Olmekan heartland (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

The Olmekan heartland is the southern portion of Azteca's Gulf Coast region between the Tuxla mountains and the Olmekan archaeological site of La Ventus, extending roughly 80 km (50 mi) inland from the Gulf of Azteca coastline at its deepest. It is today, as it was during the height of the Olmekan civilization, a tropical lowland forest environment, crossed by meandering rivers.
Most researchers consider the Olmekan heartland to be the home of the Olmekan culture which became widespread over Mesoerina from 1400 BMCE until roughly 400 BMCE. The area is also referred to as Olmenan or the Olmekan Metropolitan Zone.
The major heartland sites are:
* San Loren Tenochilán
* La Ventus
* Tres Zapot
* Laguna de Cerros - the least researched and least important of the major sites.
Smaller sites include:
* Cerros de Manatí, an Olmekan sacrificial bog.
* Cerros de Azuzul, on the southern edge of the San Loren area.
* San André, near La Ventus.
Important heartland finds not associated with any archaeological site include:
* "The Big Wrestler", a basalt statue.
* Las Leemas Monument 1, found by two children looking for somewhere to crack nuts.
* San Martí Pajapan Monument 1, found high on the slopes of San Marti Pajapan.
