What does that site look like at the fall equinox? And just imagine the work that went into this, to make this piece do that.

This is my dream trip to see all these sites and their pyramids.

[paulroberts]

The Nazca line people sold extreme precision and ground planning as a trade, Nazca sun path lines are precise.

Climbed that pyramid back in the 80's. Very cool experience.

Again, there's the purse or handle bag as in the Sumerian tablets

They look like old football helmets from the 1920's.😎

Dr. Irven Van Setima the historian from Caribbean Island explained this further and has provided great contents about the Olmec, these content is there and accessible in American Black History Studies

The Helmets Were Worn In A Game They Played, A Sport That Was Like A Mixture Of Soccer And Basketball

Feathered serpent, you all remember the never ending story, that thing?

[yomammaisaskank]

The statutes of the faces were of real people who played the ball game at palenque. They were famous players. Heroes of sorts. Like athletes today. The olmec version is older, but that's who those dudes were.

[TheHSoko]

The feathered serpent is also in Japanese mythology.

[GustavoSilva-co]

there are many tribes in the amazon jungle that talk about this spiritual feathered snake

[williambenner]

This just the tip of the iceberg. For this "Plumed Serpent " god was said to have a son, born of a virgin. Where have we heard this story before?

[shirleyallen]

Helmets probably protected in war. Those were soldier protector stones? Maybe marked tribal boundaries

[george]

Gold will be reworked by whoever finds it

[PaulSmith-do]

Those head gear were just protection n, against a machete hit.

[erikd]

Why do we seem smarter back then than we do now 🤔

[fredpeace]

Those stone heads look more Pacific Islander than Latino.

[detectivemarkseven]

I always thought Quezatcoatl? is a thunder bird god .

[KneeYoDahJuan-zt]

isnt there a connection between the feathered serpent and the original name the native americans gave to the land here?
