Giant Stone Heads
Baffle Scientists
♦ Science Digest)
Five colossal stone heads, one1
frowning and the others placidly
viewing the world, have been
brought to light in the jungles of
soutnern Mexico.
These newly-discovered great
stone heads were found among
the remains of a prehistoric In
dian ceremonial center excavated 1
this spring by an expedition of
the National Geographic Society,
and the Smithsonian Institution.
"There gigantic heads represent
the best group of monuments we
have ever found,” Dr. Matthew
W. Stirling of the Smithsonian In-1
stitution, expedition leader, stated
upon his return. Although similar
to other basalt heads found by the
expedition in previous seasons,
these found in the archaeological
site known as San Lorenzo are
better preserved and have finer
carvings.
Little is known about the his- •
tory of these gigantic figures or
who they represent. Another mys
tery is how they got to this site'
along the Rio Chiquito, about 60
miles inland from the Gulf of
Mexico. The basalt from which
they were carved did not come
from that section, but must have
been quarried at least 75 miles to
| the north.
The San Lorenzo community is
believed to have existed between
500 and 800 A.D. It is one of three
major sites representing the La
Venta civilization under investi
gation the last few years.
