The oldest known civilization in Mesoamerica is the Olmec, which thrived around 1400 to 400 BCE. They are often considered the "mother culture" of later Mesoamerican societies, such as the Maya and Aztecs, due to their influential art, religious practices, and the development of early writing and calendar systems. The Olmec are particularly renowned for their colossal stone heads and intricate jade carvings.

The Olmec civilization, often considered the "mother culture" of Mesoamerica, is notable for its colossal stone heads, which are believed to represent rulers or important figures. They also developed a complex society with a hierarchically organized political structure, engaging in trade and creating significant urban centers like San Lorenzo and La Venta. Additionally, the Olmec made advances in art, religion, and early writing, influencing subsequent cultures in the region.
The Olmecs were one of the oldest civilizations of Mesoamerica. What is known about the Olmec people is known from the artifacts that were found. In fact, the discovery of this ancient civilization happened by accident. A farmer was clearing land and he found a massive stone head. Later, 17 stone heads were discovered. Visit the Latino Studies Resources website from Indiana University to see one of these massive stone heads: The discovery of these heads helped the scholars learn about a new civilization that they named the Olmecs. Olmec means "people from a place of rubber trees." The Olmec civilization is quite a mystery. Scholars continue to study its origins and its mysterious disappearance. Still most believe that the Olmec civilization was the "mother" of all Mesoamerican civilizations. This means that it came first.
Many civilizations created stone heads, but the most impressive may have been the moai of Easter Island. However, to be honest, they aren't stone heads; they are just buried up to their necks! When excavated, they are a head and torso, down to the hips.
