Archeologists have uncovered a cluster of lost cities in the Amazon rainforest that was home to at least 10,000 farmers about 2,000 years ago. The earthen mounds and buried roads in Ecuador were first noticed about two decades. But only recent mapping with laser technology revealed a network of settlements and connecting roadways tucked into the foothills of the Andes. The 6,000 earthen mounds found are thought to have been platforms for residential and ceremonial buildings. While the Mayans and Aztecs built with stone, ancient Amazonians usually built with mud. The findings were reported Thursday in the journal Science.
