ArchaeoEd S3E6 The Olmecs

[@miguelfuentes6956]

Hello Ed. I recently subscribed to your podcast. I'm writing a novel inspired by Mesoamerica and Indigenous American cultures, and the insights from your work and these podcasts, combined with the literature I'm studying, are pure gold in helping me portray these communities authentically and justly in my story. Please keep recording!

Love this podcast. Thanks for doing this. I recently went to the Dallas Museum of Art and they had an Olmec section. It was fascinating.

Amazing Podcast

[@jerryandnancywertzbaugher7778]

On a trip to Chiapas a few years ago we visited Palenque, Tikal (for the second time) and then Viallahermosa to see Olmec heads. We went on further through Mexico on that trip culminating at the Archeological Museum in Mexico City. I can't full describe how fantastic it is to re-live that trip (and others to the Andes and Chiclayo) through your Great Courses and now Podcast.😘

Cool! Great podcast. That structure they found Tabasco was almost a mile long and a quarter mile wide? They had some very big ideas, which explains the big heads. Wow!

[@leepeel7129]

A zesty new intro! Muy bien. I'm excited, I like the enigmatic elder culture and their were-jaguar babies!

[@archaeoedpodcast]

Maya. Maya culture. Maya people. Mayan languages.

Colossal head bobber 😂 I’m so done.

[@rudytexas6825]

Did they ever accept Jesus as lord and savior who died for their sins?

[@cynthiawalker7888]

I hate to tell you, but they are before Christianity.

[@esaedvik]

I sure hope not.
