Reminder that the Amazon basin was home to complex civilization with millions of inhabitants. The natives were able to predict the course of astronomical bodies, calculate complex geometrical shapes, had advanced knowledge of agricultural and geological science and may have ver weel been in contact with aliens. Some Andean natives even went as far as perfoming brain surgery. All of that ruined by barbarian eurogutan marauders.

But kuhikugu had like 5k inhabitants and probably still existed 500 years ago.
Compared to europe it was very backwards.

in eastern Bolivia they burned huge chunks of forests creating huge savanna lands that still persist to this day

In Brazil people aways forget that large areas of the amazon are still covered by rich soil we call terrapreta, which is a soil admixture created by the natives for farming.

The Mojos were pretty rich in some resources, the oldest mentions of Paititi not as a city full of gold but as a distant province or place are pinpointed to their land or its surroundings like in the "Relacion de los Quipucamayoc"
>and what he could not bring through weapons and war, he brought them with bribes and gifts, they were the provinces of the Chunchos, Mojos and Andes (it used to refer to jungle tribes to the east, the whole mountain range eventually took its name) until they had their fortresses along the Patite River, and garrisoned people in them.

There's no good graphic representation of the amazonian civilazition. I used kuhikugu because it's the best one
