Lectures by Dr. Rashidi
\n
The goa l of the tour is to see all twenty of the Olmec heads on one visit. To my knowledge this has never been done before. Few people have actually seen a ll twenty heads. Runoko Rashidi is one of those few.
\n
The Olmec civ ilization of Mexico is one of the world’s great civilizations and the pare nt civilization of the Americas. It is the American equivalent to the Nile Valley civilization of Africa and began four-thousand years ago. At the h eart of the Olmec civilization are twenty gigantic stone heads–all of them with African features. On this tour\, for the first time in history\, we intend to visit all twenty of the heads in the course of one tour. This ma kes the tour historic. In addition to the heads themselves\, all of the ma jor Olmec artifacts in Mexico will be viewed. You will visit the site of t he first city in the Americas\, the first pyramid in the Americas and the largest pyramid in the Americas. And all of this with the noted historian Runoko Rashidi. This is a tour that you don’t want to miss. I invite you t o be a part of history and join a tour that has been years in the making a nd planning. Mexico is a safe and friendly place and we are going to give you an experience like never before. And\, of course\, there will be time for shopping and time on your own for you to spend as you like! It is a tr ip of a lifetime! So come to Mexico with me!

\n
Then\, visit Raqchi ruins. These ar e the best and – to this extent – only surviving ruins that have adobe wal ls still sitting on a base of Inca rock walls.
