My AI agents found an unmapped Maya site?

Brief overview

Intelligent agents such as Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok discovered an officially unrecorded Mayan site in Mexico by analyzing NASA LiDAR data, completing the entire process from inspiration to government formal reply in less than 72 hours. The site is located on a mountain top in the jungle, containing structures such as plazas, pyramids, and courtyards. The agents identified and submitted reports to the National Institute of Anthropology and History of Mexico (INAH), which confirmed that the location had not been registered (later verified that the site had been mapped by anthropologists).
