Sorry that was in French https://peuplesautochtones.wordpress.com/2022/05/21/sites-archeologiques-olmeques-tres-zapotes/ “Il a été proposé qu’elle puisse commémorer une éclipse lunaire qui a précédé une éclipse solaire de deux semaines.” >”It was proposed that it could commemorate a lunar eclipse preceding a solar eclipse by two weeks” I was very lazy in my search, so I didn’t check anything about this page.
