Explanation:

The Olmecs are an ancient Mesoamerican civilization who lived in southeastern Mexico between 1,500 and 400 BC, on the territories of today's Tabasco y Veracruz. They are known as one of the first civilizations developed in Mesoamerica.

The Olmec colossal heads represent a distinctive feature of Olmec civilization. These are huge representations of human heads, made of stone, carved to commemorate their rulers.

The Olmec colossal heads have been found at 17 locations, but the three most important Olmecs locations in Mexico are La Venta (four monuments), San Lorenzo (two monuments), and Tres Zapotes (two monuments).

Their height varies from 1.4 to 3.4 meters and weight between 6 and 50 tones. The most important characteristics of Olmec heads are flat noses, fleshy cheeks, and slightly crossed eyes.
