Beneath the flowing waters of the Amazon, there lies another “river” of sorts. It’s a deep, slow-moving subterranean flow called the Hamza River. This underground river, discovered through the analysis of wells drilled by the Brazilian oil company Petrobras, runs parallel to the Amazon River at a depth of nearly 4,000 meters.
