LIDAR Reveals Ancient Superhighways

LIDAR mapping technology was recently deployed in the Guatemalan jungle, and revealed a network of ancient 'superhighways' that once connected pyramids. This important discovery means that the Maya civilization may have rivaled that of the vast Roman empire. Researchers with the archaeological Mirador Basin Project discovered the roads last month.
