NOVA 'Ancient Builders of the Amazon'

Discoveries reveal traces of ancient civilizations that flourished for centuries with prehistoric populations in the Amazon.


Of course, there will be reruns later.

Could be interesting.

1. Thanks! Season 50 episode 3 of Nova (Timer set)

I always wondered why humans did not set up mega civilizations along the Amazon, Orinoco or La Plata as they seem to do elsewhere on this planet.
