Yeah, yeah, yeah. There we go. There we go. So if you pull up an Olmec head, you'll see that these guys are very different looking, and especially if you can get – yeah, yeah, there we go. Look at – okay, so that's a regular Olmec head. So you can see that these are two different races of people. You know, the Olmecs have very soft features, round faces, big eyes, big lips, kind of big noses.
They have very soft features. And this El Negro monument has these high cheekbones, this defined jawline.
Well, the only counter I give to that is when you when you visit the Olmec realm, you see a lot more than just the heads. You see a lot of Olmec faces, dozens and dozens and dozens of them, maybe well over 100. And when you've seen them all and you kind of get a gist of like the way they generally look, this guy will really stand out.
Like I took a group of students there and we all as soon as we all came in and saw it based on everything we'd been seeing for the past week, it immediately stood out to us.
And that hair as well. It's kind of that curly hair, or at least it looks like it to me. And so anyways, he could be Olmec. My identity is not tied up in what I think this is or is not.
It certainly does look that way. But I was on a plane to Mexico a couple months ago, and I was going into the Olmec realm. And I was like, I wanted to take a picture of this guy. I'm looking to the left of me. And he was an Olmec man sitting next to me. And he was he was you know, he looked like he didn't look like any Mexican I've ever seen.
There's something there with the DNA of the Olmec people that is definitely connected with something else that that you don't see if you go to the Maya realm that you don't see if you go to like Mexico City. They have something in their DNA. They have this very specific look about them. I don't know exactly what it is, but I'm like looking and I'm like this Olmec guy next to me.
So fascinating because it clearly could have been African explorers that made it. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what. Could we look up – gosh, look up the Traveler Olmec Monument if you would please, Jamie. It's the traveler. I want to call him... I think he's Monument 13. There's another one called Monument 19 that we should look at. But he's this man that's very clearly not... There we go.
Top left, the one that's on Reddit. In fact, this might be my post on Reddit. Yes, yes, sir. So this guy right here. All right. So this is really, really fascinating. So let's diagnose this. All right. So flags. Flags are invented. This is a very unknown fact.
Flags are invented, or the first place that we have evidence for it is along the Nile Valley on these pre-dynastic pots, which they're not the stone vases, but just like clay pottery. They would make little paintings on them. And people have these riverboats that have these flags on them, and the flags would say what city you had come from or what village you had come from.
And so flags are an old world thing. We don't have any evidence of flags in the new world. All right. He's also wearing a turban. He's got this big turban that's draping off the back of his head. And he very clearly has this distinct beard that's popping out. Now, Native Americans, sometimes they're Asiatic. They have Asian DNA. And Asians don't really grow typically.
Sometimes they'll grow the little stash and a little bit of a beard here, but they don't have that. big, thick beard that you would see, you know, like in Europe or along the Mediterranean in the Middle East. And so this guy has this big, thick beard and then he's got boots on his feet as well. And we think that these are these glyphs that you see to his left and right.
And these are really, really early Olmec glyphs. And they interpret that foot to the left as saying that he came from somewhere. He was a traveler. And so this The thought here is – so this is around 900 BC, give or take, a little bit. They don't really – they really have no idea when these are made. Like you go to all the monuments and it says made somewhere between 1500 BC and 400 BC.
They'll say 1500 BC and 400 BC. And so they really are uncertain about how old a lot of these monuments are.
But if we shoot for dead center 900 BC, the Phoenicians out of the Mediterranean are launching these sailing expeditions around the coast of Africa. These are the ancient world's greatest sailors that we know of. And so there were like experimental archaeological or scientific, I don't know, expeditions done that show if you would send one of these early Iron Age boats or if you send any ship –
out of the gates of Hercules or the Strait of Gibraltar, and you send it out into the Atlantic, and it drifts just a little bit too far without turning south along the African coast, it will be carried by a current across the Atlantic Ocean down into the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and straight into the Gulf of Mexico.
And if that had happened, if people who had looked like they're in the old world like this guy, if that had happened, Somebody from the Old World, the largest civilization at the time, the empire in this area would have been the Olmecs. And the reason I feel so strongly about that is because we do not have flags, turbans, or boots in the ancient Americas.
This guy looks nothing like a Native American. And the flag, turban, and boots are all Old World features.
It's this raised relief art style. So people talk about it a lot with Gobekli Tepe. I mean, think about this. This is 11,600 years ago, and you have artisans and stonemasons who have been practicing for so long that now they're able to take a blank piece of stone and carve the face off to reveal the artwork from underneath it.
Not carve the artwork into the stone, but carve the stone away and reveal this sculpture from underneath. Yeah. How similar does that look? It's bizarre, right? Real similar. And so it's the exact same kind of art style that you see in the Olmec realm.
