Since making use of these gadgets, experts have been able to uncover even more about this forgotten and buried part of history. They have been able to understand more detailed and complex information and the people and the buildings that populated this country years ago. They have also been able to explore areas of Guatemala that have long since been buried by dense and populous jungle.

Instead of cutting down the trees for the sake of historical research, experts have been able to use state-of-the-art technology to look beneath the surface without even having to touch the ground. This has been hugely beneficial for the experts, and in September 2018, new research and lasers brought 60,000 ancient structures to our attention.
