3. Amazing discovery! It would have remained invisible without extreme effort.

This is the first example I've seen of LIDAR being used in this part of the world.

Some walls were 3 meters thick? Incredible. Built to last, apparently. Steel-producing.

Similar altitude to Macchu Pichu's. Mind-boggling.

So much to discover. Looking forward so much to any and all future information from Uzbekistan on the two high-altitude population centers.

Found an article, with short videos of preliminary investigation of the area by international workers, from a publication by Washington University:

Thank you for introducing this wonderful new information!
