The author has travelled around the world several times over, but
finds one of the most fascinating mysteries of history very close
to home - the Olmec culture of ancient Mexico. The Olmecs were not
acknowledged to have existed until an international archaeological
meeting in Mexico City in 1942. Now they are slowly being
recognised as the mother culture of Mesoamerica having developed
metallurgy, writing and the calendar long before the Maya. The
statuary left behind by these enigmatic people very clearly depict
features that seem to indicate residents of the Land of Olman came
from Africa, Asia and Europe. Was the narrow isthmus of southern
Mexico an important part of a trade route that spanned both the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans? Examine the evidence in this
fascinating book by one of the most interesting historians around.
You might learn more than you wanted to know about these strange
people who populated the old New World.
