Listeros,
Ongoing research in the Amazon is returning more proof that it was  
once an area of densely populated urban centers in ancient times.  
Michael Heckenberger and his research team published their findings  
in the journal Science today. He has identified two major clusters of  
towns and villages with central seats of power with wide roads  
leading out to other communities. A major road aligned with the  
summer solstice intesects each town's central plaza. Larger towns  
were placed at cardinal points from the center and walled. Then there  
were fields for crops and fish farms. These clusters at their height  
between 1250-1650 AD may have housed 50,000 each.
