The little-known 'mother culture' that inspired the Maya – BBC REEL
Long before more famous civilisations such as the Maya and Aztecs, a people called the Olmec were building an impressive legacy in Mexico and Central America.
Commonly referred to by experts as the ‘mother culture’ of Mesoamerica, the Olmec civilisation ruled parts of modern-day Mexico and Guatemala between 1200 to 400BC.
They built pyramids,…

Are there any other ancient cultures you'd like us to make videos about?
The Phoenicians were ancient seafarers that visited and settled in the Americas way before European exploration, European exploration did not begin until the early 15th century.
that's Teotihuacan at the beginning, not a Maya structure at all.
Everyone needs to ask themselves this question, have you ever seen anyone who looks like the sculpture at 0:43 who wasn't of African descent?
I learned that there is mesoamerican in my DNA
pylly😜
Not one mention that these were black African decent people…smh
These aren't black or African e as like the Nazis have tried to make a strange connection
I'm Mexican American from 2 Mexican tribes. There was NEVER a tribe or an empire called the Olmecs. The word Olmec is a word given by a foreign archeologist, which simply means the rubber ppl. Aztec is another word by the European, as we called ourselves the Mexica, or something similar. The USA is infamous for skewing world history. The ppl they call the Olmecs, r the tribes UNDER the umbrella of the Toltec, Inca, Maya, and Aztec, who were really empires. The European did not understand. They were a society with structure. Since before the Toltec, every tribe contributed something significant to what is now Mexico and South America. It seems to be a collective of a lot of great tribes. Recently, the USA is concentrating on particular big heads bc they think they resemble a cult of USA Black culture vultures who falsely claim to be the "real" Indigenous ppl of the Americas. True to their ignorant form, they start skewing history. There are a lot of sculpts of big heads all over Mexico and South America, and they all look different. No one really knows who built those heads, but as DNA trail tells it, they were not African. The African came with the European on ships of horror, and it's very well documented on paper and DNA trail. If and when Mexico and South America get around to picking a champ, they will let YOU know who, what, and when. Such ignorant skewing of world history for a pathetic political agenda against the REAL Indigenous ppl…again!

If you check the haplogroup of the Olmecs and do your own research this is what you'll find:
There is evidence to suggest that the Olmec civilization in ancient Mesoamerica may have had some connections to African groups. DNA analysis of ancient Olmec remains has revealed genetic markers that are also found in present-day African populations, particularly those from Nigeria and Cameroon. This has led to theories of transatlantic contact or migration between Africa and the Americas in ancient times. However, it is important to note that this is still a topic of ongoing research and debate among archaeologists and geneticists.
Bearing in mind that the Africans were the first people to explore this planet out of Africa, It's not surprising that the Olmec have so much African DNA.
This is the narrative of the USA . The Olmecs were important, butThe Maya was first and ruled for much longer than the Olmecs. Since before the Toltecs, every ruling culture left significant contributions to what is now Mexico and South America. There are a lot of large sculpts of big heads and faces all over México and South America. The USA only çoncentrates on these heads bc they resemble a group of African Americans,who falsely claim to be the real Natives of the Americas. It seems to be a collective of great ruling cultures. It was this way all over the world, as other great Cultures were also formed, all over the world. The USA is a bust about changing world history. When and if, Mexico and South America, ever get around to picking a champ of Cultures, they will let YOU know what and when and who. Such pathetic, wannabe obvious BS!
These heads look African, i have brother with that type of nose. They even painted themselves in black ink. Does this mean Africans where in South America a long time ago?
First of all, the Maya was first and ruled for much longer and the Olmecs took from them. The USA skews it bc they pander to the African Americans who claim to be Native bc of these heads. There are a lot of big heads, all over Mexico and South America, they look different depending on area. USA never shows those carvings. Mexico doesn't claim the Olmecs as their "mother" culture, the Olmecs r important, but Mexico and South America, will tell YOU what's up! USA ppl don't get to dictate their cultural BS on Mexico or South America. The ancient DNA studies have been done and verified, It's been known for a long time that the Aboriginals of Australia, the Negritos from the Philippines, the Natives of Papua New Guinea, and others are NOT from Africa, they are Asian with Asian DNA, not African DNA. The features that ppl think r unique to Black Africans, Caucasian, Asian, ect r not! It's been known for a long time that diet and environment can dictate ur physical appearance, including hair texture and skin color. The USA narrative is so skewed about Native ppl, you can hardly find any truth in it anymore. Thank goodness for Mexico, South America and the Natives on the Rez, they are the truth keepers. The ppl in USA, r so obsessed with skin color and race, it actually seems like they have lost the capacity to grasp the science and concept of skin color and race!
I have friends from Veracruz that look just like that and they are not black at all. Why is it so important to prove that they are black or to believe that they are black what does that do? Does that say that you are exceptional it’s just bragging rights and you sound silly, they were not black, it might be hard for you to muster, but they are different cultures that have pronounced features like that
This is why the Natives,Mexicans/Latinos have to get away from the Democrats and have a safety net with RFK! Let these ppl spin it till doomsday for the Democratic party! The Democratic party released this scourge on us by endorsing and encouraging it! They can't deny it, they did it in our face, on national TV! RFK is not from a race baiting party! Don't wanna be their woke chumps! They have thrown everything woke on us! Latinx, cancel culture, culture appropriation and the trans thing doesn't belong in schools! We have NOTHING in common with the Democratic party! We have a moral and spiritual obligation to our ancestors to protect our culture and place in the Americas! RFK can't make this go away, but we will be safe with RFK. We won't have to worry about the maliciousness of the Dems anymore! SAVE OUR CULTURE AND HISTORY AND PLACE IN THE AMERICAS! ALL THE WAY WITH RFK! Every video of this nature, should be a push for RFK!
start mentioning the Maya while showing a non-Maya pyramid, great start for an "educational" clip! lol
This pioneering study of mitochondrial DNA in 2018 was carried out on two Olmec individuals, one from San Lorenzo and the other from Loma del Zapote, resulted, in both cases, in the unequivocal presence of the distinctive mutations of the haplogroup A maternal lineage. They share the most abundant of the five mitochondrial haplogroups characteristic of the indigenous populations of the Americas: A, B, C, D and X.[108]Not African decendant 💯
Lol talking about the maya at the beginning but the city is Teotihuacan at central Mexico
This is a crock! There is no African DNA in any ancient human fossils of the Americas first inhabitants, and there are several ancient human fossils. There are several tribes, full Native tribes, who look like those heads, ever see Fernando Valenzuela? The Aboriginals of Australia, r NOT from Africa, they are from ASIA, the Negritos from the Philippines, and the Natives of Papua New Guinea, all from ASIA, with Asian DNA! Seems like the features that ppl think r unique to Black Africans, Caucasian, Asian, ect, r not. It's been known for a long time, that diet and environment can dictate ur physical appearance, including hair texture and skin color. Apparently you can be as black as black can be, and be full Asian, Caucasian, Asian,ect, and visa/versa, depending on where ur ancestors lived for centuries. The discovery of the Denivosons is very significant, there is no Denisovan DNA in Africa, or next to none. The Natives of Australia carry it, so do the Natives of New Zealand, Oceana, and the Americas. Some carry more than others, but they carry it in a very convincing pattern. No Denisovan DNA in the cradle of humanity? Seems like there was a migration out of Asia, and they hit a lot of continents. The ppl in USA, especially the Black cullture vultures, r so obsessed with skin color and race, they don't have the capacity to grasp the science of skin color. They are to far gone. They use old pictures and articles that wouldn't stand up to a fart in the wind, they totally disregarded any science, they really have lost the capacity to grasp the concept of skin color.
They don’t look anything like the heads 😂
Natives from Alaska to the tip of Chile are related and share a gene.
Great InfoVideo! Best Regards from Portugal! ❤🇵🇹
Another example of America's attempt to call something that doesn't belong to them. "Mesoamerica", really…SMH.
Those are Black people thank you
