Thanks to modern technology, people found a lost ancient civilization. The LiDAR or Light Detection and Ranging, sent measurements for archeologists to discover Mayan population.

I never knew that a canyon opening is the size of a ballroom and also the stair cases were hand made that means the people were very strong.

Wow! Modern technology is really amazing! I can't beieve that people can use LiDAR to find a whole new city in the jungle. I can't think that there was a city in the jungle that had a million people in it and it just got discovered. Just imagene that a thousnd years later another species just found Philadelphia or New York City. In madern times we think that no one can miss those two cities but maybe later in the next generation they don't know these two cities are even there. The lasers are probaly one of the most high technology in this time right now. I know this because if a laser beam can run through such a thick jungle that no human eyes can see through then that laser can detect so many things. This shows that we are producing more high technology every year. I think that there will be so many more mysteries about the Myan to be discovered because of the city. There was probaly a good reason that it was hidden in a jungle. Maybe secret treasures? Maybe it's where they worship? No one knows. This is what I think about "Game Changer".

In the article " Explorers Discover Ancient Lost City In Honduran Jungle' it talks about how they use the lazar called Lidar. They used it to see the under the thick trees in the Honduran Jungle and when they find what they are looking for then it is transferred to a graph then they study the graph.

I think the Anasazi were forced to abandon their city. I think this because they were at the peak of their society and why would anyone leave because of that?

I think it is amazing how they can just send rays of info red down and maybe find a lost city in just hours when we use to have to go trekking through a jungle for hours maybe even days to find something that we can find in just hours with this info red.

i think it is interesting/cool on how what most thought what was a myth, is actually a reality. This makes me wonder if other myths are reality. Also its really facinating on how with an aircraft, they sent down laser beams from what is called a lidar to find that lost city within trees since they could get interferrence by birds and trees. (i did the article "Explorers Discover Ancient Lost City in Honduaran Jungle")

I feel as if the Anasazi are playing a hide and go seek game that never ends. I mean we think that we know what happened to them but I think that we are thinking to hard about it. Maybe they just left to go some where else but starved to death trying to find food. Or died from dehydration. Anyway we still have so much of the earth that has not been explored. But if I were to give an answer of where the Anasazi went I would say that they died of starvation at there own base camp. I think this because they say that more Anasazi just kept on coming until there were more than 6 people in each house. I think that they did not have enough food to feed everybody and those people just died or went somewhere else. Or they could have died of dehydration because when I went to visit the Anasazi base camp in Colorado it was very dry and not moist at all.

In the second story, the author talks about the discovery of an ancient city (not the white city) and how they discovered it. They do not know what city it is, but they discovered it by using a technique called lidar. Lidar uses a grid of infrared beams from an aircraft. The beam returns to the aircraft after it detects an object on the ground. This process lead to the finding of this unknown, lost city.

The first story I read was, "Tracking a Vanished Civilization in the Southwest." It was really interesting hearing a historian talk about his time searching for why the anasazi people left. He observed things such as, a long, ancient stairway carved by hand. He also discovered clean, delicious water. He stated that he was at the anasazi's old home when the spring's were dry, and he had to "suck on damped clay... that taste like dirty aquariums." He discovered many interesting facts about the anasazi and how they used to live. However, it is still a mystery why they left their home.

I learned how infared lazers discover lost cities! I think its so cool how thousands of infared lazers shoot down covering the entire lanscape going through trees like an xray beam. Its like a movie come true! these lazers can discover any lost city or overgrown area! This tells me how much technology is improving over the years. 50 years ago was airplanes and now we have xray lazers!

it's really cool that we have devolped this kind of technolgy. so now we can see things that we never imanged we could see or figure out. also i like the way they do it instead of cutting down the forest we can fly right over it and get better data insted of letting our brains remeber what we just saw in the jungle.so its amzing that we can do this so lets keep geting better technogly and get better data.
