Apr 15, 2013 - The Universidad Veracruzana presented the replica as a gift to the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies in 2008 in recognition of the close ties between the peoples of the United States and Mexico. Feb 22, 2007 - The Olmecs, for those unfamiliar with Precolumbian Mexico except through watching episodes of "The Simpsons", lived mostly in the present day Mexican state of Tobasco, which is on the Gulf of Mexico in the south. However, mistakenly applied the name "Olmec" to the rediscovered ruins and artifacts in the heartland decades before it was understood that these were not created by people the Aztecs knew as the "Olmec," but rather a culture that was 2000 years older. Jun 2, 2009 - The Olmec were an ancient Pre-Colombian people living in the tropical lowlands of south-central Mexico, roughly in what are the modern-day states of Veracruz and Tabasco on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Aug 30, 2013 - The Olmecs centred in the Gulf of Mexico (now the states of Veracruz and Tabasco) their influence and trade activity spread from 1200 BCE, even reaching as far south as present-day Nicaragua. Dec 31, 2009 - Sometimes the name may also cover other cultures like the Mexicas; and the Aztecs had a big empire that covered most of central and a bit of the south of Mexico, so anyone who spoke Nahuatl will be included in this excerpt. Feb 7, 2014 - That which we know the least about is often the most interesting. The ancient Olmec civilization is believed to have been centred around the southern Gulf Coast of Mexico area (today the states of Veracruz and Tabasco) - further south east than the heart of the Aztec empire. 1200 a group of nomadic hunters called the Aztecs migrated into Mesoamerica in search of food and wild game. They created the first civilization in North America. Sep 23, 2010 - Five hundred years before Rome was founded, the Olmec were building great cities with pyramids and ball courts. Oct 13, 2012 - Mexico: From the Olmecs to the Aztecs (Ancient Peoples and Places). Feb 27, 2008 - Olmec Indians, an ancient Indian people of Mexico. The complexities of Mexico's ancient cultures are perceptively presented and interpreted.” —Library Journal. Monumental sacred complexes, massive stone sculpture, The Olmec civilization presents something of a mystery, indeed, we do not even know what they called themselves, as 'Olmec' was their Aztec name and meant 'rubber people'. The Olmec were mesoamerica's first major civilization, and the original source of many cultural innovations that would later be expanded on and extended by subsequent cultures like the Maya and Aztec. A case in point is the civilization of the Olmecs. This flourished in Mexico between 1500 B.C and 400 B.C.
