Oprah: “Everybody gets a Compound!”
It seems they are all facing the same direction...Is it because the direction of sunrise or sunset??? Or prevailing winds???
I’ve owned more or less South facing houses over the last 50 years.
It’s not an accident.
Was there a giant rolling stone marble?
About 4 tons?
From what I’ve read the early explorers of the Amazon reported large numbers of people and vast open fields where agriculture was practiced. It was not dense impenetrable rain forest like it largely is now.
Humans had apparently terraformed the Amazon along with much of North America. This is covered in the book “1491”. The book is not only a great read but provides a lot of food for thought.
I’ve owned 6 (built 2 of them)...They’ve faced different directions...
Isn’t LIDAR great?
Crop dust with agent orange and go check it out.
that is just amazing. Love that LIDAR
I’ve owned three, all within 30 deg. of South.
Orientation by personal choice [though never the primary factor for purchase, always a factor].
I seem to recall reading a few years ago that according to satellite data or some kind of survey the rainforest had terraced farms and fields under it. So much for it being “the lungs of the planet”.
And.... notice the right angles. Why right angles?
Another mystery is Pumapunku, or Gobekli tepe.......
So much to learn, not so much time.....
There was a HUGE civilation that existed previously.
Don’t be silly, “Jimmy can’t jump”...lol
“Jimmy is hurt...”
“Jimmy likes Elaine.”
“Look to the cookie”........
“Tippy toe, tippy toe.....”
“It just shrinks!”.
Ever see the show on Nat Geo where the host uses LIDAR to discover all sorts of ancient places that nobody would otherwise know are there? Pretty Neat
Anyone remember back to Feb-March of 1966 when the newspapers were telling of submerged cities of the West Coast of South America? I remember it well.
Never heard about it again.

How fast can the gov. wring enough money to buikd housing for America’s invaders. Have mercy on NY, guys!
