This exhibition is colossal. Literally. The traditional art form from the ancient Olmec people was colossal sculpture carved from volcanic rocks. These are actually a trendy attraction in the famed Archeological Museum of Mexico City. You can see an incredible selection in the new Resnick Pavillion from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

The total population from the Mayan peoples increased to be about 2 million people. As they lived a rural and agricultural life, the Mayans wound up covering almost all of Guatemala with their population. Their cities were kept mostly in regards to ceremonial practices, leaving them to build centers where they would get their ceremonies and give sacrifices to their gods.

Zero is a placeholder, which means that it truely does work to show that successive numbers are higher - it is indicated that we are now counting within the tens position through the '10' figure, for example.. A higher base of counting was usually denoted historically through the use of a space, however, in messy writing it was impossible to decide if '1 9' was really 19 or 109.. Basic understanding of zero was accomplished through the Babylonians with their use of two small dashes, sometime around 300 BC, but they never took the concept to it's logical conclusions..

Beginning around 2,200 BC, indigenous peoples along the South Atlantic Coast and especially around Sapelo Island, GA began creating massive shell rings, which functioned as villages.

The earliest known pottery was created in what is currently eastern Georgia, at least as early as 2500 BC. About two to three centuries later, it appeared in South America. The earliest know planned community with extensive earthworks was at Poverty Point, Louisiana, which began construction around 1600 BC. (See articles on Watsons Brake, Sapelo Island and Poverty Point.) Pottery was being produced in the Southeastern United States and northwestern South America for almost a millennium before it appeared in Mexico.
