Who Were the Olmecs? New Discoveries Put the Spotlight on Some Very Ancient People.

BY DAVID H. CHILDRESS

In January of 2007, it was announced that the ruins of a lost city had
been discovered in the Valley of Mexico, just 25 miles south of Mexico
City. Dubbed Zazacatla, the city was found near Xochitepec by Mexican
archaeologist Giselle Canto. The ruins, it was said, had been left by the
Olmecs—the strange and ancient culture believed to be the mother culture of Central America. Reports at the time, however, expressed surprise that this “new” Olmec city was not on the Gulf Coast, where most previous Olmec sites had been located, but was instead hundreds of miles inland.
Once again, the contradictions of the Olmecs were confounding and confusing conventional archaeology.

The oldest, and possibly greatest enigma of early Mexico and North
America is that of the Olmecs. Olmecs are now often referred to as Proto-Mayans by academic archaeologists, or Olcans, meaning inhabitants of Olcan, the “Olmec Land” as it is now being called.
