In this episode, we investigate the tantalizing question of whether these two seemingly distant cultures might have had direct or indirect contact in antiquity. We examine striking parallels in art, architecture, and mythology, as well as controversial theories involving ancient seafaring and transoceanic voyages. What do modern archaeology, linguistics, and DNA evidence reveal about the possibility of a forgotten connection between these ancient...2024-12-2302 minThe Ten Minute Time MachineThe Ten Minute Time MachineThe Olmec Civilization: Foundations and Enduring Legacy in Mesoamerican CultureThe Olmec civilization, flourishing between 1500 BCE and 400 BCE in the modern-day Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco, is considered the "mother culture" of Mesoamerica.

Patterns in ancient languages demonstrate instances of word-play connecting punishment to the crime, particularly in and around the Mayans. Wright and Rappleye dive into historical and linguistic clues to not only argue that Korihor's fate demonstrates an example of this, but also that this cultural similarity serves as evidence linking The Book of Mormon to Mesoamerican history.
