San Lorenzo is the first major Olmec site in Mexico dating to around 1800 BC and peaking around 1400 BC. It has been excavated at various times with ten colossal Olmec heads discovered in this huge artificial platform city. In the 1990s another head was discovered that is now on display at the local museum with other unusual artifacts, some of them with magnetic qualities and intricate carving similar to Gobekli Tepe and Tiwanaku. There is even a stone sphere and platform, like those found in Costa Rica. Hugh Newman and the Megalithomania group also visits the site that is now destroyed with only evidence of mounded structures there.
