re: 15 year old in Canada discovers ancient Mayan city, scientists are shamed

furthermore, is that part of the world really so under-populated that we haven't yet happened on the "4th largest mayan city"? even in the age of manned flight and google earth being smartphone-accessible to millions of people?
I posted the lat/long on the last page... if you look at that area it's pretty damn remote. There are what looks to be some logging camps 10 or so miles to the West, and some more Mayan ruins 25ish miles E-NE, but 10 miles is a lot of ground through dense jungle. The closest permanent settlements look like 35 miles or so due north through jungle.

I misunderstood the OP and thought he discovered the Mayan city in Canada.
I'm so fricking stupid.

Damn, great job by that kid.

I've been a lot of places in the woods that haven't seen people in 100 years, so I'm pretty sure someone knew about this huge fricking pyramid in the jungle. They just never spoke up. Not much of the earth hasn't been seen

That doesn't even count as earth. Plus, they have mapped a lot of the ocean floor already

It's kind of cool but he didn't really discover anything. You can't discover something that already exsists.

being in high school now is nothing like it used to be. I'm a few years removed, but I go back frequently to help the drumline. Now instead of football players and cheerleaders being popular.. It's the "geeks" and Sanders supporter types that're at the top now
Uh, yeah, I'm calling BS. Maybe if your school has completely horrible athletics and in a big city urban environment. Almost every single band person I knew in HS and college had very bad social skills, you can't be the "cool" kid with horrible social skills. That's not going to change.
Pretty cool on this kid. There is no way they couldn't have this inspected in under a day though, its not that hard to fly a copter our there.

So did he enter this in the science or social studies fair? Easily the Odds on favorite in either division for this year.

The mexicans that live right there are the ones who should be shamed. How does this go unnoticed?

I'd think that the jungle has grown over it to the point that only boots on the ground could 100% confirm it.

I don't see how this "shames scientists"
The kid made observations, formed a hypothesis, and now he's going to test it with help from the scientific community. I doubt that the community is anything but thrilled by what this kid has contributed.
