Curse of the Jungle Treasure
On Mexico’s Gulf coast, archaeologists uncover strange stone heads
beside a concealed 100-foot tall mud pyramid. They mark the site of La
Venta – the lost capital city of the mysterious Olmec.
Who were these people? Why did they vanish 1000 years after
founding this mighty metropolis?
In the search for answers, brand new research reveals the Olmec
built the very first giant structures in North America; and a
recently-unearthed artefact proves they communicated using the continent’s first written language.
Piecing together the evidence reveals an incredible possibility:
before they disappeared, the Olmec laid the foundations for the whole of
Mesoamerican civilisation.
