We took lots of pictures inside the museum. You'll have to drop by and we will give you a slide show. I liked the skulls.
In the other shot we are standing beside one of the original Olmec Heads which date to the time of the Jaredites. They were found in our mission,some near the Hill Vigía which stands watch above Santiago Tuxtla. The word vigía translates watchman. The Olmecs are the oldest civilization in the Western Hemisphere, according to the anthropologists. The Olmecs did not worship these figures, but carved them from basalt to honor their leaders.
