The Olmecs were the earliest people to settle in Mesoamerica. They were an advanced people who established trade connections with neighboring empires such as the Tlatilco. They thrived from 1500 BC to 800 BC. However, the reasons for their decline are unknown.

The Olmecs where one of the first people to settle in Mesoamerica, and while it is not clear who were the earliest people of all in this region, it is clear that the Olmecs were the earliest civilization in Mesoamerica.

They were very sophisticated for their time, and were great builders, engaged in art, astronomy, mathematics. The Olmecs had very big influence in the region and they also traded with most of the people in the surrounding area, such as the Tlatilco people.

The Olmec culture is considered the mother culture of all cultures in Mesoamerica that emerged after it, and that is very easy to see in the Maya and Aztec cultures.
