A 15th Century settlement that eventually grew into a city with around 10,000 inhabitants has been rediscovered in South Africa.
Although the site has been known about for a long time, and thought to just contain a few scattered settlements, LiDar has actually shown that it was once a relatively large city that covered an area 8 square miles (20 sq km).
