Another Mystery of Mesoamerica: The Enigma of the Olmecs
Evidence points to the Olmecs as the first emerging civilization of Mesoamerica, not the Maya. The discovery remains a quiet one--but should be getting as much attention as the discovery of Troy. Who's been keeping it quiet and why? Once more, an ancient culture emerges seemingly intact--with little evidence of early development. Where did the Olmecs come from? The find is wrought, still with controversy.
