'Simply astonishing': Experts just found a massive lost civilisation hiding in the Amazon


A civilisation that may have once numbered up to 3 million people has been uncovered beneath the Amazon rainforest's dense canopy, according to a new study.

Researchers used LIDAR − a technology that fires pulses of laser light through gaps in the forest canopy to map the ground below − to survey more than 4,400km of the southwestern Amazon Basin. The findings were published in Nature.

Archaeologists now believe the Aquiry civilisation, which lived in the region from roughly 600BCE to 850CE, may have been around three times larger than previously expected. At its peak, their society may have numbered 1.25 −3 million people.

The survey uncovered thousands of geometric patterns built into the Earth, known as geoglyphs, which take various shapes including circles and squares and appear to be connected by straight roads or pathways.

"The scale and precision of these constructions are simply astonishing," lead author and University of Helsinki archaeologist, Prof Martti Pärssinen, told BBC Science Focus.

"Based on LiDAR surveys covering 4,500 km², we estimate that the entire 183,000 km² Aquiry region may contain approximately 24,000 to 30,000 earthworks linked by hundreds of roads, revealing a scale of landscape modification previously unimaginable for this part of Amazonia."

Before LIDAR technology was able to peek through the trees, experts could only investigate deforested areas of the Amazon − fuelling a mistaken belief that only the rainforest's sparser regions had been settled by humans, and not its denser parts.

"These findings suggest that many other regions across Amazonia may likewise have been far more densely populated and intensively modified than previously assumed, challenging the long-standing view of the rainforest as a largely untouched wilderness," Pärssinen said.

The next phase of the project is to use the same laser technology to identify tree species that early societies domesticated − such as those bearing nuts or fruit, and which continue to grow in the region today.

"We will then investigate how their distribution relates to different ecosystems, as well as to the locations of earthworks and ancient road networks," Pärssinen said. "Simply put, one cannot help but wonder: what else remains hidden beneath the forest canopy?"

The world cup debutants determined to prove nothing is impossible



    When the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off on June 11 in Mexico City, it will set in motion a flurry of historic firsts.

    A newly expanded 48-team tournament, three countries: the US, Canada and Mexico as hosts and we’ll also get to see four debutants in the shape of Curaçao, Jordan, Uzbekistan and Cape Verde.

    It was in October of last year that Cape Verde, the African archipelago nation — with a population of just over half a million people — qualified for its first ever World Cup after beating Eswatini 3-0 to become the third-smallest country after Curaçao and Iceland eight years ago to make it through to football’s biggest stage.

    It was a feat made even more impressive by the fact the Blue Sharks ended up four points ahead of traditional continental powerhouse Cameroon, topping their Confederation of African Football qualifying group in the process.

    It’s no wonder the team’s head coach Pedro Leitão Brito — better known as Bubista — was beaming with pride when he dropped by the CNN studios in Atlanta recently as part of a visit to Mercedes-Benz stadium, where Cape Verde will begin their World Cup campaign on June 15 against the 2010 winners and reigning European champions, Spain.

    “We are so excited. I think the people are so excited and we’re going to do our best for our people,” Bubista — a distinguished former captain and defender on the national team — told CNN Sports.

    Bubista oversaw a truly history-making qualifying campaign. A sequence of results that included a highly impressive five straight wins, the highlight of which featured a never-to-be-forgotten 1-0 triumph over the Cameroonians in September 2025.

    But it’s October 13, 2025, that will be indelibly etched into the memory of all who witnessed Cape Verde’s historic win against Eswatini. A victory that would spark frenzied celebrations of joy in the country’s capital city Praia.

    “Our people are so excited and so happy. Our people in the world, it’s just so great for our qualification and now our people are so grateful for everything,” Bubista added.

    Cape Verde may be about to play in a first ever World Cup, but the national team is no stranger to success when it comes to competing in the Africa Cup of Nations having reached the quarterfinals in 2013 and then again, a decade later. Bubista oversaw the latter campaign but now the head coach’s focus is fully on his team’s tournament opener against Spain.

    “We know it’s a very difficult match … They have very good players. We will respect them but anything is possible. We’re going to do our best to show the world what we can do in football,” Bubista reflected.

    “We know it’s a hard game, but we have our heart and team spirit and this is important for us. Our unity is our strength,” he added.

    The Blue Sharks will arrive in the US with a talented squad including Villarreal’s Logan Costa, Paris Saint-Germain 18-year-old Fabio Domingos and 36-year-old Ryan Mendes, who is the country’s most-capped player — with more than 90 appearances for the national team — and is Cape Verde’s all-time leading goalscorer.

    And then there’s the remarkable story of the Shamrock Rovers forward Roberto “Pico” Lopes who was born in Ireland, but when it comes to international football, represents Cape Verde, currently ranked 69th in the world. 

    Lopes had always wanted to play for Ireland but when that didn’t materialize, he ended up playing for his father’shomeland after famously being recruited through a LinkedIn message from then-team head coach Rui Águas. Initially Lopes ignored the first message sent in Portuguese as spam but not the second one sent a few months later in English.

In Brazil, four in ten teenagers face school bullying


In Brazil, four out of ten students aged 13 to 17 say they have already been victims of bullying, and 27.2 percent in this age group have suffered some form of humiliation two or more times.

The data, released this week, are based on testimonies collected in 2024 in schools across Brazil by the Brazilian government’s statistics agency IBGE as part of the National School Health Survey (PeNSE).

Compared to the previous survey, conducted in 2019, there was a 0.7 percentage point increase in the total number of students who reported having suffered bullying. The proportion of students who experienced it at least twice rose by more than 4 percentage points, Marco Andreazzi, the research manager, emphasized.

“Bullying is already characterized as something persistent, intermittent… And here we observe an upward trend, indicating that more students have begun to experience repeated situations of violence,” Andreazzi said.

The researcher stressed that “the number of those who suffer bullying remains practically the same; however, the persistence and intensity of the episodes have increased.”

Appearance, race, gender

Bullied students told researchers that their facial features or hair were the main targets of bullying, accounting for 30.2 percent of cases.

Next is body appearance, accounting for 24.7 percent, followed by bullying related to color or race, reported by 10.6 percent.

“There is also a high percentage - 26.3 percent - of students who say the bullying had no reason. That is, many of those who suffer do not know why, and this is natural, since bullying occurs collectively and the victim does not necessarily perceive a reason for it. On the contrary, they feel completely wronged,” the research manager noted.

The research found that girls are the most affected - 43.3 percent have experienced bullying, compared to 37.3 percent of boys.

Furthermore, 30.1 percent of female adolescent students reported feeling humiliated by teasing from classmates two or more times. This proportion is nearly 6 percentage points higher than among male students.

Profile of the aggressors

Data on those who commit bullying show an inverse pattern: 13.7 percent of students reported having engaged in some form of violence - 16.5 percent of boys and 10.9 percent of girls.

IBGE also asked about the reasons for the aggression, and once again, facial features, hair, body type, and skin color or race were the most frequently cited.

However, some significant differences emerged in relation to victims’ reports. For example, 12.1 percent of perpetrators said they engaged in bullying because of their classmates’ gender or sexual orientation, while only 6.4 percent of victims identified this as a motive for the violence.

A similar pattern emerged regarding disability: while 7.6 percent of perpetrators acknowledged engaging in bullying for this reason, only 2.6 percent of victims associated the attacks with this characteristic.

For researchers, this may indicate that many victims prefer to remain silent about the circumstances for fear of being stigmatized.

Emotions inspire transformation: delving into EFL teachers’ emotions and professional identities


Emotions in education have attracted significant attention over the past few years, particularly in language teaching and learning. Emotions are not just fleeting states but also play a crucial role in classroom dynamics, influencing both student achievements and the quality of teaching. In particular, they are instrumental in influencing teachers’ professional identity, image, affective commitment level, and even classroom performance because the emotional experiences of teachers are deep, complex, and intertwined with their very professional identity. Teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) typically intensifies the emotional complexity. Subsequent research has extended beyond the understanding of emotions as solely psychological phenomena, and emotions are now also understood as sociocultural and political constructs. Viewed this way, teaching can be seen as emotional labor: an ongoing demand to demonstrate and regulate emotions in a way that aligns with professional norms but may lead to burnout and disillusionment if no coping mechanisms are provided. The challenges faced by teachers have led to an increased call for support to help them identify, process, and respond to emotions. This notion supports conscious emotional work, and as it is no longer viewed solely as remedial practice, it is a critical first step in developing coherent and resilient professional identities. The relationship between teacher emotions and identity is not a linear one; they are in constant and dynamic interplay with one another. As emotional experiences fluctuate, whether through student interactions, collegial relationships, or institutionalized approaches and policies, the teacher’s capacity to develop in a sense of professional identity also changes.

Brazil

Brazil is a leader in entrepreneurship*, with an estimated one in eight adults being “entrepreneurs.” Much of the business that occurs in Brazil is done by single businesspeople either selling their homemade goods or providing their services. Foreign entrepreneurship is a bit of a rarity in Brazil. It is simple for a local businessperson to open a business by, in most cases, circumventing the typical red tape* associated with starting a business. The regulatory boards are so poorly managed and so open to bribes* that local entrepreneurs can easily sneak by without following proper procedure. For foreign businesspeople it is much more difficult. Foreigners draw attention to themselves (by merely being foreigners) and therefore fall prey to greater scrutiny. It is imperative for the foreign businessperson to hire a good “despachante” or broker to handle their interactions with government officials.

In the sentence “Foreign entrepreneurship is a bit of a rarity in Brazil,” the use of the expression “a bit of a” serves to soften the meaning of “rarity,” implying that foreign entrepreneurship is uncommon, though not entirely absent.

Text: (Excerpt about sugar consumption and health implications)

        Sugar has never been considered a health food, but lately, the science against it keeps growing stronger. New evidence shows going overboard on the sweet stuff can lead to high cholesterol and blood pressure […] not to mention excess weight gain.

        Problem is most people are eating more sugar now than they ever have. The average person consumes about 20 teaspoons of added sugar a day — 300 calories worth! — which is four times more than the amount recommended by most health experts, including the American Heart Association. Annually, all those teaspoons add up to 170 pounds of sugar.

        So why are we so addicted to sugar? First off, it is literally addicting. When you eat something sweet, you get a surge of dopamine, the chemical in your brain that brings you pleasure. Added sugar is also tough to dodge. Sweetener hides in foods that don’t even taste sugary, like breads, sauces and condiments. What’s more, it’s so hard to decipher the difference between added sugars and the kinds found naturally in whole foods. Eating naturally occurring sugars — like fructose in fruit and lactose in dairy — is generally considered healthy because they contain nutrients with metabolic benefits, such as fiber and antioxidants. Added sugars (sweeteners put into food for flavor) have no such perks. […]

The phrase “not to mention excess weight gain” introduces a contrastive element that minimizes the previous health risks related to sugar, functioning rhetorically to downplay its consequences.

    It blames them for worsening mental health and behavioral disorders including anxiety, depression, disordered eating and cyberbullying; making it more difficult to educate students; and forcing schools to take steps such as hiring additional mental health professionals, developing lesson plans about the effects of social media, and providing additional training to teachers.
    "Defendants have successfully exploited the vulnerable brains of youth, hooking tens of millions of students across the country into positive feedback loops of excessive use and abuse of Defendants' social media platforms," the complaint said. "Worse, the content Defendants curate and direct to youth is too often harmful and exploitive ...."
    Meta, Google, Snap and TikTok did not immediately respond to requests for comment Saturday.
  While federal law — Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act — helps protect online companies from liability arising from what third-party users post on their platforms, the lawsuit argues that provision does not protect the tech giants' behavior in this case.
    "Plaintiff is not alleging Defendants are liable for what third-parties have said on Defendants' platforms but, rather, for Defendants' own conduct," the lawsuit said. "Defendants affirmatively recommend and promote harmful content to youth, such as pro-anorexia and eating disorder content."
    The lawsuit says that from 2009 to 2019, there was on average a 30% increase in the number of Seattle Public Schools students who reported feeling "so sad or hopeless almost every day for two weeks or more in a row" that they stopped doing some typical activities.
    The school district is asking the court to order the companies to stop creating the public nuisance, to award damages, and to pay for prevention education and treatment for excessive and problematic use of social media.
    While hundreds of families are pursuing lawsuits against the companies over harms they allege their children have suffered from social media, it's not clear if any other school districts have filed a complaint like Seattle's.
   Internal studies revealed by Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen in 2021 showed that the company knew that Instagram negatively affected teenagers by harming their body image and making eating disorders and thoughts of suicide worse. She alleged that the platform prioritized profits over safety and hid its own research from investors and the public.
