Brazil is busy preparing the country for the World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016, but last month another big news came out of Brazil. Finnish archeologists reported finding the remains of an ancient civilization in the Amazonian area of Brazil. The team has unearthed artifacts including new forms of ceramics and over 200 kg of pot fragments. In addition, many of the geometrical earth mounds found have geometrical patterns and are large in dimension measuring over hundred meters. These structures have been discovered in the Brazilian state of Acre.

     Professor Martti Pärssinen who leads the Danish team of archeologists points out that these large multiple structures perhaps required as much effort and energy for the native ancient civilization to build as the pyramids in Egypt.
