Olmec Cultur e
The Olmec culture was the first
and mother of the Mesoamerica n
cultures, as we already know is
also one of which hold several
riddles both of its culture and of
its inventions and traditions
Something very peculiar about th e Olmecs was that the shape of their heads was
not something natural, but that t hey themselves modified it,
The deformation in the Olmec skulls was because they
thought that while the larger the heads of the people
were much more intelligent and still had a standard of
beauty greater than the average Olmecs
But nobody could afford to deform the cranium only the great Olmec
rulers and some high level priests or warriors in conclutons as we
can see the olmecs have diferents kinds of beauty
