About the Author
In pursuing his interest he found that Pre-Columbian civilization began in the Olmec culture some 3,500 years ago, apparently without any precedent cultural development. What inspired the Olmecs to develop the culture which gave birth to the the civilization is a riddle which led Mr. Gruener to devote years to academic research, consultations with respected authorities, and logical deductions.
The unfolding mystery and its unarguable solution gives an answer to the riddle and represents a significant scholastic achievement.
