    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.

      @@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.

      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.

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.

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.

      @@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.

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.

      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.

    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.

    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

    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.

      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.

I was with several archaeologists and they told me there is some new evidence to suggest that the Olmecs may have been influenced to some extent by the Zapotecs. And the Zapotecs may have developed the 1st written language. I do know that at some of the very old pre-classic Maya cities, there are structures under many of the existing structures that are much older.
