For many years, researchers from the Dakila Ecosystem have carried out extraordinary expeditions in the Amazon and other regions of Brazil, unraveling historical and natural mysteries that intrigue humanity.

Research was resumed with intensity in 2022, where advanced technologies such as LiDAR and GPR were used to map a specific region of the Amazon. The investigations have revealed fascinating discoveries.

First Steps: The Age of Discovery
The expeditions began in 2022, with the pioneering overflight of the Amazon rainforest and the mapping of the enigmatic "Quadras de Apiacás" or "Quadras de Ratanabá," mysterious rectilinear structures, in addition to elongated non-human skulls.

New Discoveries in 2023
The year 2023 brought even more surprises. In the Courts de Apiacás, a sinkhole and evidence of ramps were identified. During these investigations, the "Voz das Etnias" project was born, which offers a space for indigenous peoples to express their needs and collaborate in social and economic advancements.

In August, the team found an impressive rock panel in the Amazon, considered the largest ever recorded. The panel, which measured 9 meters long and 3.5 meters high and consisted of symbols and geometric shapes in low and high relief, was discovered next to a set of nearby galleries.

At the end of August and beginning of November, an associate identified, in São José de Ararapira, a Canudal partially submerged due to the tide, which may be connected to the old Caminho de Peabiru and the lost city of Ratanabá.

In Paraná, the team used their technologies to locate underground tunnels and analyzed preserved sections of the Peabiru Trail on the Itupava Trail.

Social Missions and Technological Innovations
In late 2023, researchers found recent tracks of a giant animal in the Amazon region, specifically in Jacareacanga, Pará. Local reports indicated that the animal, possibly the size of a dinosaur, would dive into the river and disappear. In February 2024, the team installed cameras to capture it, but thefts and local discontent suspended the research.

Furthermore, in the same year (2024) in Rondônia, Dakila participated in an indigenous assembly of the Gaviões ethnic group, continuing the Voz das Etnias project that began in 2023.

Heading to the Peabiru Trail
In April 2024, the team explored points along the Peabiru Trail in Tijuca Park, in Rio de Janeiro, and continued to Rio das Ostras and Cachoeiras de Macacu, where they identified rock reliefs and established partnerships with local authorities to promote historical tourism.

In May, in Florianópolis, they found stone walls typical of the Caminho de Peabiru.

Also that month, amid the floods that devastated Rio Grande do Sul, Dakila carried out solidarity actions, providing food, water, and hygiene products to the affected communities. This unexpected action marked the union between research and social assistance.

In Recanto de Peabiru, in São Paulo, the team signed a partnership with the Department of Tourism in June to revitalize and remap the Caminho de Peabiru in the state.

In November, the expedition was marked by unusual phenomena in Santa Catarina, such as magnetic anomalies that affected equipment and intrigued researchers. In the Campos do Quiriri region, they identified an unusual rectilinear alignment of rocks.

The Year of Promise
To close 2024, Dakila held activities at its headquarters, Recanto de Havalon and Zigurats, with lectures, tasks, and interviews. The year 2025 began with energy, and researchers are ready to continue unraveling archaeological and scientific mysteries.
