During this time, you have these Spanish chroniclers that are taking in information, taking in information but not at the rate that everything's being destroyed. All these people are dying from this disease and influenza. And there's a record of what the people who lived in the Olmec region are called at that time in 1520, let's say.

And the Aztecs called them the Olmecs in their language Nahuatl. And those Olmec โ the name means the rubber people or the people of the land of rubber. They produced rubber, and that's how the Olmecs were so rich so early on in time. But these were not โ the people living in 1519 are not the Olmecs.

There has already โ the Olmecs have fallen, and there are other cultures that have risen and fallen in this same region as well. The Olmecs are far, far, far, far into the distant past. Wow. The Aztecs maybe didn't even know who the Olmecs were. Whoa. So are you familiar with Teotihuacan? Yeah.

The three massive โ we have the Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Moon, and then the Temple of Quetzalcoatl. And they formed this kind of like Orion's Belt alignment similar to Giza. Yeah. Well, you know, when the Aztecs arrived in Mexico, Teotihuacan had been abandoned for almost a thousand years, we think. So when they arrived, Teotihuacan is already gone.

We don't even know the name of Teotihuacan. We don't know the name of the people. We don't know the name of the city. We know their relationship with other people around them, like the Maya were at war with Teotihuacan, but the civilization had already fallen. So when the Aztecs arrived, the Olmecs had been gone for, Almost 2,000 years at least. The Olmecs had already been gone.

So kind of getting back to what I was saying is when I talk about the mysteries of the Americas, I immediately get accosted by other of my quote-unquote colleagues. I don't have any colleagues in the academic realm, but other academics who will immediately jump in my comment section on X or whatever, and they'll reprimand me, and they'll be like, oh, so back to the pseudo-archaeology, is it?
