What have some archeologist was true after studying the stone sculptures of the Olmec civilization

Specialists came to the conclusion that the finished monuments represented realistically the portraits of the different Olmec governors as for example the first ruler of culture.

The Olmec Culture was the civilization that developed in the area of the Gulf of Mexico. Archaeologists studied the giant stone sculptures of the Olmec civilization. The Colossal Heads Olmecs have been protagonists of these studies.

The majority of the heads date from the beginning of the Preclassic Period (1500-1000 BC) and some from the Middle Preclassic Period (1000-400 BC). The smallest specimens weigh around 6 tons, while the largest is estimated to weigh 40 to 50 tons, although it was left unfinished near the source of its stone.

The features of these faces share characters with African-American features. Hypotheses have been launched, later rejected, suggesting some interoceanic contacts in ancient times.
