A teenager from Canada has discovered a Mayan City. William Gadoury, a 15-year-old from Saint-Jean-de-Matha in Canada, used images from NASA, the Canadian Space Agency and the Japanese Space Agency to connect the position of the stars in constellations to the position of Mayan cities.
“Geometric shapes, such as squares or rectangles, appeared on these images, forms that can hardly be attributed to natural phenomena,” says remote sensing specialist at the University of New Brunswick, Dr. Armand LaRocque.
“When Dr. LaRocque told me in January, we distinguish a pyramid and thirty structures, it was extraordinary,” said young Gadoury. William has named the lost city K’ÀAK ‘CHI’ or ‘fire mouth’ in French. “I did not understand why the Maya built their cities away from rivers, on marginal lands and in the mountains, said William. “They had to have another reason, and as they worshiped the stars, the idea came to me to verify my hypothesis. I was really surprised and excited when I realized that the most brilliant stars of the constellations matched the largest Maya cities.”
