He wants to see himself out of it. It's the same thing as Marcus Aurelius' son. Why am I forgetting his name? The really bad emperor. God, I can't remember his name. But anyways, he wanted to be seen like Hercules fighting in the Colosseum. And, um, so we think this might be a kind of similar thing. There's a whole different type of people that are existing in the Olmec realm.

Um, we can look up, uh, uh, Olmec where Jaguar, please, Jamie. Um, thank you. And, um, There's a whole different type of person. So here's one image. If you keep scrolling, you'll see images that are carved into... So this is a little bit of a better image right here.

But sometimes when they're carved into jade and you can see the light reflecting off of it, you get a better image of what these things really look like. So where Jaguar, Olmec, and maybe do jade. Oh yeah, there we go. Top right. Yeah, check that guy out. So that's a human. That's not an animal. It is a human who has turned into the essence of a jaguar.

And we see this everywhere, all over the Olmec world. But they're never the colossal heads. They're always in jade or they're smaller Olmec monuments. And sometimes the heads are maimed, like the head is just completely destroyed. And there's these jaguar claws that are carved into an Olmec face, like tearing apart its face, tearing apart the symbol that's on the top of their head.

And so a lot of people have wondered, like, why are these scratch marks in all of these Olmec monuments? But all the scratch marks only appear in Olmec monuments that are not the were jaguar. And so what I think – this is a little bit of research that I'm doing, and I'm writing a book on the Olmecs right now – is what I think is there's a feud between the rulers and the shamanic class.

And I think that these were jaguar people, these people who are taking some kind of hallucinogen, taking a psychedelic, and basically imbuing the essence of a jaguar in some strange, crazy way that we can't explain, these are feuding with each other. And when I'm in – And I'm in these museums where you have these mushroom stone effigies that are all lined up. I'll ask a local archaeologist there.

I'll be like, so these mushrooms, do you think that these depict hallucinogens that they may have been taking to get high? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No. I'm like, really? You look at all the crazy shit that ancient Americans are making. If you look at ancient American artwork anywhere, you can tell it's all mind-bending stuff to look at. Clearly, I think they're being influenced by plants.

Now, this were-jaguar isn't just isolated to the Olmec world. It also pops up at a place called Chavin de Huantar. Have you ever heard of this? No. This is in the Andes. It's one of the oldest cities in the Andes. So before Chavin... We can follow the DNA evidence of burials.
