When you imagine all those conversations that Greek and Roman politicians must have been having with each other when both their lives
lives are on the line politically, same thing's happening in the Olmec world.
It's just we don't have a record of it.
But must have been, you know, these aren't primitive people to be able to erect.
So those megalithic heads come from 100 kilometers as the bird flies.
Or as the crow flies away.
And they have to be transported, they think, possibly through the Gulf Coast a little bit, down into the Coetskalkos River, over swamps and down through valleys and stuff.
And they've never been able to figure out how big the boats had to be to transport them.
There was this nautical engineer that worked with Maya Exploration Center, which is the center that I'm a part of.
And he created this algorithm thing where you could put in the hypothetical size of your Olmec head and the hypothetical size of the raft that it would be sitting on.
And if you put in the hypothetical size of, say...
If you created a raft that was too long to be able to go down the narrow stretches of the river that they would be moving these heads down, and you put a five-ton head on that raft, it would flip the raft and sink it.
But the smallest head is six tons and the largest head is 50 tons.
Yeah, so it's just, you have, yes, 50.
And so you have all these mysteries that are so similar to Egypt, but most people don't talk about it or know anything about it.
You never hear anything about the old ones.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, and, and some of the main ones are, are, I think, um, I think they're about three.
Yeah.
