40 ton massive basalt heads transported from over 100 miles away through dense jungle mountains with ropes & logs? Something doesn't add up... In this episode, we investigate the mysterious origins of one of Mesoamerica's earliest civilizations, their colossal 40-ton stone heads transported across astonishing distances, intricately carved jade masks, enigmatic were-jaguar figures, ancient calendar knowledge, unusual understanding of magnetism, and curious depictions of elongated skulls. How did the Olmecs accomplish such extraordinary feats thousands of years ago, what secrets might their artifacts reveal, and could there be more to their forgotten history than we currently understand?
