They look like so many men in the south of Mexico. They're still around, they're not hard to miss.

[hevnervals]

This can be easily settled through genetic tests. Moreover, natives in Mexico do often have thick lips and wider noses.

[derasa]

Natives of Peru, Guatemala and Mexico have same features .

[Michael-yncv]

Polynesians in South America makes sense. Their abilities as seafarers was incredible so for their artifacts to be found anywhere bordering the Pacific wouldn't be out of the question

[ericmacias]

I’m American Mexican, and that statue looks like some of my Tio’s and cousins on my Dads side from Matamoros Mexico….big lips, wide noses and really dark brown skin.

Turns out people have been loving head for a long time

[sorgism]

Africa’s coast at SW Senegal to NE Brazil’s coast is 1600 miles.

[mattilatvala]

Many of their descendants look EXACTLY like these giant stone heads. No african mystery here.

[Guigui_]

There are Olmecs in The Mysterious Cities of Gold, a Japan-French anime series, which is really nice! Olmecs are bad guys in the anime.

I've always respected Graham's work and his dispassionate view of facts or archeological findings...he always seemed to be non-racist but even he, as a Brit, seems to find it difficult to say African...bkz it's obvious that Polynesian peoples are derived from Africa also....

[gabrielg.]

Australoid influence that was brought by the Polynesian natives ( south west asian origin) a mix of mongoloid and australoid, that's why a lot modern day latinos are dark skinned with thick lips and round nose all this features could be found in modern day south eastern Asians

[Kleedje]

It looks like a "Kang" variant

[immasoxfanbaby]

Not native American but we all came from the Olmec people. Ur on to something here

[komolkovathana]

Ancient Boat people already sailed alot around the continents, long long before the Portuguese or famous Spanish. But they didn't have their Names recorded, only those gigantic stone carvings !!

[jaxonvega]

The Olmec's, in modern day, are the people we know as Filipino's from Philippines.

[timtemple]

This is back when the Paracas were living. The asteroids had not caused humans to kill them.

[Howlingbrown]

Make me think Mexico's history has been forgotten and even erased because of their contribution to the old world. When the library was burned the world was reset and mist history re written, but no doubt ancient Mexico was as important as egypt

[roycegriffiths]

The Jaredites- the olmecs? I'd like to think so. Fascination history is pretty much unknown or buried here in the America's

[stmiso]

Kinda looks like the comic book character kang the conqueror

[ziyaan.subhaan.rahman.amiyah]

If you watch any of this guys vids, he’s theorising that African’s can have built or done what they have done, there must be another explanation.
