When I first went to Mexico to Teothihuacan, I always assumed it was built by the Aztecs. When someone told me "To the Aztecs these were already ruins from a millennia before they arrived" I was like "Who built them?" and they were like "Nobody really knows" I was floored and have been fascinated with the Olmecs ever since. Mindblowing part of the world we live in
Teotihuacan was a large city state built nahua/nahuatl speaking people many meso Americans visited it was basically new York city with ethnic neighborhoods but it lasted for a short time it is believed deforestation and drought lead to its decline "teotihuacan" is a nahuatl/nahua word named by the Aztecs
It was built by the so called Toltecs who were believed to be the OTOMI . ,The the crazy part is near Teotiuacan , where more Toltec ruins were found, there were ruins with design similar to that of the Teotihucan ruins. Now the place was called TULA , heres where it gets crazy.. near MOSCOW - not Florida.. Moscow RUSSIA. There is a town called TULA that was left aboneded too (its now growing tho). But its earliest metnion dates back to the Khanghat dates but even then it was known as an ancient Russian town. But nobody in Russia knows what TULA means. Then there are towns in Russia called SOCHI сочи referring to fields and pastors, in Nahautl , Xochtili< SO CHEE > means flower. Then there is also CHAPULTEPEC which means raiders hill in Turkish, in nahautl it means Grasshoper hill , however Grasshoppers in Nahuatl are also synonom for Raider too. THe reason why i mention Nahautl is because the Nahautls weren't from Mexico City, they are belived to be from Utah or Colorado. When the Nahuatl arrived to Mexico City, it was already inhabited by the Otomi. Nahautl language was influenced by the Otomi and Mixtec. If the Otomis were the Toltecs then this would explain why Nahautl and Otomi have these Sanksrit-Russian words. After years of linguistic research I can confirm that Sanksrit influenced Russian and Sankrit is also present in the Native Mexican langauges such as Mixtec . .. Ainu Japanese also has some similarities too. Also the fact that YENESIANS of Russia had 90% of Haplogroup Q. Haplogroup Q is exclusive gene to North America. There is also the DENE CAUCASIAN theory that backs this up too.
@@cachifli870 Toltecs weren't Nahua. are you talking about the Salvadorian Nahuas?.. Gtfoh. Toltecs were releated to the Otomi and probably influenced the Huastecs and the Mixtecs. One theory is that the Huastecs were Mayan from Yucatan. But Mexican-Nahuatls are from Utah and are a Dene and Uto Aztecan. The Tlingit of BC canada talk like Aztlan Nahuatls. They use the TL sound a lot , this isn't found in any of the Nahuas vocabulary other than influence from Aztec expansion in 1400s and its not found in other Uto Aztecans and Otomis .. its only found ith the Dene Tlingit. The Tlingit also used the MAQUITL too.
@@chibiromano5631 ok this is fascinating. A few years ago I met someone who was doing a language research project, and the Dene language grouping can be heard from the Arctic down through the western states through Mexico as far as Panama. The same language also is heard in relation to some eastern European groups and Russia. The word Aztec is connected to a term from "white lands where the cranes fly". That could be either the white sands of southwest USA or far north. Thanks for this information!
@@cachifli870 Wait are you Cholulan? They are the same Nahuatls as the Mexica , they all came from Aztlan. It was Azcopoztalco , Tlaxcala, Cholula, Mexica, Texcoco etc. that came to Anahuac around 1300s. But you are saying there were Nahuatls/nahuas in Puebla before Cholulans and Tlaxcalans? Mexica Nahautl only seems different because the one written is Classical Nahuatl but Classical Nahautl was written by Catholic converts..They latanized that languge like crazy and added -O and -A to suffixes and also added -TEOTL to our langauge to mean god, the TEO part is actually greek meaning God , THEO. So Classical Nahautl is highly tampered with. We don't use the word God in nahautl and otomi and hnathu.. The closest we get to it is Spirit , but its similar to the Japanese concept of Kami or similar to 'THE FORCE' in star wars , as in Vibes,Karma and energies that surround us from the earth and are in us. I think you guys in Tlaxcala have a story in this in POPOCATEPL. He becomes a Mountain with his fiance, and hence why that Volcano looks like a sleeping person. Shinto also has stories like this. the original Nahuatl that the Mexica spoke sounded much different. It sounded like Tlingit.
The beauty of Joe's show is that it's a pure conversation. Much like when Two people meet at an event with mutual friends and someone is interested in another's field of expertise. He asks good questions, listens intently to the answers, and if he has knowledge of the subject does not try to show off. Second best podcaster I have ever listened to.
This topic is truly amazing and one I feel I have a personal connection to because both my parents are from Veracruz (where the Olmec heads were found) and my mom would tell me stories of how when she was a kid her and her siblings would run around in my grandpa’s prairie and find what she said were green masks, stone spinning tops, and other doll like artifacts, that they would play with and take home. She described really odd stone human sculptures that were doll size and I didn’t question it at all for the longest time until I came across this video and wondered more about Olmec artifacts and went and did some searching of my own only to find a jade Olmec mask on the metropolitan museum of art website. This reminded me of the story my mom had told me so I showed her the picture and to my surprise she recognized the mask and said it looked just like the one she had found as a kid. I decided to keep looking through the museums gallery so I could show her other artifacts and she pointed out a another standing Olmec sculpture that she had said was very similar to another they had found. After hearing all of this and connecting the dots I’ll be going back to my grandpa’s prairie to see what I can find since the whereabouts of the older artifacts they had found as kids 30+ years ago are unknown.
@@misaelcruz1663there are far older archeological sites found in North America, like Cactus Hill Archaeological Site, some scholars believe these people migrated down to meso America (the Aztec origin story is from current day Utah area)
These short clips are so much easier to digest and understand. I’d rather watch a few of these than the full podcast, but I understand these can’t exist without the other.
I'm mexican, Olmecs are a very underrated civilization and its society, science and culture is magnificent they were astrologist genius very advanced, its disappearance is a true mistery.
Most likely where wiped by another people or integrated with others when they where weakest. At least thats what happens to most cultures when they collapse
I prefer the theory that Aztecs and Mayans were squatting on the ruins they were found on and weren't the actual creators because neither one of them could continue building structures in the same way and they couldn't read and understand their "own" writings. They moved in after the areas were abandoned by the original creators just like happened time and again in Egypt.
*I HAVE heard about the Olmecs because 90's Nickelodeon was awesome and you actually learmed things from 'Legends of The Hidden Temple' with a talking Olmec head* ❤
Actually they have been behind the scenes procreating; after many attempts at procreating a perfect specimen for the preservation of their race, Shaquille O' Neal was born. He has Shazamastic powers and is a grand master in Shaq-fu.
Classic White boy response when they cant provide an honest, source filled statement. This is very prevelent when historical data don't support Darwinist White Supermacy Propaganda. The Olmec didnt die out. Many of the decendants are modern day Carribeans, Jamicans etc. and aboriginal blacks of South and North America. Many mordern day so called African Americans which is term developed only about 50 +/- years ago. Ony 1 of 5 differnt names given to the Aborignal Blacks who were also the Gala of South Carolina, Chowtaw, Blackfoot, Lanape of NOrth East America and the Seminoles, just to name a few! Graham handcock is one of few who attempts to tell the truth among the historical academic types, however, he is still very reserved! Regarding the Helmetts. The Olmec helments are Malian Muur War head guards. The Olemcs are related to the DoGONS of West & South Africa. The Dogons were ancient PREIST OF EYGPT. There are mandee writting scripts found on Olmec mounuments which likse the people and history, EYGPT AND SOUTH & North America. Like the Eygptians, Olmec statues depict Lion Bodies with Human heads. In Addition. There are atleast 2 Olmec head Statues that I know of without the MALIAN MUUR WAR HELMET, AND the figure looks like WESLEY SNIPES in the MOVIE "BLADE"! BIG LIPS with a Box Fade Afro Hairstyle!. KEYWORD SEARCH: EL NEGRO OLMEC STATUE at TUXTECO museum.
I think the modern human has been around a lot longer than historians can confirm. I think we were travelling the world hundreds of thousands of years ago. Not is large sailing ships, but in large fleets of small vessels. During various ice ages, when sea levels were extremely low compared to today, there were probably thousands of islands in the oceans that just aren't there any more
Helmets could have been thick leather considering the time if they didn’t know how to work with ores, thick leather could still prevent stab wounds,or rocks would not damage the head as much, or it could be a royal symbol, kinda goes into whether the Olmec civ was more militant or status and government focused
I started watching JRE clips after he got away from just believing the conspiracy theory shit... so the older fans confuse the hell out of me -- seems like they're a fan of someone who no longer exists.
I went to school with a guy who was short, stocky, and his face was flat, with a broad nose and big lips. He told he was from mexico, not the big cities but some small isolated village but I don't recall the name, he looked just like the olmec head
I grew up in Southern Veracruz and there is Olmec heads all over that area. FYI the idea that southern mexicans don't have thick lips and wide nose is usually coming from people who have never lived or been to this area of Mexico. There are many people who look like this in the area I was born.
PoochMount18 Those Ancient civilizations of people of meso America were not white or black, they are not euro decent, they are not Afro decent for 1. For 2 all original natives people, are Asian decent. They were hunters and gathers that crossed a land bridge that connected Asia to the America’s thousands of years ago it was called “Bering land bridge” you can look into that and they migrated between those lands including the Caribbean islands, Hawaii, Pacific islands, established their own Civilizations and cultures. There are fully blooded indigenous people today, including In South America that look nothing of Afro decent, and they are keeping with their culture, so stop trying to falsely claim these people as something their not, these people already had everything stripped from them including their identity, so don’t try too further that and discredit their culture, history and people. Take a nice hard lookat the natives of Hawaii they looking nothing of Afro decent, these people been around for thousands of years, don’t mention any history of 1493 and on. If you wanna talk about European and African Ancestory In parts of Latin America and Caribbean, yeah it’s of colonization, cause natives were enslaved, colonized, raped, for centuries they had a forced culture on them for centuries a forced language on them for centuries, Africans were brought, they didn’t come here. look at the term mestizo race first generation born Hispanics and Latinos that been around for 500 years not thousands but they are most closely related to those natives. Mullatos and Afro Latinos are second generation, European and African ancestory was not present at any time before 1492, look at the Mexicans you see walking around today. They are mixed with those ancestors they didn’t come outta nowhere that’s there blood, why would they be brown skin? if most of them were mixed with black they would look like most Dominicans. So stop tryin to discredit other people and communities, these people already get overshadowed enough. Take in mind black Americans portray no African culture what so ever like none, so they would be the last people to even claim that native history and culture. I don’t know why ya act like those features are exclusive to people of Afro decent because they never was there are plenty of people with those features being Asian decent especially Polynesians, these people stemmed from Asia not Africa, and they line up perfectly with those statues.
@@quentincaraballo6459 ever consider sum history is misinformed .. an how about thinking we crossed into Asia , rather then crossing into turtle island. Mongolians for example, excellent horsemen, We would be wearing clothes if crossing over to here.
Wazillia H'eh Universe I don’t think it’s misinformed at all because these native indigenous communities all look of Asian decent es no argument these people look Asian they don’t look white they don’t black, Pacific Islanders all Asian, the America’s all Asian, Canada Asian, all of these natives are Asian, I don’t get why that’s so hard to understand anyways. Ya act like other people of communities aren’t capable of this history, this is not just a white and black world I”ll tell you that much, cause I notice es always these white and black Americans tryin to claim these people’s heritage, culture, history, and what exactly are those people doing to them? They minding they own business, and it’s unfortunate they keep getting discriminated and harassed like mf, these people are still getting killed for no reason, I don’t even know they living they 3rd world country conditions in the US and even in Canada that’s beyond me.
Jermaine Jimjam brain washed by Hollywood? Hollywood doesn’t even recognize indigenous native cultures and accustoms and they only a knowledgeable the ones in the US and they only brought up when cowboys are afflicting with them, for your information Mexicans were the first cowboys that’s there culture and a lot Mexicans are just Spanish speaking natives see these always been around. This is has nothing to do with Hollywood ya people really out here brain washed by this white and black systematic that is portrayed in the US pretty much the whole world so ofc people and communities like these constantly get overshadowed and discredited for everything, now like I said, ain’t nobody claiming these people’s history, ain’t nobody claiming these people’s heritage or culture period, that’s a period, we ain’t gonna have this today, that ain’t ya to claim that ain’t anyone’s to claim. I said what I said, and there nothing wrong with what I said cause I said very factual shi, and ain’t no body can tell me nothing about it, cause there’s nothing to argue about. I know what the Olmecs were, Aztecs, Mayans, Incas, they are Asian decent, they are brown people, bronze race, that’s what they went by. I can pull a bunch of pics of these everyday people aligning perfectly with those Olmec statues I can pull a bunch they look nothing for Afro decent, these people look straight Polynesian. This ain’t no argument. Ya really act like these big lips, noses, big heads are exclusive to black people? So since when do all black people have those features? Cause they don’t. Even that being said there ain’t no evidence or historical evidence, there ain’t no evidence today there ain’t no DNA evidence that these people are Afro decent, cause like I said these people are still around today, so how we gonna argue that if these people are still around today all around the America’s keeping up with these native cultures and traditions, even languages. How tf else would they be so educated about there own culture? Let me say it cause it is there culture. Ya people dumb ass hell.

@2:31 That strange bag “man bag”, that man Graham talks about could be the connected source of power that all of these of these powerful ancients (Olmecs, Mayans, Egyptians, Annunakis, etc.) had. Figure out what was in that bag and it could be one of the biggest breakthroughs towards knowing what source of power they had back then.

I think the 'bags' were containers of wisdom. Those who carried them brought with them knowledge which they could pass on. Knowledge has always been very powerful.
You must consider that bags and buckets are probably one of the most useful inventions to ancient man like the wheel. Nothing wrong with it just being a bag and bucket.
Leonardo Ruiz it is not pseudo archeology, you speak as if you know anything about what came before the Sumerian’s. He has been proven right by mainstream scientists regarding a large impact in the Greenland ice sheet, also he has help prove that the Clovis culture were in fact NOT the first civilisation in the North American basin. The amount of research he delves into and combines the dots is incredible. There is nothing pseudo about his work, he is merely connecting the dots in which mainstream archeological data has been made public and connecting the dots unlike everyone else as they are all specialists in one field or the other, he just does the hard job of connecting them all together. It’s funny because you’re on a podcast of him yet you don’t believe in his work nor what he stands for, why don’t you go watch Zahi Hawass and be completely safe in the fact that you’re being lied to and so much covered up just for their personal gains, fool.
It's the fact that our history wants to teach you mankind began around Africa when the fact is highly disputed in how America was originally founded coming from the Southern continent
I grew up in Veracruz where they excavated these Olmec heads, it was pretty amazing to live around so much history. They greatly influenced the coming indigenous groups, even the Aztecs.
They did not for crap. The Meshica/Chichimeca (what the german guy named "Aztecs") were the last group to arrive. And they were influenced by the TOLTECS. Stop making up BS
@@joserams2245 There is truth in your statement, but there is a significant different between influence and coming from- I said influenced! They didn't come from Olmec at least not directly. It is thought that the Aztecs came from the highland mountains (Sierra Madre) to form a great civilization in central Mexico. Prior to their arrival was Teotihuacan, which at that point was only a city that was empty and abandoned. I have visited all major sites in Mexico several times, (lived in Mexico for 13 years). Only major site i have yet to visit is Palenque, which I hope to visit soon. I did make it to Chiapas to study with the Maya though, I have great reverence for their heritage. Back to the Aztecs, they had a lot of influence from all parts of Mexico, although very different from both Maya and Olmec- Quetzalcoat - by the time the Aztecs came along it was more a tail of his return from ancient civilizations. The Aztec empire stretched all the way through Veracruz, as they gathered tribes - in the heart of the Olmec civilization that had previously existed. I lived right on the street that was built by Hernan Cortez to the Great Empire, stretching form the Port of Veracruz to Mexico City.
Exactly. Polynesians definitely have something to do with the indigenous people. In my state, the Natives in some tribes here are known for their boats and sea travels. The Native hawaiians look similar to the natives up here. However central and south american indigenous folk looks like cousins to the Polynesians. Obviously generations later through diet and environment tweaked the physical similarities, I have a feeling 100s of years of sea travel is what made polynesians so great at navigating and at some point in history had some connection to the Americas before dying down and eventually being cut off. Just a thought that runs through my mind. I'm micronesian and our people resemble a mix between papa new guineas and Malaysians.
Those people on the stone carvings with the thick lips are black people polynesians have no similarities to our people they just throw that in there not to hurt people feeling how does it go from early Africans to polynesians but when you look at the statue it looks like a black man all day

Do you have anything in this book about King Olmec from Nickelodeon? (Fun fact Dee Baker actually not only did the voice he also in the head on each episode operating it with levers because they didn’t have the budget to bother putting in motors.)
I grew up in the Teotihuacan pyramid area. I used to play outside all the time and you could find objects, obsidian stone shaped in different ways. As a child you don't know how important those can be, but it's always good to learn more about your own history, and preserve it.
That part about finding the "bags" being held by someone in cultures scattered all over the world is so intriguing, and he said it dates back over 12000 years? That's more than twice as long ago as Sumeria.. There's something very odd that happened to humanity all that time ago and I feel like we are so close to figuring it out.
Darksin negroe or Moor fighters were found with that same bag in the battle of tuyuti triple alliance of south America. The evidence is obvious the Moorish empire is being suppressed.
There would be an overwhelming amount of unpleasant behavior but to me that's part of it and I wouldn't mind. It would be really nice to learn what it was like
g w what’s the truth then ? These head tops were just found chilling along the grounds of earth ? That’s some kind of evidence of people at least. We have found dinosaurs ! It’s crazy to think them beasts were once roaming around the deep and vast forests of grid planet . Then a meteor wiped them out... dinosaurs were earths real Aliens , if something massive like that was once here millions years ago . I can’t even imagine to think what sorts of tiny or big creatures are across the million light years of different galaxies around us .
@Goatbe Bryant Right..He tells history for himself...And those aren't helmets they represent the stoppage of knowledge to the Olmec which caused the fall... Europeans rule today because they receive the knowledge to rule.. The source sends knowledge to the people he chooses for his purpose.. The Olmec knew that a new people was coming.. Of all the technology and science they had they left a heads with crowns as a sign.. Information comes into us not inward out.
FYI for the artifact called "bag" and its meaning: you will also find noumerous ridicularly detailed carvings and examples of these artifacts accross the Indian temples (and the most detailed carvings are in India) and in some of them the figure of babies or small human beings is present inside the bags. So, for short (we don't know how, but we speculate these bags worked like some sort of articial incubators), my best clue is that the "bag" means literally that these beings were bringing some of their offspring with them
I have a Facebook friend from India and in one of her posts she mentioned that the bag was a battery.🤔💭 so, now your statement is also very interesting 👍

The thing with the Olmecs and Sumerians holding the little bags and being civilization-bringers is an odd one. Similar thing shows up in Irish founding myths as well: the fir bolg (men of the bag), among the first mythical people to settle in Ireland . They brought good soil in the bags which helped civilization grow.
Not odd at all if you consider this in the context of the legend of the Tower of Babel, which resulted in the confusion of Languages & the dispersion of Tribes That's why all the gods from around the world have these same common features
The Olmecs were Thracian Field Workers taken in Zeus' Deluge by Cretan Vikingar. They were brought to America in 1100BC. The settlement was called 'The Pool of Hephaestus'. It was a portal to the Pacific Ocean, an ancient Panama Canal. It is part of the Greenlandr Sagas in Plato's Hermocrates Dialogue. Vikingar 1450-1100BC, Vikingr 1100-250BC, Berserkers 250BC-791AD, Vikings 793-1066AD.
If you didnt already know, this year was the first in recorded human history that the spoken work was more easily accessible than the written word. Amazing time to be alive yet still seemingly surrounded by stupidity.
The Olmecs became the people of the Netherlands. The Toltecs the people of the Baltic states. The Aztec and Incans fought the Mongols along the Volga River in Russia. The Berserker loss at the Battle of Uppsala Sound in 791AD changed America from a Viking property to a Templar property. The Vikings returning to Europe in 793AD in response to the conversion of the Uppsala Temple to Christianity was the start of the Viking Age.

MarvelousAll TheTime Has to be referring to them because I’ve never seen an so-called Mexican or native American with those features. It’s still people with those features today.
MySuperEmilio they’ve been mixed with slaves and Europeans for hundreds of years in the past South Americans would of looked more dark Asian which is much different than the Olmec statues
Let's just be honest there's no denying that blacks are the true indigenous worldwide are not asians or europeans the oldest of statues and paintings are of black people
If you google image "Olmec faces" you will see the Olemecs were clearly South American in blood/genetics. Their faces look identical to indigenous people in those regions today.
I'd guess they were medicine bags holding hallucinogenics for use in vision questing and healing. Perhaps the number one resource they could market in trade.
As a Pacific Islander, the more accepted view on Pacific Island settlement is that it originated from South East Asia. However, there have been theories and evidences of an Eastern pattern of migration originating from the Americas. i dont know why but i like to believe that some part of our history connects with these olmecs or other American civilization. Graham's challenge on mainstream history and archeology is sooo fascinating.
Indeed. One of the fascinating thing coming form my island village in West Papua is that, our ancestors have lived for centuries with corn staple even prior to European contacts. At first a thought that it was introduced by spanish or portuguese, but according tothe oral history of our earliest ancestors 54 generations back, suggest that they arrived on the islands with corns. 54 generations in my calculations of 4-5 generations each century would predate the first European contacts in the sixteenth century.
Respect to Mr. Hancock for saying “ I won’t claim 100% of them (Olmec heads) have helmets because I might of seen one without a helmet” because that protects everyone from presenting false facts as true facts.
@@gammon1183 You're unaware of the amount of speculation in actual history. The great pyramids are only associated with the Egyptians by proximity and by the fact we figured out a way they could have built them. The great pyramids are roughly believed to be the oldest and first pyramids built by the Egyptians as well as the best which has never happened before in the progression of human history "oldest and best". I mean, it's not even logical. It's just that we aren't aware of any other civilization residing there that was capable of building the pyramids. That absence of evidence isn't proof. Edit: Imagine being a civilization that kept records of almost everything aside from your greatest build ever.

And skeptiscism
When I first went to Mexico to Teothihuacan, I always assumed it was built by the Aztecs. When someone told me "To the Aztecs these were already ruins from a millennia before they arrived" I was like "Who built them?" and they were like "Nobody really knows" I was floored and have been fascinated with the Olmecs ever since. Mindblowing part of the world we live in
Teotihuacan was a large city state built nahua/nahuatl speaking people many meso Americans visited it was basically new York city with ethnic neighborhoods but it lasted for a short time it is believed deforestation and drought lead to its decline "teotihuacan" is a nahuatl/nahua word named by the Aztecs
It was built by the so called Toltecs who were believed to be the OTOMI . ,The the crazy part is near Teotiuacan , where more Toltec ruins were found, there were ruins with design similar to that of the Teotihucan ruins. Now the place was called TULA , heres where it gets crazy.. near MOSCOW - not Florida.. Moscow RUSSIA. There is a town called TULA that was left aboneded too (its now growing tho). But its earliest metnion dates back to the Khanghat dates but even then it was known as an ancient Russian town. But nobody in Russia knows what TULA means. Then there are towns in Russia called SOCHI сочи referring to fields and pastors, in Nahautl , Xochtili< SO CHEE > means flower. Then there is also CHAPULTEPEC which means raiders hill in Turkish, in nahautl it means Grasshoper hill , however Grasshoppers in Nahuatl are also synonom for Raider too.
THe reason why i mention Nahautl is because the Nahautls weren't from Mexico City, they are belived to be from Utah or Colorado. When the Nahuatl arrived to Mexico City, it was already inhabited by the Otomi. Nahautl language was influenced by the Otomi and Mixtec. If the Otomis were the Toltecs then this would explain why Nahautl and Otomi have these Sanksrit-Russian words. After years of linguistic research I can confirm that Sanksrit influenced Russian and Sankrit is also present in the Native Mexican langauges such as Mixtec . .. Ainu Japanese also has some similarities too.
Also the fact that YENESIANS of Russia had 90% of Haplogroup Q. Haplogroup Q is exclusive gene to North America.
There is also the DENE CAUCASIAN theory that backs this up too.
@@cachifli870 Toltecs weren't Nahua. are you talking about the Salvadorian Nahuas?.. Gtfoh. Toltecs were releated to the Otomi and probably influenced the Huastecs and the Mixtecs. One theory is that the Huastecs were Mayan from Yucatan.
But Mexican-Nahuatls are from Utah and are a Dene and Uto Aztecan. The Tlingit of BC canada talk like Aztlan Nahuatls.
They use the TL sound a lot , this isn't found in any of the Nahuas vocabulary other than influence from Aztec expansion in 1400s
and its not found in other Uto Aztecans and Otomis .. its only found ith the Dene Tlingit.
The Tlingit also used the MAQUITL too.
@@chibiromano5631 ok this is fascinating. A few years ago I met someone who was doing a language research project, and the Dene language grouping can be heard from the Arctic down through the western states through Mexico as far as Panama. The same language also is heard in relation to some eastern European groups and Russia. The word Aztec is connected to a term from "white lands where the cranes fly". That could be either the white sands of southwest USA or far north. Thanks for this information!
@@cachifli870 Wait are you Cholulan? They are the same Nahuatls as the Mexica , they all came from Aztlan. It was Azcopoztalco , Tlaxcala, Cholula, Mexica, Texcoco etc. that came to Anahuac around 1300s. But you are saying there were Nahuatls/nahuas in Puebla before Cholulans and Tlaxcalans?
Mexica Nahautl only seems different because the one written is Classical Nahuatl but Classical Nahautl was written by Catholic converts..They latanized that languge like crazy and added -O and -A to suffixes and also added -TEOTL to our langauge to mean god, the TEO part is actually greek meaning God , THEO.
So Classical Nahautl is highly tampered with. We don't use the word God in nahautl and otomi and hnathu.. The closest we get to it is Spirit , but its similar to the Japanese concept of Kami or similar to 'THE FORCE' in star wars , as in Vibes,Karma and energies that surround us from the earth and are in us.
I think you guys in Tlaxcala have a story in this in POPOCATEPL. He becomes a Mountain with his fiance, and hence why that Volcano looks like a sleeping person.
Shinto also has stories like this.
the original Nahuatl that the Mexica spoke sounded much different. It sounded like Tlingit.

This topic is truly amazing and one I feel I have a personal connection to because both my parents are from Veracruz (where the Olmec heads were found) and my mom would tell me stories of how when she was a kid her and her siblings would run around in my grandpa’s prairie and find what she said were green masks, stone spinning tops, and other doll like artifacts, that they would play with and take home. She described really odd stone human sculptures that were doll size and I didn’t question it at all for the longest time until I came across this video and wondered more about Olmec artifacts and went and did some searching of my own only to find a jade Olmec mask on the metropolitan museum of art website. This reminded me of the story my mom had told me so I showed her the picture and to my surprise she recognized the mask and said it looked just like the one she had found as a kid. I decided to keep looking through the museums gallery so I could show her other artifacts and she pointed out a another standing Olmec sculpture that she had said was very similar to another they had found. After hearing all of this and connecting the dots I’ll be going back to my grandpa’s prairie to see what I can find since the whereabouts of the older artifacts they had found as kids 30+ years ago are unknown.
Cool story bro.
good luck
Hope they kept some, I'm from Veracruz as well. It is fascinating to know the Olmecs are considered the oldest civilization in America.
@@misaelcruz1663there are far older archeological sites found in North America, like Cactus Hill Archaeological Site, some scholars believe these people migrated down to meso America (the Aztec origin story is from current day Utah area)

I'm mexican, Olmecs are a very underrated civilization and its society, science and culture is magnificent they were astrologist genius very advanced, its disappearance is a true mistery.
Yup and they also helped populate polynesia.
They left Central America and moved north toward towards Chicago then Alaska then Cambodia.
@Ihateyousodamnmuch Incas weren't Mexican's. Mexican's came with the Spanish. There is a difference.
Most likely where wiped by another people or integrated with others when they where weakest. At least thats what happens to most cultures when they collapse
They don't look mysterious to me they look like east Africans just like professor ivan van sertima said in the 80s about the olmecs
I prefer the theory that Aztecs and Mayans were squatting on the ruins they were found on and weren't the actual creators because neither one of them could continue building structures in the same way and they couldn't read and understand their "own" writings. They moved in after the areas were abandoned by the original creators just like happened time and again in Egypt.
*I HAVE heard about the Olmecs because 90's Nickelodeon was awesome and you actually learmed things from 'Legends of The Hidden Temple' with a talking Olmec head* ❤
Someone should leave behind an Olmec head of Joe with headphones for future generations.
I agree
Just leave a bowling ball.
Lol
Hell.... Yes

the Olmec clearly died out cause they couldn't put together the Shrine of the Silver Monkey in under 20 seconds even though it was only 3 pieces

Classic White boy response when they cant provide an honest, source filled statement. This is very prevelent when historical data don't support Darwinist White Supermacy Propaganda. The Olmec didnt die out. Many of the decendants are modern day Carribeans, Jamicans etc. and aboriginal blacks of South and North America. Many mordern day so called African Americans which is term developed only about 50 +/- years ago. Ony 1 of 5 differnt names given to the Aborignal Blacks who were also the Gala of South Carolina, Chowtaw, Blackfoot, Lanape of NOrth East America and the Seminoles, just to name a few!
Graham handcock is one of few who attempts to tell the truth among the historical academic types, however, he is still very reserved!
Regarding the Helmetts. The Olmec helments are Malian Muur War head guards. The Olemcs are related to the DoGONS of West & South Africa. The Dogons were ancient PREIST OF EYGPT. There are mandee writting scripts found on Olmec mounuments which likse the people and history, EYGPT AND SOUTH & North America. Like the Eygptians, Olmec statues depict Lion Bodies with Human heads. In Addition. There are atleast 2 Olmec head Statues that I know of without the MALIAN MUUR WAR HELMET, AND the figure looks like WESLEY SNIPES in the MOVIE "BLADE"! BIG LIPS with a Box Fade Afro Hairstyle!. KEYWORD SEARCH: EL NEGRO OLMEC STATUE at TUXTECO museum.

My first thought when I saw those helmets on the carved heads was that they were probably made of leather like early football helmets.
Patrick Mauricio
Helmets could have been thick leather considering the time if they didn’t know how to work with ores, thick leather could still prevent stab wounds,or rocks would not damage the head as much, or it could be a royal symbol, kinda goes into whether the Olmec civ was more militant or status and government focused
Or maybe they liked to play football

The Olmecs were around at the same time of Odysseus and the Odyssey
I grew up in Southern Veracruz and there is Olmec heads all over that area. FYI the idea that southern mexicans don't have thick lips and wide nose is usually coming from people who have never lived or been to this area of Mexico. There are many people who look like this in the area I was born.
PoochMount18 Those Ancient civilizations of people of meso America were not white or black, they are not euro decent, they are not Afro decent for 1. For 2 all original natives people, are Asian decent. They were hunters and gathers that crossed a land bridge that connected Asia to the America’s thousands of years ago it was called “Bering land bridge” you can look into that and they migrated between those lands including the Caribbean islands, Hawaii, Pacific islands, established their own Civilizations and cultures. There are fully blooded indigenous people today, including In South America that look nothing of Afro decent, and they are keeping with their culture, so stop trying to falsely claim these people as something their not, these people already had everything stripped from them including their identity, so don’t try too further that and discredit their culture, history and people. Take a nice hard lookat the natives of Hawaii they looking nothing of Afro decent, these people been around for thousands of years, don’t mention any history of 1493 and on. If you wanna talk about European and African Ancestory In parts of Latin America and Caribbean, yeah it’s of colonization, cause natives were enslaved, colonized, raped, for centuries they had a forced culture on them for centuries a forced language on them for centuries, Africans were brought, they didn’t come here. look at the term mestizo race first generation born Hispanics and Latinos that been around for 500 years not thousands but they are most closely related to those natives. Mullatos and Afro Latinos are second generation, European and African ancestory was not present at any time before 1492, look at the Mexicans you see walking around today. They are mixed with those ancestors they didn’t come outta nowhere that’s there blood, why would they be brown skin? if most of them were mixed with black they would look like most Dominicans. So stop tryin to discredit other people and communities, these people already get overshadowed enough. Take in mind black Americans portray no African culture what so ever like none, so they would be the last people to even claim that native history and culture. I don’t know why ya act like those features are exclusive to people of Afro decent because they never was there are plenty of people with those features being Asian decent especially Polynesians, these people stemmed from Asia not Africa, and they line up perfectly with those statues.
@@quentincaraballo6459 ever consider sum history is misinformed .. an how about thinking we crossed into Asia , rather then crossing into turtle island. Mongolians for example, excellent horsemen, We would be wearing clothes if crossing over to here.
Wazillia H'eh Universe I don’t think it’s misinformed at all because these native indigenous communities all look of Asian decent es no argument these people look Asian they don’t look white they don’t black, Pacific Islanders all Asian, the America’s all Asian, Canada Asian, all of these natives are Asian, I don’t get why that’s so hard to understand anyways. Ya act like other people of communities aren’t capable of this history, this is not just a white and black world I”ll tell you that much, cause I notice es always these white and black Americans tryin to claim these people’s heritage, culture, history, and what exactly are those people doing to them? They minding they own business, and it’s unfortunate they keep getting discriminated and harassed like mf, these people are still getting killed for no reason, I don’t even know they living they 3rd world country conditions in the US and even in Canada that’s beyond me.
Jermaine Jimjam brain washed by Hollywood? Hollywood doesn’t even recognize indigenous native cultures and accustoms and they only a knowledgeable the ones in the US and they only brought up when cowboys are afflicting with them, for your information Mexicans were the first cowboys that’s there culture and a lot Mexicans are just Spanish speaking natives see these always been around. This is has nothing to do with Hollywood ya people really out here brain washed by this white and black systematic that is portrayed in the US pretty much the whole world so ofc people and communities like these constantly get overshadowed and discredited for everything, now like I said, ain’t nobody claiming these people’s history, ain’t nobody claiming these people’s heritage or culture period, that’s a period, we ain’t gonna have this today, that ain’t ya to claim that ain’t anyone’s to claim. I said what I said, and there nothing wrong with what I said cause I said very factual shi, and ain’t no body can tell me nothing about it, cause there’s nothing to argue about. I know what the Olmecs were, Aztecs, Mayans, Incas, they are Asian decent, they are brown people, bronze race, that’s what they went by. I can pull a bunch of pics of these everyday people aligning perfectly with those Olmec statues I can pull a bunch they look nothing for Afro decent, these people look straight Polynesian. This ain’t no argument. Ya really act like these big lips, noses, big heads are exclusive to black people? So since when do all black people have those features? Cause they don’t. Even that being said there ain’t no evidence or historical evidence, there ain’t no evidence today there ain’t no DNA evidence that these people are Afro decent, cause like I said these people are still around today, so how we gonna argue that if these people are still around today all around the America’s keeping up with these native cultures and traditions, even languages. How tf else would they be so educated about there own culture? Let me say it cause it is there culture. Ya people dumb ass hell.

The amount of research he delves into and combines the dots is incredible. There is nothing pseudo about his work, he is merely connecting the dots in which mainstream archeological data has been made public and connecting the dots unlike everyone else as they are all specialists in one field or the other, he just does the hard job of connecting them all together. It’s funny because you’re on a podcast of him yet you don’t believe in his work nor what he stands for, why don’t you go watch Zahi Hawass and be completely safe in the fact that you’re being lied to and so much covered up just for their personal gains, fool.

I grew up in Veracruz where they excavated these Olmec heads, it was pretty amazing to live around so much history. They greatly influenced the coming indigenous groups, even the Aztecs.
So blacks were the first in Mexico?
They did not for crap. The Meshica/Chichimeca (what the german guy named "Aztecs") were the last group to arrive. And they were influenced by the TOLTECS. Stop making up BS
@@joserams2245 There is truth in your statement, but there is a significant different between influence and coming from- I said influenced! They didn't come from Olmec at least not directly. It is thought that the Aztecs came from the highland mountains (Sierra Madre) to form a great civilization in central Mexico. Prior to their arrival was Teotihuacan, which at that point was only a city that was empty and abandoned. I have visited all major sites in Mexico several times, (lived in Mexico for 13 years). Only major site i have yet to visit is Palenque, which I hope to visit soon. I did make it to Chiapas to study with the Maya though, I have great reverence for their heritage. Back to the Aztecs, they had a lot of influence from all parts of Mexico, although very different from both Maya and Olmec- Quetzalcoat - by the time the Aztecs came along it was more a tail of his return from ancient civilizations. The Aztec empire stretched all the way through Veracruz, as they gathered tribes - in the heart of the Olmec civilization that had previously existed. I lived right on the street that was built by Hernan Cortez to the Great Empire, stretching form the Port of Veracruz to Mexico City.
@@elisabethcrawford5903 blows my mind the history of how they arrive to teotihuacan..crazy stuff...

I’m Polynesian and no joke those statue heads could be my uncle, dude it’s fuckin sketch how similar we look 🤣
Exactly. Polynesians definitely have something to do with the indigenous people. In my state, the Natives in some tribes here are known for their boats and sea travels. The Native hawaiians look similar to the natives up here. However central and south american indigenous folk looks like cousins to the Polynesians. Obviously generations later through diet and environment tweaked the physical similarities, I have a feeling 100s of years of sea travel is what made polynesians so great at navigating and at some point in history had some connection to the Americas before dying down and eventually being cut off. Just a thought that runs through my mind. I'm micronesian and our people resemble a mix between papa new guineas and Malaysians.
Idk i think the world was a lot more connected in the past than we think.
Those people on the stone carvings with the thick lips are black people polynesians have no similarities to our people they just throw that in there not to hurt people feeling how does it go from early Africans to polynesians but when you look at the statue it looks like a black man all day

That part about finding the "bags" being held by someone in cultures scattered all over the world is so intriguing, and he said it dates back over 12000 years? That's more than twice as long ago as Sumeria..
There's something very odd that happened to humanity all that time ago and I feel like we are so close to figuring it out.
Based and Med-pilled is a bag that big a stretch over a basket? You just need something loose woven into your straw basket to hold it like a bag.

FYI for the artifact called "bag" and its meaning: you will also find noumerous ridicularly detailed carvings and examples of these artifacts accross the Indian temples (and the most detailed carvings are in India) and in some of them the figure of babies or small human beings is present inside the bags. So, for short (we don't know how, but we speculate these bags worked like some sort of articial incubators), my best clue is that the "bag" means literally that these beings were bringing some of their offspring with them
I have a Facebook friend from India and in one of her posts she mentioned that the bag was a battery.🤔💭 so, now your statement is also very interesting 👍

@@brickfacemortar4432 We sure did, and now the younger hippy generation is throwing the whole idea upside down, and are calling for the criminalization of thought, all the while calling it free speech. If you can't see that, I can't help you.
The thing with the Olmecs and Sumerians holding the little bags and being civilization-bringers is an odd one. Similar thing shows up in Irish founding myths as well: the fir bolg (men of the bag), among the first mythical people to settle in Ireland . They brought good soil in the bags which helped civilization grow.
There is no connection between this man.
So, it’s a bag of fertilizers!
Personally I think people in bronze age societies just thought bags were neat inventions, hence the recurring motif.
Not odd at all if you consider this in the context of the legend of the Tower of Babel, which resulted in the confusion of Languages & the dispersion of Tribes
That's why all the gods from around the world have these same common features
Maybe the bags are like the symbol of fertility (land, people, etc.), like the cornucopia?
The Olmecs were Thracian Field Workers taken in Zeus' Deluge by Cretan Vikingar. They were brought to America in 1100BC. The settlement was called 'The Pool of Hephaestus'. It was a portal to the Pacific Ocean, an ancient Panama Canal. It is part of the Greenlandr Sagas in Plato's Hermocrates Dialogue. Vikingar 1450-1100BC, Vikingr 1100-250BC, Berserkers 250BC-791AD, Vikings 793-1066AD.
Maybe those bags are for a frequency or vibration to help lift the ship they are in
Whenever you run out of Netflix, Buy a pound of weed and binge Rogan.
This is why I watch CZcams . I like listening to the man talking about knowledge he has gathered and handing it out for free
If you didnt already know, this year was the first in recorded human history that the spoken work was more easily accessible than the written word. Amazing time to be alive yet still seemingly surrounded by stupidity.
It ain't free. Advertisers are adding all this to your profile
The Olmecs became the people of the Netherlands. The Toltecs the people of the Baltic states. The Aztec and Incans fought the Mongols along the Volga River in Russia. The Berserker loss at the Battle of Uppsala Sound in 791AD changed America from a Viking property to a Templar property. The Vikings returning to Europe in 793AD in response to the conversion of the Uppsala Temple to Christianity was the start of the Viking Age.
3:17 Making a comedian laugh must feel like having Chef Ramsay say your food was good. Look at that smile... A true friend it appears.
spanish burn most of the aztec codex, maybe the key to understand that history was there.
And when the Aztecs subdued and conquered the Mayans, guess what they did? They burned all of their history, and altered it. Weird huh
That is weird, kinda crazy ngl sometime makes you think like what would we see if we went by in time would we even see what everyone expect or something entirely different yk

He's a charlatan. There are plenty of credible people who research these topics.
@@iandaley2295 I find him very credible and decent. I think sometimes people on the internet just want to put others down.
He speaks very well and with a ability to tell a story like a great teacher
@I have something to say about it don’t cry. Everything will be ok.
@@iandaley2295 Given the depth of your rebuttal how could i possibly disagree? Value judgements are worthless.
this is great
Thank you for caring.
Joe: "Did the Olmeks do DMT?"
*Olmecs
Maybe since there are frogs that were there before the spanish that contain dmt.
TheCrusaderRabbits your point is?? A lot of ancient tribes were fucked on any drug they could to “see their God’s”. It’s not that crazy that way back when there was meth heads like thee is all over today

The reason the statutes have helmets is to pay homage to all the players, that were on Legends of the Hidden Temple.
🤔🤔🤔 sounds about right!
🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
"It's a satchel, Indiana Jones has one" 🤣
Bruh they look exactly like cyborg from teen titans
I love how this guy is willing to think outside the box and still be able to strongly prove his point
Being Mexican, if you saw some of the natives you would understand why the statues look like that...
So much theories for something easily observable....
Are talking about afro Mexicans?
MarvelousAll TheTime Has to be referring to them because I’ve never seen an so-called Mexican or native American with those features. It’s still people with those features today.
MySuperEmilio they’ve been mixed with slaves and Europeans for hundreds of years in the past South Americans would of looked more dark Asian which is much different than the Olmec statues
Let's just be honest there's no denying that blacks are the true indigenous worldwide are not asians or europeans the oldest of statues and paintings are of black people
If you google image "Olmec faces" you will see the Olemecs were clearly South American in blood/genetics. Their faces look identical to indigenous people in those regions today.
I'd guess they were medicine bags holding hallucinogenics for use in vision questing and healing. Perhaps the number one resource they could market in trade.
Joe "facinated by helmets" Rogan
Lmao seriously.
1:52
“Always with the helmets.”
It suggests they practiced fighting forms that have been lost, Joe being an MMA enthusiest, naturally would get excited at this possibility
Helmets and dreads are a clue. Olmec heads are only shown from angles to hide their identity and heritage.

As a Pacific Islander, the more accepted view on Pacific Island settlement is that it originated from South East Asia. However, there have been theories and evidences of an Eastern pattern of migration originating from the Americas. i dont know why but i like to believe that some part of our history connects with these olmecs or other American civilization. Graham's challenge on mainstream history and archeology is sooo fascinating.
Indeed. One of the fascinating thing coming form my island village in West Papua is that, our ancestors have lived for centuries with corn staple even prior to European contacts. At first a thought that it was introduced by spanish or portuguese, but according tothe oral history of our earliest ancestors 54 generations back, suggest that they arrived on the islands with corns. 54 generations in my calculations of 4-5 generations each century would predate the first European contacts in the sixteenth century.
Your forefathers are are descendents of paupan people,who migrated from Africa ,sorry everything started from the motherland 🙂
The current took them from Africa to the Caribbean and upward into the western world. Which they had already been and left.
Mesopotamia to America to the pacific
I have read a book that said that Aztec origins come from Polynesia somewhere in the Pacific Islands....god only knows
Respect to Mr. Hancock for saying “ I won’t claim 100% of them (Olmec heads) have helmets because I might of seen one without a helmet” because that protects everyone from presenting false facts as true facts.
Love it.
Bro,
That thumbnail is Legends of the Hidden Temple
from Nickelodeon in the 90's
I was just telling my cousin I was on this show as a kid lol

Hey joe can you get more guests like this on?
I really miss episodes like this, pre-covid talk taking over all media not just this show lol.
Jre is dead. There is never any good episodes anymore it's all political and social crap.
Joe show reminds me of Coast to Coast
I like Graham Hancock. He acts like he'd be cool as hell to hang around with and learn from while in a mind altered state.
Who remembers 'Mysterious cities of gold'?
That great 80's show covered the Olmec mystery brilliantly!
3:16 happens to the best of us 🤣
That thumbnail is everything. 90s kids remember
THE LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I was looking for this comment!!! 😂
Graham is so knowledgeable about the ancient cultures it's so fascinating to listen to him and learn what he knows and has discovered
There are true professional archaeologist who are far more knowledgeable and will give you facts rather than fiction and speculation.
@@gammon1183 who
@@gammon1183 You're unaware of the amount of speculation in actual history.
The great pyramids are only associated with the Egyptians by proximity and by the fact we figured out a way they could have built them. The great pyramids are roughly believed to be the oldest and first pyramids built by the Egyptians as well as the best which has never happened before in the progression of human history "oldest and best". I mean, it's not even logical. It's just that we aren't aware of any other civilization residing there that was capable of building the pyramids. That absence of evidence isn't proof.
Edit: Imagine being a civilization that kept records of almost everything aside from your greatest build ever.
Hi guys, I'm from new Zealand. In our legends we also have these baskets throughout our heritage we still weave today from harakeke (flax) as a symbol. The basket of knowledge (light, darkness and pursuit).
5:38 Rogan can’t let go of those helmets… I get like that too haha
Wow such insightful questions from Joe... 😂
"I'm in California I've been smoking a lot of dope" that was him saying to Joe, spark one up w me man.
BoomShakaLaka joe was being stingy with the green 😂
I thought that he quit.
@@gabe6281 I'm sure he "did," but if he's around it, he'll smoke some. I do the same thing. I stopped (regularly) but I won't turn it down, unless I need to for some reason.
For sure!!
@Jerry Atrix He quit because he was abusing it. Ayahuasca helped him realize it. Then he acted upon it. Now, he respects it and doesn't go crazy with it. I assume.
I've always believed that the olmec head represented a specific person in power and not necesarily a random olmec, that's why they all look so similar
Yeah couldve been a King with a big ego lol
In some parts of Africa there are similar heads but on a smaller scale...that IMO explains a lot.
The faceless Question I heard the original native Americans of Americans were black and Africans. And it was documented that Africans would travel across The Atlantic before Europeans. And they said that Mayan civilization means Land across the water in Am African language
@@staxx2353 theres also evidence of precolumbian european travels here
All the native tribes have stories of redheaded giants
J Knott yea Viking made it America’s before Columbus as well
