The heads are part of Olmec civilization of ancient Mesoamerica. The common reason why they made this because of their religious belief.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Olmecs are famously known for the statues they carved: 20 ton stone heads, quarried and carved to commemorate their rulers. They are the first known civilization in America and the first to have this unique kind of construction.

Like most of the early Mesoamerican cultures, Olmec also believed in three tiers of existence: the physical realm they inhabited, an underworld and a sky realm, home of most of the gods.

<u><em>Over time, its economic and military might waned and along with it, the empire's capacity to seize an opportunity. Add in civil unrest, natural disasters and powerful enemies such as the Arabs, Seljuk Turks, Bulgars, Normans, Slavs, and Ottoman Turks, and you can see why the Byzantine Empire eventually crumbled.</em></u>

How did the scopes trial went down
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

on July 10, 1925, the Scopes Monkey trial began in Dayton, Tennessee. High school teacher John Thomas Scopes was charged with violating Tennessee's law against teaching evolution instead of the divine creation of man. The trial was the first to be broadcasted on live radio.

On July 10, the Monkey Trial got underway, and within a few days hordes of spectators and reporters had descended on Dayton as preachers set up revival tents along the city’s main street to keep the faithful stirred up. Inside the Rhea County Courthouse, the defense suffered early setbacks when Judge John Raulston ruled against their attempt to prove the law unconstitutional and then refused to end his practice of opening each day’s proceeding with prayer.

In the courtroom, Judge Raulston destroyed the defense’s strategy by ruling that expert scientific testimony on evolution was inadmissible–on the grounds that it was Scopes who was on trial, not the law he had violated. The next day, Raulston ordered the trial moved to the courthouse lawn, fearing that the weight of the crowd inside was in danger of collapsing the floor.

There's more but this is a sum up of what went down

Hope this helps!
