I love archeology and my interests were Central and South America when I was taking classes in that sort of thing. And I was studying remote sensing when LiDAR was becoming a widespread tool. I was wondering how long it would take for researchers to bring it to the Amazon.

After reading the book, 1491, I am interested in what other locations can be identified. It appears there were many large civilizations in the Americas before Europeans found out it was here.
