One of the most important people in the Olmecs Civilization is the Jaguar-man.The jaguar was a very important figure to the Olmec and some form of it was probably their principle God. It was referred to as a nahual, which is an animal that is so closely related to a certain man, that if the animal dies, the man will also die. The nahual can be the animal form of a God. Jaguars were the shamans of the animal world, the alter ego of the shaman.
