I'm a Native-American from the Andean region. And I had some idea that there were settlements, from a few articles I read some time ago. For example, the Inca and other Pre-Hispanic cultures were known to have traded parrot feathers. There had to be networks in the jungle. This is by far a more comprehensive report.
- soapdog 4y agoHello fellow South American :D you might enjoy the 1941 book by Charles Mann. A lot there will already be known to you, but it is still a very good book.
- ch4s3 4y agoI can second that. You may also enjoy The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity[1] which goes into a ton of detail about the sate archeology regarding pre-Colombian peoples in the Americas. I learned that Teotihuacan had abandoned the pyramid temples and pulled down many of it's palaces and rebuilt the city with apartment blocks hundreds of years before being abandoned.
