Studies show that people who spend more time on social media sites feel more socially isolated than those who don't. This might be because of a disconnect between our online lives and our real ones.

Curse of the "Lost City of the Monkey God"?

Curse of the "Lost City of the Monkey God"? | SoRo anthropology | Scoop.it
An expedition in the jungles of Central America uses advanced technology to search for the remains of an ancient civilization

Via Seth Dixon
Matt Manish's curator insight, March 17, 2018 10:18 PM
I found that this article really captured my attention while reading it. Not only because of the mysterious lost city that was being searched for, but also because the archaeologists looking for it used the laser mapping system called LIDAR to look for the lost city. I have read about this laser system that has come out recently, and how it is making it easier than ever to locate cities that have been lost for centuries due to dense jungles. This laser system scans an area of jungle from a plane and then is able to detect structures such as lost cities that are covered by the jungle below. This is what helped the archaeologists mentioned in this article recently find this lost city. The LIDAR system seems like such an incredibly useful tool to help find ancient structures that are lost in South American jungles. I look forward to future discoveries that will come from this tool, and I wonder what ancient cities we will soon find that have been hidden away from the world for centuries.
