give us cause to worry even more about what’s going on now.
MACH burning the fields before planting may only have been part of it, The greater portion is taking the water from underground aquifers, rivers & lakes to affect the rain cycle. The so called magnetic occillation that creates equilibrium between cloud & ground, a step in the cycle.
MACH This is a pretty interesting article until the end when you tried to turn it into a global climate change editorial. The fact is, there was climate change BEFORE they did this, which is why they did it.
