The pyramid at Montegrande changed everything. ( Quirino Oliveria Nuñez ) The Empty Amazon Theory Megaliths Discovered in Brazil May Be an Amazonian Stonehenge Created By an Advanced Ancient Civilization.Genetic studies link indigenous peoples in the Amazon and Australasia.Hundreds of Amazonian Geoglyphs Resembling Stonehenge Challenge Perceptions of Human Intervention in the Rainforest.It was a massive pyramid, built by a forgotten civilization in the Amazon rainforest – and it was over 3,000 years old. In 2010, archaeologist Quirino Olivera and his team started digging into the Montegrande hill, and soon discovered what they were excavating wasn’t a hill at all. Their homes became an archaeological site. These were relics of the past, and they were more than 1,000 years old. These, they soon learned, were more than old utensils. As the farmers worked the land, they started to uncover sherds of old pots. For centuries, it was ignored, and, in time, as Peru’s cities and towns stretched further out in the Amazon, farmers even set up their homes on top of it. A particularly steep one perhaps, but nothing more than an overgrown mound of earth. It is called Montegrande and, to look at it, it seems like nothing more than another hill. There is a hill in the Amazon rainforest that stretches out over two acres of land.
