The indigenous group that had the first truly complex society in the Americas and created a civilization in what is now Mexico and much of Central America is Olmec.

What is Olmec civilization?

  • Olmec culture is significantly older than any other civilization, having started in 1200 BCE.
  • Up to about 400 BCE, the Olmec civilization was thriving. Even though the Maya people began to reside in villages around 1500 BCE, they did not develop a sophisticated governmental system until much later.
  • Their civilisation peaked in sophistication and strength around 200 CE, which is when it became the classical Mayan civilization we know today.
  • The appearance of the Incas and Aztecs, who did so just before European contact, was significantly later.
  • Massive structures were built by the Olmec, including thrones, statues, stela (upright slabs), and enormous stone heads.
  • The Mesoamerican ball game, a ceremonial team sport played for centuries all over the region, may have been invented by them.
