And is all that area covered completely with jungle right now? Completely covered in jungle. Yeah. So if you went out there- You wouldn't see any of this. You may not realize that you were standing on a mound. You really got to train your eyes.

I filmed this little series about a year and a half ago called Jungle of Stone, where I was going through the jungles in Central America, and we charted this city that had 16 pyramids in it. We were there all day long, and we charted 16 pyramids. And when I put it out, I got all these comments that were like, you're not doing anything but walking on a bunch of hills because it's so hard to see it.

The jungle just claims everything back. So it takes, you really have to sit with seeing these things in person for a while before you start recognizing, oh, that is a mound or that is a pyramid. That is a structure under the jungle. And so Percy Fawcett, where that Lidar came out is one of the places that he told his wife.

This century for sure. This century is going to be insane. It's going to be insane. Like, you're going to have everyone scanning everything. All of the Amazon will be mapped with LIDAR by the end of the century. All of the Sahara is going to be mapped with LIDAR by the end of the century.

Yeah, yeah. Well, those are my two big things. Like when we talk about Atlantis and we talk about lost civilizations, I mean my thing is the Sahara and the Amazon. Both of these things existed pre-Ice Age, especially if we're talking about pre-Ice Age civilization. The Sahara – is an oasis, you know, 10,000 plus years ago. It's an oasis.

I remember like sitting on the couch after school and reading it. And my dad comes up to me, he's like, that's a big book. And I go, I know. It's like I'm reading a textbook for fun, you know. And it was dense reading for me as a 16-year-old.
