Olmec Heads Part 1

The Olmec civilization in Mexico sculpted massive stone heads 3000 years ago — 500 years before Rome was founded. These statues weighed up to 40 tonnes and were made from stone that came from the Tuxtla mountains more than 160 kilometres away. The journey would have taken the Olmecs across great rivers and virtually impassable swamps. How did they manage that?

  • The olmec were natives of south america (of the mongaloid race NOT african.) The south american people should be proud of their history.

  • Wow, so I just watched Blockcom's "Blonde Mummies White Civilizations in Peru" video. Is this guy serious anymore? I mean, is he for real? Is he on a mission to just shoot down every claim being presented. Or is he actually looking at both sides of the coin.

  • They were ball players...see the crease on top of the nose where the nose was mashed like a boxers nose. Alsos they have on ball helmets.

  • Looks black to me

  • Olmecs were not black. They had mongoloide shape heads.

  • So if the olmecs were black, where they go? Or wouldnt they have left decendants?

    This is despicable! People Please dont try to steal others history.

  • @Mystery072 They have dreadsand they are clearly without a doubt negroid. Ivan Van Sertimer has the pics in his boof they came before Colombus check them out. I definately come in peace and im not trying to start an argument by defending black people but there history has beeen torn apart on purpose.

  • The Olmecs were negroid if, ever notice how you never see a side pic of the heads thats because they have dreads!!!!! and to eurocivilization White people were created six thousand years ago by the great scientist Yakub, which is why your bible starts six thousand years ago. Your people were living i hte caves of the caucas mountains and Moses saved you and shaved your fur off thats why you guys caught leprosy and thats were the disease came from.

  • I think Mexicans have a right to be angry when American Blacks who cannot even tell you from which country their ancestors came from, start saying that the Olmecs were Negroes. We are aware that there is no love lost between Blacks and Mexicans in the US and such unfounded claims are bound to cause greater friction

  • the volcano may have erupted ever thought of that?
