When you look at the monument, it says anywhere from 1400 B.C. to 400 B.C. That's just what they think. I mean, the Olmec realm is so uncertain, and we don't have hard dates for almost anything. They appear on this historical timeline as a fully-fledged civilization capable of creating what you're seeing from the very beginning.

Just like so many civilizations, it's like as soon as they arrive, you know, As soon as they arrive in the world, they're doing everything to the fullest capacity. And we don't have any evidence in the Olmec realm of them working their way towards being able to do things like this. It's just from the very beginning they're able to make monuments like this, move these 50-ton Olmec heads.

The largest head is – you'll find this interesting. So – There was a nautical engineer that MEC, which is an organization I'm with. It's the Maya Exploration Center. It's run by Dr. Ed Barnhart. I'm a member of it. And one of the guys that worked with us traveled into the Olmec realm. He's a nautical engineer. He's fascinated with...

He's fascinated with how were the Olmecs moving these huge heads up and down these rivers. So they live in, like, the rivers, swamps. They have to cross some mountain ranges. How are you getting these heads 90 miles away from the Sierra de la Tuxla volcanic belt? That's where they're pulling the basalt from. Because we found unfinished heads, like, at the base of these big basalt quarries.

And they're transporting them 90 kilometers away through, you know, like I was saying, rivers and valleys. 90 miles or kilometers? Yeah. I think it's kilometers. It's kilometers as the crow flies, I'm pretty sure. And so much further when you're actually dealing with the complications of the terrain. And so he was fascinated, like, okay, how do they get them to the river?

And then how do they get them on the boat? And when it's on the boat, how exactly does this work if they're transporting it by boat? And kind of the same mystery in Egypt too, right? Like how do the nuances of these things work?

So he devised this algorithm or whatever where you could put in the hypothetical size of your Olmec raft and put in the hypothetical size of an Olmec head into this database or whatever. And when you made a raft that was too big to go down the narrow stretches of the Coetzcalcos River, which is like the Olmec's Nile River…
