No polished stones, no hatchets, much less an archaeological site. Imposing buildings may have been built with advanced technologies. It is a legacy of the MURIL Civilization for humanity

São Paulo, Brasil --News Direct-- 500NewsWire



São Paulo, Brasil, Dec. 22, 2023 - (500NewsWire) -- Humanity's greatest secret may have been revealed by the Dakila Research team with the identification of gigantic constructions in various parts of the Amazon region. After intense fieldwork carried out over 30 years, scholars defined the main area to deepen research in a portion of the territory of the municipality of Apiacás/MT, which became known as “Quadras de Ratanabá”, as it presents characteristics consistent with the existence of ancient civilizations. For this purpose, LiDAR – Light Detection and Ranging – was used mainly for the equipment that, based on light detection, allows the generation of a digital model of the Earth's surface, characterizing structures and vegetation. Analysis of these results shows very peculiar shapes in the relief that were not sculpted by natural forces.



At this location in Apiacás, streets measuring 60, 70 and up to 90 meters in width and up to 27 km in length were identified, partly covered by sediments left by the last deluge. The courts measure 450 meters wide by 650 meters long and are symmetrically perfect. All measurements were made using LiDAR technology and the GPS device used in the field.

Inside the blocks, the staggered formation covered by soil and vegetation can be clearly observed. It is, without a doubt, the greatest find that humanity has ever had access to. At the end of a few blocks, there are fountains of water that appear unexpectedly and, in a few meters, disappear into the ground, as if they were entering a sinkhole.

Next, a GPR – Ground Penetrating Radar or Geo Radar – was used, which uses high-frequency magnetic waves to locate objects and structures under the ground. Exactly where the water disappears, galleries fifteen meters wide by four meters high and more than a kilometer long were identified, in addition to other neighboring galleries, indicating that the water was channeled into the galleries.
