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 colossal heads, primarily associated with the Olmec civilization, were produced by the Olmecs themselves, one of the earliest Mesoamerican cultures. These monumental sculptures, carved from basalt, are believed to represent rulers or important figures and reflect the society's artistic and cultural sophistication. The heads were created between approximately 1200 and 900 BC and have been found primarily at sites like San Lorenzo and La Venta in present-day Mexico.

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.
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.
