tezza Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Lost medieval city found in Cambodia using revolutionary scanning technology and Indiana Jones-style jungle expedition.Archaeologists used Lidar technology that combines narrow lasers with radars to scan the ancient city, It was attached to a helicopter that spent a week flying over the site north of Angkor Wat collecting the data.A group of daring archaeologists uncovered a lost 1,200-year-old city on a misty Cambodian mountain by hacking through the thick jungle, strewn with live land mines.Yet they were also aided in their quest by some incredible technology that revealed the ancient city to them in the first place, and guided by a local - a one-legged former Khmer Rouge soldier.Mahendraparvata, the city they found, is thought to pre-date the famous site of Angkor Wat by around 350 years and lies only 25 miles west of that huge temple.Archaeologists believe Mahendraparvata was the first city of the Angkor Empire in 802 AD.Continue, pictures, videohttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2342339/Lost-medieval-city-Cambodia-using-revolutionary-scanning-technology-Indiana-Jones-style-expedition.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
