Hugh Newman searches for a forgotten major Olmec city in Veracruz, Mexico. The Olmecs date to as early as 1800 BC and the main sites of San Lorenzo and La Venta are well known, but there is one city that has been hidden from the public eye for decades. Laguna De Los Cerros dating to around 1200 BC - 1000 BC is completely overgrown in a rural, swampy part of the Gulf Coast but has revealed many amazing archaeological anomalies, including beautifully carved stone heads, statues, and some large pyramid and earthwork structures. Hugh searches for the abandoned site and explores it fully finding massive megalithic blocks showing signs of high technology. The video also shows exclusive excavation photos from a dig at the site in the 1990s, and remarkably, in a nearby schoolyard Hugh and JJ Ainsworth (@megalithicmaiden) spot an unrecorded Olmec statue that came from the site revealed in the this video for the first time. Includes exclusive aerial footage.
