Description
This sculpture is ascribed to the Pre-Olmec Monte Alto Culture, and some scholars suggest the Olmec Culture originated in this area of the Pacific Lowlands. It is likely the Monte Alto Culture was the first complex culture of Mesoamerica, and predecessor of all other cultures of the region.
Studies show that this head has magnetic properties which suggests that Pre-Olmec civilizations (4000 years ago) were extremely progressive; the earliest evidence of experiments with magnetics comes from China and only dates back 2000 years ago.
