[QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by trexmaster: [b]For those of you who believe that the "elephant" art proves an African connection: [URL=http://www.science-frontiers.com/sf068/sf068b07.htm]http://www.science-frontiers.com/sf068/sf068b07.htm[/URL] Note that the Mayan elephant motif depicts the animal with small ears, as opposed to African elephants' big ears. [/b][/QUOTE] Good link, and food for thought at least. But careful not to jump at anything you see, by way of: MASTODON FOUND IN FLORIDA, CROCODILES IN NY SUBWAY, and so on. For instance: The well known story of the mastodon killed in Ecuador 1500 BC, is considered to be mere folklore by many, if not all naturalists. Supposedly it was found in the 1920's at the bottom of a landslide, and no one was sure of the date, which still keeps changing. But paleontologists have continued to claim that the Mastodon died out 10,000 years ago, so they were obviously not impressed. And of course, this has nothing to do directly with the Olmec. It's just natural history. Perhaps it will eventually be documented that the Mastodon was a living part of Olmec culture. But that does not seem to be the case at this time.
