Awesome video, I’m surprised there are still scholars who still believe that the Olmec culture doesn’t have a mezzo American origin, it seems like an antiquated colonial concept too me
Glad you enjoyed the video, and yeah, I agree with you on that. It's sad to see people supposedly dedicated to education and science to keep disproven proposals alive as if they were proven facts, denying any scientific evidence out of their personal beliefs and agendas. Afrocentrics, Sinocentrics and Eurocentrics need to disappear from academia, but we still have a long way to go before we can leave all those biases behind for good. PD: It's written "Mesoamerican" :)
Very interesting how the "Olmec" becomes so much deeper as you dig in, I really hope to get back to the Museo Nacional de Antropologia as I've learned so much from the first time I was there, a lot through Michael D Coe. I also have Miguel Covarrubias's book The Eagle, The Jaguar, and the Serpent. It makes a good case of Pacific diffusion through artistic motifs, maybe going both ways.
Here's my like good man, you deserve it 😉😉😉 La verdad se necesita más canales de este tipo, ilustrativos de la historia sobre la tierra que nos vio nacer ☺️☺️☺️
En efecto. Este canal esta dedicado a toda América y bueno, hay muchos eventos e historias que necesitan ser contados; y es para eso que cree este canal ;) Espero sigas disfrutando de mi trabajo en el futuro. ¡Saludos!
The content in this video is so important. I find it alarming that anti-scientific conspiracies and ideas are trafficked online, so I'm so happy that your video gives all of the evidence needed to show that the achievements of ancient Mexican peoples belong to Mexico--nobody else. 😊✊🏻
I learnt so much about Olmec civilisation and it's findings in one of your videos. Wow. great job. Btw have you seen the "lost kingdoms of the central america"... "kingdom of the jaguars". What did you think about it's historical accuracy?
Glad you enjoyed the video. It really took a lot of research to make :) I watched that documentary some time ago, and generally speaking I think it's fairly good, but if I'm not mistaken it treats the Tenocelome as a political monolith, something more akin to an empire; and that's a model that has been largely abandoned by academics. Our understanding of the Tenocelome has improved a lot in these last years, so models and theories can change in a very short time as new evidence is analized by researchers; so who knows how much are we gonna learn about them in the foreseeable future.
Do you know what the giant serpent artefact at 3:50 is called? I know the rest but I have to admit, I never saw this serpent before. It reminds me more of Father Set from Conan than any religious artefact that I have associated with the Mesoamerican religions. I am almost certain this was a very early draft of what we refer to now as Quetzalcoatl but I have to defer to the expert :D
Oh, I'm just a hardcore history buff. I wouldn't call myself an expert 😅 That being said, that's a drawing from an exposition held in London in the 1820's, and it seems the showmaster running it ordered plenty of props to be made for the event, which he passed for authentic "Mexican" artifacts. Greetings
Somewhat related, but what is your opinion on the Totozoquean hypothesis (including Chitimacha)? Also, where were the (proto-)Totonac located during the Early Formative Period?
I've barely read on that subject to be honest; but I find that theory quite fascinanting. If true, it would revolutionize our understanding of the pre-Columbian societies of North America, but we still need more studies and evidence before accepting or discarding it :)
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 So yucca came before corn makes sense.🌽🍠 Would be nice to hear all the pseudohistorical migration and peopling models throughout time such as the phoenicians colonizing the Americas.
The Tenocelome are a very interesting part of Mesoamerican history, yet they haven't received the attention they deserve in my humble opinion. Hope you keep enjoying my work. Greetings!
My home town in southern California (Covina) is "sister cities" with a town in Oaxaca, and they sent us a full size reproduction of their local "Olmec head" as part of a gift-exchange... When I was kid, he was displayed in front of the police station, (although they might have moved it since), so I thought he was a statue of some sort of Mexican cop, like the guy on CHiPs 🙄🤣🇺🇲❤️🇲🇽!

Wow, I never realized there were so many "Olmec" peoples... Thanks for the disambiguation and the further discussion of this ancient civilization.
It was my pleasure. Glad you liked the video!
Olmecs deserve much more attention then they get now
I couldn't agree more
omg ikr there so cool people need to see the cooles about this
Glad to hear Miguel Covarrubias mentioned.
I greatly admire how he put his artistic talent to work to serve archeology and anthropology ...
Wow, knowledge improuved a lot by the last time (late '90) i feed about mesoamerica. Great work!
Indeed, and lot's of new discoveries are being made! :)
Glad you enjoyed the video!

Glad you enjoyed the video Tim
great video, i learned from it. But...could you make your sign smaller, or last less long so we can see ALL the picture?
Ok, I'll try to do that :)
I learned a lot of stuff from this video . Keep it up :)

¡Genial!
Me alegre que os guste el vídeo. ¡Saludos!
Can I ask what song you use at the very end of the video?
Sorry. I honestly don't remember the name of the song. I look for music every time I make a video and I never keep the track hehehe

Just to clarify Covina's Mexican sister city is actually Xalapa, which is Veracruz, not Oaxaca.
