  • An estimated 90 percent of human Amazonian history is lost within the jungle itself. A new discovery has uncovered a small-but-substantial piece of that history.
  • Using LIDAR, archeologists uncovered a settlement in eastern Ecuador rivaling the complexity of ancient civilizations found in Mexico and Central America.
  • Although little is known about the people who lived there, the society flourished from 500 BCE until somewhere between 300 and 600 CE—and its population might’ve reached into the 100,00o range at its height.

LATE last year, we ran a story concerning the 'lost city' of Lembah Bujang and we received a fair amount of comments disputing it being the oldest and largest “lost city” in the country. The name that kept being brought up was Kota Gelanggi, a legendary lost city deep in the jungles of Johor, somewhere in a forest reserve near the Liggui Dam. To set the record straight, we're taking a dive into the subject, to see if there is any historicity in the claim that Kota Gelanggi exists. Is it true that the lost city of Kota Gelanggi exists?

According to some sources, the city of Kota Gelanggi was part of the Thai Nakhon Si Tammarat Kingdom (13th century to 1782) and was one of its 12th “Naksat city” - which was a chain of 12 interlinked cities that surrounded and protected the capital of Nakhon Si Thammarat.

In fact, some claim that “Gelanggi” is a mispronunciation of the Thai word Ghlong-Keow or "Box of Emeralds".

However, some scholars say that while the city might have been one of the Naksat cities, Kota Gelanggi itself predates it and is actually from the Gangga Negara era (2nd century to 1025/26) and was raided by the South Indian Chola dynasty conqueror, Rajendra Chola I.

In the study of history as an academic discipline, a primary source is an artefact, document, diary or any other piece of evidence that can be tied directly to the subject being studied.

In the case of Kota Gelanggi, this would be a letter written by an ancient merchant while he was actually in the city or if we were to find the city itself, that would be classified as a primary source itself.

Secondary sources are usually documents or recordings that discuss primary sources. They involve generalisation, interpretation, analysis or evaluation of primary sources. These sources could be written hundreds of years after the event and are usually not contemporaneous with it. In Kota Gelanggi's case, its mention in the 17th century Malay literary work Sejarah Melayu would be considered a secondary source.
This article would be considered a tertiary source as it is

In fact, the only evidence we have so far of the city's existence are from secondary sources, such as the aforementioned Sejarah Melayu, and the folk histories of the Orang Asli living in the area.

In fact throughout the years the Orang Asli living in the area have insisted the city did exist and have offered to take explorers there numerous times.

Sir Richard Olaf Winstedt, a colonial administrator, was reported to have said that the Orang Asli in the area were more than willing to take people to the site in the late 1920s.

In the present day, Orang Asli elders from the Lingui Dam area have confirmed its existence and even say they have seen the city first hand.

However, the area is apparently considered pantang (taboo) by the Orang Asli as they say it is full of vengeful spirits and tigers.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidar

Lidar (/ˈlaɪdɑːr/, also LIDAR, LiDAR or LADAR, an acronym of "light detection and ranging"[1] or "laser imaging, detection, and ranging"[2]) is a method for determining ranges by targeting an object or a surface with a laser and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver. Lidar may operate in a fixed direction (e.g., vertical) or it may scan multiple directions, in which case it is known as lidar scanning or 3D laser scanning, a special combination of 3-D scanning and laser scanning.[3] Lidar has terrestrial, airborne, and mobile applications.[4][5

Lidar is commonly used to make high-resolution maps, with applications in surveying, geodesy, geomatics, archaeology, geography, geology, geomorphology, seismology, forestry, atmospheric physics,[6] laser guidance, airborne laser swathe mapping (ALSM), and laser altimetry. It is used to make digital 3-D representations of areas on the Earth's surface and ocean bottom of the intertidal and near coastal zone by varying the wavelength of light. It has also been increasingly used in control and navigation for autonomous cars[7] and for the helicopter Ingenuity on its record-setting flights over the terrain of Mars.[8]

The evolution of quantum technology has given rise to the emergence of Quantum LiDAR, demonstrating higher efficiency and sensitivity when compared to conventional LiDAR systems.[9]

Lembah bujang is a Hindu city and it's not lost. You can see remnants of it North of Penang in Sungei petani neglected and wasting away.
No interest in maintaining it by either feds or state gomen
