A simple Google search led to one of the most remarkable archaeological discoveries in recent history. In this episode, we uncover how a PhD student identified a previously unknown Maya city hidden beneath the forests of Mexico using LiDAR imagery found on page 16 of Google search results. We explore the technology behind the discovery, what archaeologists found at the site of Valeriana, and why this forgotten city could reshape our understanding of the ancient Maya civilization.
