No, the Olmec civilization lived in the lowlands of present-day Mexico, particularly in the Gulf Coast region. They were known for their monumental architecture, such as their famous colossal stone heads, and their sophisticated artistic and religious practices.

The Spanish did not attack the Olmec civilization, as the Olmec civilization had already declined centuries before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the Americas. The Olmec civilization existed primarily in what is now Mexico from around 1400 BCE to 400 BCE.
The Olmec civilization preceded the Aztec civilization, with the Olmec society established in Mesoamerica around 1400 BCE. The Aztec civilization emerged later in the 14th century and eventually conquered territories that were once part of the Olmec civilization. While they are distinct civilizations, there is evidence to suggest that the Aztecs were influenced by the Olmec culture.
The Olmec head stones, also known as the Olmec colossal heads, weighed between 6 and 50 tons each. These massive stone sculptures were created by the Olmec civilization, one of the earliest Mesoamerican civilizations, and are renowned for their size, craftsmanship, and artistic detail.
The Olmec stone heads were first found by archaeologists in the 19th and 20th centuries in Mexico. They were discovered buried in the ground at various sites in the Olmec heartland, leading to their excavation and study by researchers.
