Prehistoric Puzzle: Three Gigantic Stone Heads Of Unknown Origin

A. Sutherland  – AncientPages.com – This intriguing image carved into a huge rock face must be very old but no one knows how old it is.

The rock itself is shaped like a pyramid, more than 15 meters (49 feet) high. According to local records found in the town’s administration, the pyramid along with the mysterious face was already there from before the city was found.

Not far, just 4 km from Monte Alto known for its prehistoric figures with magnetic properties, there was once (today destroyed) another artifact, which was unfortunately never explored.

It was a mysterious gigantic, at least 30 feet (9 m) head with very beautiful features discovered in the Guatemalan jungle. Its lips are thin, the nose is large and sharp and the eyes, what is perhaps most intriguing, are closed. The face carved in stone does not possess the facial features of the Maya or any of the other people known to have populated the region.

Why did someone want to carve this face? Was he a god-like figure or a giant perhaps?

What was his connection to ancient people humans?

The head is not similar to the Olmec’s carved heads. Is this an anomaly of the Olmec period or is it part of another, unknown culture that predated or post-dated the Olmecs?

The Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the K’iche’ Indians of Guatemala, refers to the “first race of men”, those “before the flood”, who possessed all knowledge, studied the four points of the horizon and all secrets of the sky because their astronomical knowledge had no limits.
