    Ancient Mayan city discovered in Mexican jungle

    An ancient Mayan city was discovered in the Mexican jungle using airborne laser mapping, revealing a 37-acre settlement with a 43-foot-tall pyramid temple. The site, linked to the Late Classic period (250AD-900AD), highlights advanced Mayan civilization, which may have reached 16 million people before collapsing, possibly due to climate changes.
