Massive Olmec Warrior Head Sculptures
The massive Olmec head sculptures are among the most famous tribal artworks in the world. They were found close to San Lorenzo and La Venta and provided some insight into a community that researchers knew little about. They do not only show the distinct physical attributes of the people, but they also took a lot of manpower to make. The statues were hand-carved using a basalt boulder, some of which had to be transported a hundred kilometers or even more to the final destination. It is already hard enough to fathom just how they were transported there, let alone chiseled away into this.
