Lost Cities author Childress takes us deep into Mexico and Central America in search of the mysterious Olmecs, North America’s early, advanced civilization. The Olmecs, now sometimes called Proto-Mayans, were not acknowledged to have existed as a civilization until an international archeological meeting in Mexico City in 1942. Now, the Olmecs are slowly being recognized as the Mother Culture of Mesoamerica, having invented writing, the ball game and the “Mayan” Calendar. But who were the Olmecs? Where did they come from? What happened to them? How sophisticated was their culture? How far back in time did it go? Why are many Olmec statues and figurines seemingly of foreign peoples such as Africans, Europeans and Chinese? Is there a link with Atlantis? In this heavily illustrated book, join Childress in search of the lost cities of the Olmecs! Chapters include: The Mystery of the Origin of the Olmecs; The Mystery of the Olmec Destruction; The Mystery of Quizuo; The Mystery of Transoceanic Trade; The Mystery of Cranial Deformation; The Mystery of Olmec Writing; more. Heavily illustrated, includes a color photo section.

Many ancient civilizations are described as mysterious, but few offer as many puzzles and unanswered questions as the Olmecs. Arriving in lands near the Gulf of Mexico around 1500 BCE, they introduced new ideas in engineering, agriculture, and religion—yet their origins remain unknown. Just as suddenly as they appeared, they vanished around 400 BCE, leaving behind no written records but a legacy that shaped nearly every Mesoamerican culture that followed. Inside, you’ll explore: Origins The Olmec Enigma The Fall of San Lorenzo Were-Jaguars and Feathered Serpents The Rise of La Venta The Disappearance of the Olmecs And much more! Scholars continue to debate the nature of the Olmecs—were they indigenous innovators or arrivals from distant lands? Some argue they were one of many early cultures, while others call them the "mother culture" of Mesoamerica. Less than a century ago, their very existence was still questioned. This concise guide tells the story of the Olmecs through their unique legacy and mysterious artifacts. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply curious about one of the world’s most enigmatic civilizations, this book offers an accessible and thought-provoking introduction.

The Olmecs are renowned for their massive carved stone heads and other sculptures, the first stone monuments produced in Mesoamerica. Seven decades of archaeological research have given us many insights into the lives of the Olmecs, who inhabited parts of the modern Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco from around 1150 to 400 BC. Beginning with the first modern explorations in the 1920s, the story of how generations of archaeologists and local residents have uncovered the Olmec past and pieced together a portrait of an ancient civilization that left no written records unfolds. From stories of fortuitous discoveries and frustrating disappoints, helpful collaborations and deceitful shenanigans emerges the unconventional history of Olmec archeology.

Olmec Civilization explores the fascinating world of the Olmecs, often called Mesoamerica's ""mother culture."" This book investigates their society, art, and the environmental influences impacting their trajectory. Uncover how innovations like early writing systems and monumental sculpture, exemplified by the colossal heads, influenced later civilizations such as the Maya and Aztecs. The book uniquely positions the Olmecs not just as predecessors but as a complex, influential society. The book progresses by first detailing the Olmecs' settlements along the Gulf Coast, then analyzing their social hierarchies through archaeological findings and art. It further examines their artistic and technological achievements, including sophisticated jade work. The book then considers potential factors of decline, such as environmental changes and internal conflicts. Archaeological findings from sites like San Lorenzo and La Venta are central to understanding this ancient civilization's social stratification and political organization. This study integrates archaeological data with insights from art history and anthropology, offering a balanced view of the Olmecs' accomplishments and limitations. Aimed at a broad audience, the book provides an accessible exploration of world history, tailored to those interested in the origins of complex societies and pre-Columbian history.

According to ancient records, the patriarchs and founders of the early civilizations in Egypt, India, China, Peru, Mesopotamia, Britain, and the Americas were colonized by the Serpents of Wisdom-spiritual masters associated with the serpent-who arrived in these lands after abandoning their beloved homelands and crossing great seas. While bearing names denoting snake or dragon (such as Naga, Lung, Djedhi, Amaru, Quetzalcoatl, Adder, etc.), these Serpents of Wisdom oversaw the construction of magnificent civilizations within which they and their descendants served as the priest kings and as the enlightened heads of mystery school traditions. The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom recounts the history of these “Serpents”-where they came from, why they came, the secret wisdom they disseminated, and why they are returning now.

Yearning for her former life as an archaeologist, Australian librarian Dr. Elizabeth Pimms is struggling with a job she doesn't want, a family she both loves and resents, and enforced separation from her boyfriend. A royal Olmec cemetery is discovered deep in the Mexican jungle, containing the earliest writing in all the Americas. Dr. Pimms is elated to join the team investigating these Aztec ancestors. Triumph is short-lived, however, as Elizabeth's position on the team is threatened by a volatile excavation director, contradictory evidence, and hostile colleagues.Amidst seventeen concealed skeletons, an evolving mental library, and Welsh soup, can Dr.Pimms determine cause of death for a 3,000-year-old athlete before being fired? With the archaeological intrigue of Elizabeth Peters, forensic insight of Kathy Reichs, and comfort of a cosy mystery, Olmec Obituary is the first novel in a fascinating new series: DrPimms, Intermillennial Sleuth.
