The Olmec Civilization: An Enthralling Overview of the History of the Olmecs, Starting from Agriculture in Mesoamerica to the Fall of La Venta

Which came first – the Olmecs or the Mayan? The Olmecs or the Incans? Walk with us among Colossal Heads and some of the first pyramids in Mesoamerica – yes! Pyramids across the world from Giza and Egypt! Come join us on the journey to discover just where this amazing culture began and ended – and why we are still studying the Olmecs today.

Historians and scholars still battle over the origins of – and reasons for– some of Mesoamerica’s formative civilizations downturn. How could such unique, innovative, and thriving societies fall without certain evidence of the causes? And what might the Mayans or Incans have to do with the Olmecs' rise and fall?

This audiobook takes listeners on a journey that few have taken, deep into archaeological sites, artifacts, and the many theories surrounding the Olmecs and their history, so shrouded in mystery. As you listen, you’ll learn:

●      Why their placement in Mesoamerica’s history is so important

●      Why a rock overhang was so crucial to their survival

●      How the Olmecs domesticated - - yes, corn!

●      Why and how they moved from hunter-gatherer to farming

●      The importance of a rock to their society (Well, not just any rock!)

●      Adzes – What they were and how they helped trade

You’ll learn some fun facts – but will also be challenged with archaeologically-puzzling discoveries and learn about some fascinating finds. The “Forgotten Civilization” lays claim to some fantastic people who forged the way for modern-day Mexico to become the rich and historically diverse culture it is today!
