Tell me about Chavin and how it compares to the Olmecs.

This is a very specific question m8, one about two cultures most people probably have never heard about. I don't think there is enough interest about these two to inspire significant discussion.

Norte Chico/Caral civilization is older than the Chavin by the way.

And the Tello Obelisk.

I could explain the entire cultures of the coastal zone and the andean zone, but I have to scan the entire pages I got. Maybe the next week I may do it.

That doesn't look Mesoamerican but rather South American.

Chavins were fucking assholes compared to the Olmecs. The Olmecs rocked out with their cocks out! I have a boner just thinking about the Olmecs!
