Photographs taken at Museum of Anthropology, Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico in 2006
The Olmec Culture is thought to be the most ancient in Mexico, appearing around 1,600 B.C. It was one of the most influential ancient civilizations of the early Americas, and though its dominance of the region faded in the last centuries before the Common Era, the Olmec civilization is commonly thought to be the “mother culture” of many other cultures that appeared in the region later. I lived briefly on the shores of Lake Catemaco, Veracruz, the heartland of the Olmec culture, where many of the heads were found.
