God II - Maize God

Pantheon: Olmec


Keep in Mind

​There is no surviving direct account of the Olmec's religious beliefs, unlike the Mayan and the Aztecs. 


Because of this techniques such as typological analysis of Olmec iconography and art, comparison to later, better documented pre-Columbian cultures and comparison to modern-day cultures of the indigenous peoples of the Americas have been used to piece together what little we know about this ancient, nearly lost, culture.


Thus any information we do know cannot be taken as fact but rather a combination of fragmented historical documention, educated guesswork and conjecture.
