The most agreed upon theory is that, because of their unique physical features and the difficulty and cost involved in their creation, they represent?Olmec?rulers. HYPERLINK "" Olmec Colossal HeadSeventeen?heads have been discovered to date, 10 of which are from San Lorenzo and?4 from La Venta; two of the most important Olmec centres. The heads were each carved from a single basalt boulder which in some cases were transported 100 km or more to their final destination, presumably using huge balsa river rafts wherever possible and log rollers on land. The principal source of this heavy stone was Cerro Cintepec in the Tuxtla Mountains. The heads can be nearly 3 m high, 4.5 metres (9.8 feet, 14.7 feet)?in circumference and average around 8 tons in weight. The heads were sculpted using hard hand-held stones and it is likely that they were originally painted using bright colours. The fact that these giant sculptures depict only the head may be explained by the widely held belief in Mesoamerican culture that it was the head alone which contained the emotions, experience, and soul of an individual.Facial details were drilled into the stone?(using reeds and wet sand) so that prominent features such as the eyes, mouth, and nostrils have real depth. Some also have deliberately drilled dimples on the cheeks, chin, and lips. The heads all display unique facial features - often in a very naturalistic and expressive manner - so that they may be considered portraits of actual rulers. The?scholar M.E. Miller identifies Colossal Head 5, for example, as a second-millenium BCE ruler of San Lorenzo. Although the physionomy of the sculptures has given rise to unfounded speculation of contact with civilizations from Africa, in fact, the physical features common to the heads are still seen today in residents of the modern Mexican?cities?of Tabasco and Veracruz. HYPERLINK "" Olmec Colossal Stone HeadThe subject often wears a protective helmet which was worn by the Olmec in?battle?and during the Mesoamerican ballgame. These can vary in design and pattern and sometimes the subject also has jaguar paws hanging over the forehead, perhaps representing a jaguar pelt worn as a symbol of political and religious power, a common association in many Mesoamerican cultures. Colossal Head 1 from La Venta, instead, has huge talons carved on the front of the helmet.Some heads are also recarvings of other objects. For example, San Lorenzo Colossal Head 7 was originally a throne and has a deep indentation on one side and Altar 5 from La Venta seems to have been abandoned in the middle of such a conversion. Miller suggests that perhaps a specific ruler's throne was converted into a colossal portrait in an act of remembrance following that ruler's death.Many of the stones are difficult to place in their original context as they were not necessarily found in the positions the Olmecs had originally put them. Indeed, Almere Read (41) suggests that even the Olmecs themselves regularly moved the heads around for different ritual purposes. Another theory is that the heads were used as powerful markers of rulership and distributed to declare political dominance in various territories. Interestingly, the four heads from La Venta were perhaps originally positioned with such a purpose in mind so that they stood as guardians to the sacred precinct of the?city. Three were positioned at the northern end of the complex and the other one stood at the southern end; but all faced outwards as if protecting the precinct. These heads are very similar to the San Lorenzo heads but display a regional variance in that they are wider and more squat in appearance.That the other heads might have been discovered out of their original setting is suggested by the fact that very often they show signs of deliberate vandalism and most were buried sometime before 900 BCE in what appears to have been a?purposeful ritual distancing with the past. However, it has also been suggested that some of the heads were buried shortly after their production in a process of ancestor worship or that they were defaced and buried by subsequent rulers to legitimize their claim to power and exclude competing lineages. It could also be that?they were even damaged in order to neutralize the dead ruler's power. Whatever the reason, the heads were buried and forgotten for nearly three thousand years?until the first head was re-discovered,?in 1871 CE, with the last being excavated as recently as 1994 CE.Since Hammurabi and Gilgamesh are already covered, let’s make this three documents!Next go to RIG VEDA, 1700 BCE (INDIA) – Watch the following video- The Rigveda- , the video is a bit lame and somewhat confusing, but take notes on what is in the Rig Veda and also answer the question,- How will this from the basis of Hinduism?BOOK OF THE DEAD, 1500 BCE (EGYPT) - Watch the following video - Ancient Egyptians Book of the Dead secrets- notes on the main details from the videoBOOK OF SONGS, 1000 BCE (CHINA) – Read and take notes from the following site - The Book of Songs- Book of Songs,?formerly called?Poetry, is the earliest general collection of ancient Chinese poems. It is also called?Three Hundred Poems, for it includes 305 poems in total. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Poetry was regarded as a must read by the Confucians, so it is called?The Book of Songs. The interpretation and study on?The Book of Songs?has been carried on generation after generation, and it is not stopped until now.Collected in?The Book of Songs?were poems popular around the region from the north of the Yellow River basin to the Jianghan Drainage Area during the period from the early Western Zhou Dynasty (the 11th century BC) to the mid Spring and Autumn Period. It is said that they had been compiled by Confucius.In the ancient times, poems are lyrics for accompanying tunes.?The Book of Songs?is classified into three parts according to contents, namely?Feng?(ballads),?Ya?(peoms from intellectuals or aristocrats), and?Song?(songs for praying).?Feng, also called?Guofeng, is mostly the collection of folk songs. It is divided into 15 groups and has a total of 160 poems, which mainly express the love between men and women and the dissatisfaction of the people toward the emperor.?Ya?contains 105 poems, including 31 articles of?Daya?and 74 articles of?Xiaoya, most of which were written by court officials and aristocrats.?Song?collects 40 poems, which are songs for offering sacrifice and praising emperors by the aristocrats. They are usually accompanied with dance during the performance. Although?the Book of Songs?is a collection of works of many people, authors of most works are unknown, just a small part of them were researched out by later generations.The Book of Songs?exerted a very profound effect on ancient China in terms of politics, culture, language, and even thinking. During the Spring and Autumn Period, diplomats often expressed words that they didn’t want to say by themselves or that were difficult to say by quoting sentences from?the Book of Songs, which is similar to today’s diplomatic language. Confucius, a sage of China and who gave a high praise to?the Book of Songs, claimed that people’s cultures, observation abilities and interpersonal skills could be highly improved through the study of?the Book of Songs.Go to Freemanpedia Worksheet 1.1- Big Geography & The Peopling of the EarthName three changes and three continuities that existed from the beginning of this period to the endChanges Continuities1.2.3.1.2.
