Check it out, another blast from CH team.
Let me initially say this is not my first book by Captivating History and I am happy once again with book as well. What an education about the Olmec’s. Different proof of their history with different ideas of Olmec trading with different parts of the world. Concepts of where they came from.

Its real, its interesting and it motivating.
I am regularly shocked at how much information captivating history team can pack into one book! Time and time again, it's another fine book to contemplate ancient mysteries that are annotated over in other publications.

Lost cities are cool to visit.
I give Captivating History team a big thumbs up for they are essentially a team who goes into the field. They have been around the world and I’m sure have come to conclusions that many less versed and traveled men have not. There books are always fun reads and their lost cities are always cool.

Interesting facts about old civilization.
Interesting book about a very old civilization known as major ancient civilization in Mexico. I have read other books on the Olmecs. I am not a historian but love it, archaeologist but have traveled the area and saw some of those imposing heads.

It is the theory, presented in a great way.
The Captivating History team, definitely supports the diffusionist theory vs the isolationist, and so do I. He makes comparisons of the writing script of the Major Ancient Civilization in Mexico and brings out many similarities. This book is one of the most well illustrated with many Olmecs images in Guatemala never seen before. I enjoy this audible very much.

Thanks to the Captivating History Team.
A book of its class, the book that I really enjoyed listening to. I used this in combination with my College class. There is a ton of information in this book that I found very intriguing.

Very glad someone is willing to tell truth!
Captivating History team who represents the other extreme books of explanation of history. Clearly the Olmecs represented a multicultural society and clearly the Olmecs sites in Tabasco where partly destroyed of so called US-archaeologists in the 40’s and 50’s. For more details google it ;) .
