Why was the vast Olmec trading network significant?

Answer 1

Answer:

Trade routes would have carried Olmec cultural influences throughout Mesoamerica.

The Olmec created massive monuments, including colossal stone heads, thrones, stela (upright slabs), and statues. They may have been the originators of the Mesoamerican ball game, a ceremonial team sport played throughout the region for centuries.
