Olmec Civilization Remains An Intriguing Ancient Puzzle


At the time, the Spaniards arrived, the Olmec civilization, had already emerged and disappeared. Even today, much of the Olmec history is shrouded in mystery.

It is believed that this remarkable civilization existed between 1200 BC – 400 BC.

This is merely an intuition from observing the photo of the very large, round Olmec Head in a magazine. My intuition was that these were Negroid people who survived the previous civilization to the one we know about. The name OL equals OLD and MECH equals MECHANIC.

Living in the Caribbean, I have observed that young men, poorly read and educated, despite that fact, seem to have a keen mechanical gift. Perhaps this is an important clue to people of the pre-flood era.

Olmec civilisation well

I know only a little okay Olmec was a precivilisation a world wide civilisation that fell well I read a book that said summerian was found to be a living language in the Amazon jungle where it is dead in Iraq.

Civilisation fall

Alien invasion life consumes life so they got eaten
Climate change starvation where mini ice age caused collapse of civilisation
Super volcano eruption famine biblical
Super solar flare , earthquakes , floods ,
Invasion by a neighbour kingdom killed people lots .

—> Etymology. The name 'Olmec' comes from the Nahuatl word for the Olmecs: Ōlmēcatl (singular) or Ōlmēcah (plural). This word is composed of the two words ōlli, meaning "rubber", and mēcatl, meaning "people", so the word means "rubber people".

Rubber people, eh? So I guess they must have actually looked like this:

I think that is a very accurate etymology Bill

Historically, the mesoamericans had mastered "rubber making" - https://phys.org/news/2010-05-mesoamerican-people-rubber-years.html according to numerous historical analysis.

"Mesoamerican people perfected details of rubber processing more than 3,000 years ago"


it has long been known that the Aztecs, Olmecs and Maya — the civilizations that, over a span of more than three millennia, dominated the region that is now Mexico and parts of Central America — were adept at making rubber, and that the material was used to produce the large, heavy balls used for the ceremonial games played on stone-walled ball courts. A few such balls have been found in archeological digs in the region — the oldest dating back to 1600 B.C., or more than 3,000 years before Goodyear’s contributions — and though they have become hard and brittle with age, their nature is unmistakable. “They were really spectacular, really enormous,” Hosler says of the Mesoamerican rubber balls, which ranged in size from a few inches to a foot across — the size of a beach ball.

The beachball size corresponds to a skull or severed head, which I seem to recall the ball was made with. Certainly, it is portrayed in this way in the glyphs, and according to John Major Jenkins, (Maya Cosmogenesis 2012) it symbolized a decapitated deity, notably the solar deity, and its movements represented those of the sun. Jenkins also says it ‘can be traced back to the Olmec motif of the cleft head and represent the birthplace of maize and the Maize Deity. Importantly the ballgame victory was as much about the Maize Deity’s rebirth as it was about the sun’s rebirth; both represent life and life’. The cleft motif he adds refers to the dark rift in the galactic centre, hence the link to the notion oc cosmic alignment.

Interestingly I discovered only an hour or two ago that a modern Maize Deity seems to have moved to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: see here (http://www.voltairenet.org/article195196.html#nh4). :)
