These Semitic looking figure heads are were found in Mexico and are usually attributed to the Olmec culture that pre-dated the Aztecs. Note their beards, absent in natives of that land, and the floppy hat which is typical of Phoenician sailors.

Olmec statues are usually very rounded figures and as you notes without facial hair. Not sure how those figures get classified as Olmec.
Thanks!

And look at how creepy they are. No wonder the Romans went all Delenda Est on them.
