▶ Your Answer : In the reading passage, there is ample support for the author's claim that there are numerable evidences Amazon rain forests was never a big and advanced civilization. However, the professor in the lecture gives several reasons as a rebuttal to the author's point. First, the professor contends that, in spite of the compact jungle, the satellite imageries demonstrate that there are ancient canals which can be an evidence of the possibility of communications between regions. This evidence shows that the highly evolved society could have been formed. This casts doubt on the reading passage's claim that the development of a large civilization is hindered by the existence of dense jungle of the Amazon rainforest since it prevent them from communicating.
Next, the professor insists that since a significant amount of beautiful ceramic vessels and funeral earns were found in the Marajo Island, it can reveal the fact that there was a society with intricate technology. This counters the reading passage's assertion that artifacts of these areas are so simple and lack sophistications that advanced civilization would not have been existed.
Finally, the professor argues that as Amazon rain forests are far-reached, many of the region are unexplored. This vast region is easy to be obscured by the dense jungle. Also, the professor mentioned the Angkor Wat, which was covered entirely by the jungle and was explored by the French expedition lately. This refutes the reading passage's suggestion that there were only scattered tribes in primitive settlements, and no large civilization might have been developed.
