Giant Stone Head of Monte Alto [2]

This sculpture is attributed to the Pre-Olmec Monte Alto Culture, with several scholars proposing that the Olmec Culture had its roots in this part of the Pacific Lowlands. It's probable that the Monte Alto Culture was Mesoamerica's first complex culture, and a predecessor to all other cultures in the region.Studies demonstrate that this head exhibits remarkable magnetic properties.\r\n \r\nThis object is part of "Scan The World", an initiative introduced by MyMiniFactory as a non-profit effort.
