Pre-Columbian roads of the Amazon

Article Abstract:

The pre-Columbian roads of Bolivia's Baures region were discovered in the 1950s, and their dark striations on the region's topography can been seen by orbiting satellites. Some measure up to 60 ft wide and 3 miles long; most are straight from beginning to end, which suggests that they were planned out before construction began.
