Archaeologist Benedicto Perez Goicochea and colleagues discovered something fantastic in a remote mountainside in the Amazonian jungle: the village of the mystical "Cloud Forest People."
The buildings found on the Pachallama peak are in remarkably good condition, estimated to be over 1,000 years old and comprised of the traditional round stone houses built by the Chachapoya, the 'Cloud Forest People'. [...]
Archaeologist Benedicto Pérez Goicochea said: "The citadel is perched on the edge of an abyss.
"We suspect that the ancient inhabitants used this as a lookout point from where they could spot potential enemies."

It's cool how that's still there because it was under a rock cliff. I can't believe its in such good condition.

yeah I think it's great to know about the past knowledge cause we never know you might learn something from it.

I love this stuff. We still have so much to learn about human history.

I don't know why folks are so fascinated that perhaps human migration isn't as thoroughly documented and investigated as they are led to believe. The recent finding of red haired Caucasians in China is a good example that humans for a very long time have been nomadic and moved from place to place. Very fascinating topic.
