Formative era edition. What was the Olmec fascination with infants?
Mesoamerica Thread
This is just a hypothesis, but in Mexico until very recently disease would just kill a shitton of babies because of the tropical climate.
Are these diseases a result of the columbian exchange?
More Formative era peoples, Xochipala which was contemporaneous with the Olmec.
btw the Mesoamerica mega has been updated with a reference folder. It's being updated as I speak. If you have any accurate/researched reconstructions or drawings and original art (murals, codices, figurines, vases etc) feel free to dump some to add.
And by dump I mean dump ITT.
Here's the link for the whole Mesoamerica mega btw

You can find the reference folder in here too.

Why do kangs think Olmecs were black?
Ignorant of native features that can look Olmec as well. Maybe want to lay an older legit claim to being here other than as slaves. Same reason ppl buy into Solutrean theory, it's all about trying to have ancient ties to a land. They want to justify their existence on said land even if it means distorting history.
They even think Socrates was a nigger because one bust of Socrates had thick lips. As if niggers were the only people with thick lips or fat noses.
>tfw no drama series set in the Classical period.

gonna dump some pics
A lot of African ethnicities have distinctly Asiatic features so it's pretty easy to think a particularly robust Mongoloid specimen might be black, if you can't see the skin color.
I need a badass Aztec name for my next Skyrim playthrough give me something Veeky Forums
badass sounding or badass meaning?
I always liked Cuauhtemoc "Descending Eagle".

gaht daym, that must mean race doesn't exist and skin color is just a factor of ones sensitivity to sunlight
race is a meme.
If you think that you know nothing about genetics.
I really like this jade piece
Olmec tomb in La Venta
its crazy to think the Olmecs had fountains and running war via stone aqueducts 3000 years ago.
This are the crazy jade abstract mosaics, as discovered by stirling, they put several layers of diffrerent color sand and clay above them and then jade pavement and buried it all.
Race literally contradicts genetic facts.
