Thousands of structures making up several ancient Mayan cities have just been uncovered after laying hidden for centuries.
The discovery of the structures, including pyramids, palaces and causeways, under a jungle has changed everything we thought we knew about the Mayan civilisation.
They have been revealed following an investigation by a team of international archaeologists using ground-penetrating laser technology in what’s been hailed as a “major breakthrough”.
The find allowed the researchers to map the outlines of what they describe as dozens of newly discovered Maya cities hidden under thick jungle foliage.
