Thanks to Laser Technology, 1,200-Year-Old Asphalt Road Belonging to the Maya Tribe in the Forest is Revealed

It is known that LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology has once again proven capable of revealing amazing and difficult-to-detect ancient structures from the ground surface.

"Drone Scanning Reveals Ancient Structures in the Puuc Region."

Researchers conducted scanning around the Puuc region covering an area of approximately 190 hectares and successfully discovered hidden ancient structures within the forest. In-depth research revealed that drones were able to find ancient sacbe. Sacbe, or "white roads," are paved roads built by the Maya civilization.

This sacbe has a length of 18 kilometers and a width between five to six meters, making it the largest sacbe in the northern Maya region. This road serves as a connection between the cities of Uxmal and Kabah for a period of over 250 years, from 700 to 950 AD.

The precolonial city of Uxmal is famous for its fascinating Mesoamerican pyramid, known as the Pyramid of the Magician. This pyramid is the tallest and most prominent structure in the ancient city of Uxmal. Several other nicknames are also given to refer to this pyramid, such as the Dwarf Pyramid, Casa el Adivino, and the Pyramid of the Soothsayer. On the other hand, Kabah is one of the rare Maya settlements that still retains its original name, which means 'strong hand.' It is the second largest ruin in the Puuc region after Uxmal.

Although the information possessed by scientists about the discovered sacbe is still limited, it is known that the ancient Maya systematically planned and built a vast network of roads to connect thousands of people in the Puuc region. In 2020, a similar road discovery was also reported between Coba and Yaxuna.

Benefits of LIDAR for Scientists.

There are many fascinating ancient Maya ruins that are still hidden in the jungle and can be revealed through the use of LIDAR technology.

For example, scientists can identify the existence of a large Maya civilization that was previously unknown about 2,000 years ago in northern Guatemala. Then, there are 417 ancient city, village, and village sites that have been successfully documented in the forest through the use of LIDAR technology.

In this year, scientists discovered a large Mesoamerican calendar that was built thousands of years ago along the Gulf of Mexico coastline.
