Tungkol sa ebook na ito

Many ancient civilizations are described as mysterious, but few offer as many puzzles and unanswered questions as the Olmecs. Arriving in lands near the Gulf of Mexico around 1500 BCE, they introduced new ideas in engineering, agriculture, and religion—yet their origins remain unknown. Just as suddenly as they appeared, they vanished around 400 BCE, leaving behind no written records but a legacy that shaped nearly every Mesoamerican culture that followed.


Inside, you’ll explore:

Origins

The Olmec Enigma

The Fall of San Lorenzo

Were-Jaguars and Feathered Serpents

The Rise of La Venta

The Disappearance of the Olmecs

And much more!


Scholars continue to debate the nature of the Olmecs—were they indigenous innovators or arrivals from distant lands? Some argue they were one of many early cultures, while others call them the "mother culture" of Mesoamerica. Less than a century ago, their very existence was still questioned.

This concise guide tells the story of the Olmecs through their unique legacy and mysterious artifacts. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply curious about one of the world’s most enigmatic civilizations, this book offers an accessible and thought-provoking introduction.
