What was Olmec civilisation?
The Olmecs were the earliest known major Mesoamerican civilization.
Following a progressive development in Soconusco, they occupied the tropical lowlands of the modern-day Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco.
The Olmecs flourished during Mesoamerica's formative period, early Olmec culture had emerged, centered on the San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán
They were the first Mesoamerican civilization, and laid many of the foundations for the civilizations that followed.
Among other "firsts", the Olmec appeared to practice ritual bloodletting and played the Mesoamerican ballgame, hallmarks of nearly all subsequent Mesoamerican societies.
The aspect of the Olmecs most familiar now is their artwork, particularly the aptly named "colossal heads".
The Olmec civilization was first defined through artifacts which collectors purchased on the pre-Columbian art market in the late 19th century and early 20th centuries.
The main objectives of the Progressive movement were addressing problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption.
