@purplesasa I read your article, The hidden ancient mega-cities of the Amazon are finally revealing their secrets.
I thought this find might interest you. There is a full dataset with 100's of images, direct Google Earth links to the ruins & studies.

A new toy for adults is gaining massive popularity online. A mini Porsche for drifting.
It is equipped with an electric motor, weighs only 110 kg and is designed for one adult. The cost is about $6,000.

Researchers claimed to have found the oldest urbanized development in the world.
Dating back 6,000 years the site in the Ukraine is 320 hectares
Using geomagnetics they mapped ancient dwellings by detecting magnetic field variations caused by buried structures & iron particles.
@jacknicas Are these ancient ruins in the Brazilian Amazon? Maybe.
I'm going to the remote site in late December. If they are ruins, I'll send you photos and video from the site and you can tell the world.
@elonmusk@dinkin_flickaa I'm going on an expedition to discover lost ruins in the Brazilian Amazon, and I want to do a live stream on X from the top of one of these pyramids.
Question...
If I buy a Starlink Mini in the States, and take it to Brazil, can I get international roam?
Consider holistic conservation?
Say an ancient civilization is discovered in Brazil's Amazon that had millions of people, incredible arts, large architecture, temples, pyramids etc.
95% of the ppl died suddenly by disease due to Orellana's trip thru the Amazon. All treasures intact, tens of millions of artifacts. Billions of $$ worth. Basically, the inheritance of the indigenous people whose ancestors died in a colonial spread pandemic.
Al Capone said prohibition creates nothing but criminals and bigger problems.
The NETwork for Cultural Heritage Enhancing and Rebuilding (NETCHER) project, funded by the European Union, estimates that antiquities theft or illegal sales is responsible for moving up to US$15 billion each year globally.
The national debates over antiquities sales are marked by polarized positions, nations such as Mexico take a radical stance and argue that the sale of antiques is an unethical practice by nature. Mexicans consider that certificates of origin issued by auction houses are insufficient to ensure the legal sale of goods, since the items could have been stolen from their territory of origin at some point in the sales process.
โIn this debate, Brazil has stood out for adopting a moderate stance, defending that combating the trafficking of cultural property is not incompatible with the arts and antiques market,โ...
So, Brazil could see the tens of millions of treasures/artifacts left behind as a marketable product. Enter the idea of holistic conservation.
What if the artifacts from the lost civilization could be sold, entered into a Brazilian government provenance/digital museum online database?
Each properly excavated artifact sold has an authentication stamp, digital pics of where it was found, along with a super zoomed in "fingerprint" of a section of the artifact to show its authenticity.
Every owner must register their ownership with the Brazilian government, and that registration becomes part of the provenance.
This method will make people from all over the world curators of the artifacts. The proceeds from the sale goes to site preservation & development, a fund for all of Brazil's Indigenous people, and a %/fee to the authorized dealers who sell the items.
Holistic conservation asks the question.. What is better? Letting artifacts rot in the jungle or be left to looters, or to do the archaeology and make the sale of the properly excavated artifacts legal, and available to and preserved by individuals.
The inevitable discovery of a pandemic decimated civilization in the Amazon is upon us.
If archaeology continues on the same conservation or preservation path they use today, the criminals will become vastly wealthy stealing the inheritance of the Indigenous people.

I'm going to the Amazon in late December to confirm or debunk the Lost Civilization ruins I may have discovered on Google Earth.
