Description:
The Olmec civilization in Mexico sculpted massive stone heads 3000 years ago — 500 years before Rome was founded. These statues weighed up to 40 tonnes and were made from stone that came from the Tuxtla mountains more than 160 kilometres away. The journey would have taken the Olmecs across great rivers and virtually impassable swamps. How did they manage that?

This is great.!! All these guys are doing, is showing us how the Olmecs did not do it....!!!! Fact is they had some sort of technologies that these over educated ninnies don't know about... They had to... I don't know what it was, but it certainly was not "stone Tools", and "wooden sleds".!!! LOL..!!! That is clear from this video.!!!
