Garden of Doom E.219 Olmecs
from Garden of Thought · host Jeff Lippman
They are said to have come from nowhere with a fully formed society, only to have disappeared into nowhere. They are the Atlantis of North America. The Egypt or Sumeria. They are mysterious, revered, and 100% confirmed as real. They are the Olmecs. The so called "Mother Culture" of Mezoamerica. Our friend, Robert Bitto, re-enters the Garden and separates fact from legend, what we know from what we don't, and what is with the giant head sculptures. This is no legend of the temple. But we do discuss legends and probably a temple or several.
