What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The olmecs are one of the most baffling enigmas of the ancient world. Many anthropologists and archaeologists use the culture of the later mayans and aztecs to infer what the culture might have been.
I enjoy reading about the ancient mesoamerican cultures. But what an amazing culture. We are just now piecing their history together.
This brief history is detailed enough to satisy the main questions. The author avoids overly technical and obtuse detail yet delivers a highly readable enlightening and engaging lesson.
Cons
This is a scam and a glaring issue for amazon. I’m sorry, anonymous publications are unexceptionable. Deleted from library.

On page nine of the kindle edition i saw the following for example according to the book of mormon regarded as scripture by followers of latter day saint lds movement the olmecs were ancestors of the jaredites people who were said to have traveled to north and south america from somewhere in africa or europe in ancient times

Please allow me to clarify1 the book of mormon is regarded as scripture but not by some vaguely defined latter day saint lds movement
