HOLY CARP!!!
Interesting. I suspect it will have more to do with worship ceremonies, astronomy, agriculture, etc. than an actual lost city of any kind. But still it indicates an advanced civilization living in the middle of the rainforest.

I've always been fascinated by the ancient cultures of the Americas. IIRC, the Aztecs came upon ruins left by the Olmecs. The Mayans also came from some other place and just set up shop in Central America. I also understand that there is much, much more unexcavated buildings, cities and sites in South and Central America - just waiting the funding and the will.
