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.
The Olmecs "only art" is not only their famous Colossal heads, they also made small figurenes, statues, and Jade masks for their decesed leaders.
Archaeologists may find arrowheads in their excavations of ancient ruins, ancient battle fields or even arrowheads discovered in the Western Hemisphere. These findings may indicate their age, tribal origins or the stages of arrowhead history. For example, early ancient arrowheads were made from sharpened stone. Later as civilization progressed, metal arrowheads are also discovered that provide important information on ancient cultures and civilizations.
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.

The Olmec were the first civilization in the Americas {Not the first people}. When they arrived is not known, but a guess of 8,000-4000 B.C. should do. Recent research suggests that the Olmec had their roots in early farming cultures of Tabasco, which began between 5100 BCE and 4600 BCE.
