“...a leading Amazon scholar, said the etchings appeared to have been made between 3,000 and 7,000 years ago when water levels in the region were lower... “

Or. It didn’t rain as much. Not much snow melt from the Andes.

What happened to the “Large Population”? My take. They were over taxes and left the area and the government ran out of other people’s labors.

I suggest reading “The Lost City of Z”. A facinating book.

Rubbish lies exposed on the dried bed of the Rio Negro

This would be a great opportunity for the locals to clean up some of that exposed rubbish.
