AI Uncovers 5,000-Year-Old Lost Civilization Hidden Beneath Sahara Desert

With the aid of artificial intelligence (AI), archaeologists have discovered a 5,000-year-old lost civilisation, complete with historic buildings and trade networks, buried beneath the largest desert in the world.

Time has obscured so much of ancient history that we have yet to discover, but new technological advancements have made it possible for scientists and archaeologists to access previously unreachable information.

Natural phenomena like global warming might occasionally uncover hidden woods, and some fortunate people may unintentionally discover artefacts from old Mayan cities or even “lost cities” at the ocean’s bottom that would make anyone think of Atlantis.

With the help of artificial intelligence and a technology known as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), researchers have discovered a remarkable lost civilisation that dates back more than 5,000 years, according to IDR. Technology has also been instrumental in uncovering hidden and lost megacities throughout the world.

Under the direction of Maria Gonzalez, this research investigated the desert of Dubai, locating signs of human habitation in the remains of long-distance trade routes and villages.

In just a few hours, SAR technology can “scan” millions of square kilometres, comparing the data to pre-existing archaeological sites to identify minute variations in the terrain.

This not only saves time but also money because it is quite expensive to send experts into the field, but these new inventions can forecast previously concealed spots that would be very hard for humans to identify on their own.

Furthermore, in addition to identifying potential locations for ancient civilisations and human migration, the AI and SAR combo can also imagine what towns and multi-thousand-year-old living would have looked like.

This information’s sourcing also contradicts earlier theories that suggested minimal migration and connectivity across the neighbouring locations, marking a significant advancement in related study.

The data has allowed archaeologists to connect caravan routes that probably carried rich commodities like metals, textiles, and incense between Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and the Levant.

It was only through the use of machine learning artificial intelligence that archaeologists were able to identify trade routes like this, which were probably in operation for thousands of years before going extinct. This is especially true given how quickly they have been discovered.
