What were the olmec known for?

The Olmec civilization began about 1500 B.C. The Olmec settled along the gulf of Mexico and built large religious centers, like the La Venta. The Olmecs are most famous for their huge statues of heads. These heads were possibly those of kinds. They ranged in height from 5 feet to 11 feet. They weighed as much as 20 tons. The Olmecs made the heads out of volcanic rock called basalt. But there was no basalt where the Olmecs lived. The had to bring the rock from as far as 80 miles away. they might have carved the heads and then hauled them over land. But that would have been difficult since the Olmecs didn't use wheels. They also didn't use animals to pull heavy loads. The Olmec might have floated the basalt heads on rafts down rivers. Then they could have placed the carved heads on land. No one knows they could have gotten them up the hills.
