A lost Maya city abandoned more than 1,000 years ago was found in the jungles of Campeche on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula.
YUCATÁN, Mexico — The first time I watched “Raiders of the Lost Ark” as a kid, it inspired me to explore the little forest behind my house.
When no discovery emerged, I remember thinking there must be a more efficient way to investigate the past. Archaeologist Ivan Šprajc of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts and his team used Fernandez-Diaz’s data and found 50-foot-tall structures resembling pyramids, pottery and engravings that they believe date back to between 600 and 900. The lost city’s “peculiar features” could take years to excavate.When archaeologists excavated the Oc Eo site in southern Vietnam, they uncovered a sandstone slab and nutmeg seeds that still released a unique aroma.
The next-generation space observatory is set to launch between October 2026 and May 2027. Named for NASA’s first chief of astronomy, the telescope may have what it takes to find hundreds of Earth-mass rogue planets as well as thousands of exoplanets that orbit stars. Global warming is also having a more immediate effect on air travel, making it more difficult for planes to take off at certain airports and contributing to summer travel woes.
