An Ancient Mayan City

If you head to the Yucatan area of Mexico, you'll be surrounded by jungle. There are trees and mangroves everywhere, as well as secret sinkholes and cenotes hidden amongst the trees. But in 2016, something else was uncovered in the jungle - and that was a long-lost Mayan city. And to make matters even more unbelievable, this long-lost city was discovered by a 15-year-old boy when he read the stars.

Through his stargazing adventures and his own research, he was able to pinpoint where this city was - and satellite imagery has been able to confirm his theory. At the time of writing, however, it has yet to be explored in person.
