Seems to be an eclipse at that date, if they weren’t able to predict them, they had to have seen it.

Now that piques my interest. Could you be more specific?

Using Stellarium, set the location to Tres Zapotes, but not knowing how far off the calendar's reckoning would be, the closest I have come is a partial solar eclipse, after 9pm on September 1, -23.

Stellarium literally indicates a "Year 0" so BC years could be off-by-one, or off-by-Julian-and-equinox-precession, I just have no idea.

Wikipedia doesn't list any [Lunar/Solar] that are anywhere near 32 BC.

		Sorry that was in French https://peuplesautochtones.wordpress.com/2022/05/21/sites-ar... “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.
