After all, what happened to the people here, now this mystery will be revealed, because experts have started finding answers to all the questions related to this place.
This is how this city was discovered: According to the report of The Sun, about 10 thousand people once lived at this place found in Ecuador. This ancient city had a system of platforms, plazas, roads, fields and canals. Laser-sensor technology has revealed a network of earthen mounds and buried roads in the Upano Valley, hidden for centuries beneath the foothills of the Andes.
Many roads were absolutely straight. Residential and ceremonial structures were built on approximately 6,000 earthen mounds, which were surrounded by agricultural fields with drainage channels. The widest roads were 33 feet wide and 6 to 12 miles long.
