The Kid Should See This 🌈🪐✨

🔍🌿 Laser light technology called LiDAR is transforming Maya #archaeology by creating 3D maps of ancient cities hidden beneath jungle canopy. Where archaeologists once hacked through wilderness on foot, now remote sensors capture detailed data showing extensive urban networks.

The 2016 PACUNAM survey alone mapped over 2,000 square kilometers and identified more than 60,000 structures, dramatically expanding our understanding of Maya civilization's scale and complexity.

The story that Pontius Pilate was born in Fortingall (completely ridiculous, since the Romans wouldn’t come near Scotland until 71 CE) seems to have begun not long after Sir Donald Currie, a shipping magnate, bought the Glenlyon estate in 1885. Currie had several literary friends, & they may have invented the story as a prank.

The Fortingall Yew – estimated to be between 2000 and 9000 years old – is real.
