Giant Stone Head of Monte Alto [1]

This striking sculpture is credited to the Pre-Olmec Monte Alto Culture, with some researchers proposing that the Olmec Culture emerged from this Pacific Lowlands region. It appears that the Monte Alto Culture was Mesoamerica's initial complex culture, and all subsequent cultures in the area owe a debt to its legacy. Research reveals that this head exhibits magnetic properties.
