Dope idea! There's alot of undiscovered ruins and lost history to be reclaimed deep within those jungles too. We should protect them🇨🇦👌

I agree. But they Mayans destroyed jungles for agricultural purposes which led to their eventual demise. They weren't in the business of preservation.

I hear ya. Most people did back in the day. But not in the scale of what McDonalds and other companies are doing today.

For their location, it was on that scale. They denuded most of the Yucatan, southern Mexico and northern Central America. It temporarily allowed their population to explode and then they exceeded the carrying capacity of the land. It's happening all over again.

You guys realize there were dozens of other civilizations over 5000+ years in these areas with millions of people right? Some were custodians of the rainforest. Some not so much.

Do you care to share the archeological record of those "dozens of other civilizations" in that exact region?

We’re having an archaeologist golden age in central and SA. YouTube LiDAR and south / central America. There is a lot of info out in the last few years about this. Maybe try top 10 archaeological findings with LiDAR in various areas.

I saw news about the "new" sites in Peru. But nothing for the locales of the Mayan Empire.

Whole world has done that though. Too many people is fundamentally the world's problem.

Too many people using our current means of farming and how we source protein.

What Thanos got wrong: •being random w/the 50% •not waiting til planes landed, cars pulled over, etc It’s not like it’d be hard to get to 50% of world population if you include all the rapists, pedophiles, misogynists, religious crazies, MAGAt equivalent, & other scum we’d all be better off without

Same thing to the eastern U.S. when settlers first arrived and burned only wood for heat. Now that range is completely reforested.
