We just learned about the Toltec Atlantean figures from Tula.
Another ancient sculpture from Mesoamerica is the San Martín Pajapan Monument 1.
This is another sculpture made by the Olmec people from ancient Mexico, carved some time before 1000 BC.
It is made out of basalt rock, and was found on the top of the San Martin Pajapan volcano in the Mexican state of Veracruz.
The statue is of a young ruler who is bent over and lifting a large bar from the ground.
People think this bar was meant to be for the world tree, and the sculpture was meant to show the earthly world connecting with the spiritual worlds above and below.
