Discussion: LIDAR in the jungle

Interesting broadcast from NPR about the use of LIDAR to discover lost city in Central America.

And not a single image. Arrgghhh!

I heard the tail end of the broadcast. Sounds like they were being pretty secretive about the exact location. It appears that it is pretty threatened by logging and potential looting. Would be very cool to go explore and help investigate a site like that.

I wonder if the people who made these massive cities worried about destroying what was there before.
