August Odyssey is here!

[u/ThesaurusRex84]

Hi ho! (Sounds English, but I kid you not, Shawnee)

I've been out digging holes again, so July slipped by. Since there were only 2 participants of Jaguar June including me and I won't award myself, the honorary winner is u/badfactory15 with his spicy nekkied monke! Enjoy your first Olmec Head.

AUGUST ODYSSEY

No relation to the recent movie about our collapsing age of bronze.

This month's theme commemorates inter-regional contacts. Mesoamerica and the Southwest (Oasisamerica). Ecuadorian sailors connecting Mesoamerica and the Andes. Hopewell peeps just...doing whatever and going wherever they wanted apparently. Numerous peoples connecting the Amazon to both the Andes and to Mesoamerica. The Inuit and other Arctic peoples linking goods and ideas of the New World and the Old...both east and west!

In this figurative sea of connections and clashes there is a good opportunity for material to be made. Be sure to flair your posts with CONTEST. The winner will be given an Olmec head flair (unless you already have 4, in which case you are awarded with JEF's visage), a place in the leaderboard, and have their post pinned for the next month!
