Good to have factual info.

Fantastic book, The captivating history team has always been the top authority in their subjects.

Great read and wonderfully described.

Book does have flow smoothly from period to period. The author is obviously a knowledgeable person. It appears he wants his/her reader to be as knowledgeable as he is.

A sort of appropriation of past cultures.

"Olmec" is a word coming from Spanish texts about the Aztecs, and seemingly meant people of the steamy plains. We have no idea what they called themselves; timetable is not yet set but in the current understanding their prime was around 1150 to 400 BCE. Their stone monuments are the oldest in Mexico and Mesoamerica.

Very informative!

This was a very informative audiobook. It was also not one-sided and gave two perspectives on the Olmec. I certainly learned a lot of new facts, ideas, and theories.

despite author bias still interesting history

the author spewed opinion as though it was fact specifically on the west African influence. he omitted details that sughest ties to the olmec civilization. Dr. Ivan van sertima wrote a book called they came before Columbus that touched on historical evidence he either missed or omitted
