Tropical Miracle
According to Marcello Canuto who is an archeologist from the Tulane University, who also was the part of the team said that this discovery has drawn a very fine line between the engineering marvels and unadulterated miracles. But the question, how these people managed to move such heavy objects shocked him the most. “This was a civilization that was literally moving mountains, we’ve had this western conceit that complex civilizations can’t flourish in the tropics, that the tropics are where civilizations go to die,” Marcello said.
