The Olmec Civilization was from
around 1200 B.C. to 400 B.C.
The Olmec civilization thrived from about 1400 BCE to 400 BCE in Mesoamerica, primarily in what is now present-day Mexico. They are considered one of the earliest complex societies in the region.
Olmec communities went through a shift from small villages to larger centralized urban centers with complex societies. They developed monumental architecture, such as pyramids and ceremonial centers, and established trade networks that connected them with distant regions. The Olmec civilization influenced later Mesoamerican cultures in terms of art, religion, and societal organization.
The Inca and Olmec civilizations both developed in the Americas, with the Olmec appearing earlier in Mesoamerica and the Inca in the Andean region. They were both known for building impressive ceremonial and administrative centers. Additionally, both civilizations practiced agriculture and had complex social and political structures.
The Olmec had died out long before European settlement.
The concept of agriculture, which emerged during the Neolithic period, is depicted in this modern image. Agriculture was a major advancement in human civilization during this time as people shifted from a nomadic to a sedentary lifestyle and began cultivating crops and domesticating animals.
The Aztec civilization was a powerful Mesoamerican society with a sophisticated culture, including advanced agriculture, art, and architecture. They had a complex social structure and religious beliefs, centering around the worship of various gods. However, their empire was also characterized by continuous expansion through military conquest and tributary systems.
The Olmec's were the first major civilization in Mexico. They flourished during Mesoamerica's formative period, from 1500 BCE to about 400 BCE.
Olmec
Olmec civilization lasted from around 1500 B.C. until about 400 B.C. They lived in southern Mexico in the areas now known as Tabasco and Veracruz.
No, not they we know of. The Olmec were a mesoamerican civilization that developed well before the mayans developed. At the time of the height of the Olmec civilization, the mayans were still a relatively primitive group of tribes. They may have interacted, and the Olmec might have taken advantage of them, but the Classical Maya (those with pyramids, hieroglyphs, and calendar), had no interasction with the olmec.
The Olmec people first become known to us as a pre-Columbian civilization in the tropical lowlands of what is now south-central Mexico from as early as 1500 BC. The cultures from which the Olmec derived flourished in the area as early as about 2500 BC, but the first clearly Olmec center appears within the city of San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán around 1400 BC. The Olmec cannot be said to have "first settled" anywhere, because they developed from communities already in place in the region.
The Toltecs had a more direct influence on the Aztecs than the Olmecs because they were closer to the Aztecs in both time and geographic location.

At that time they didn't know about it. No one knew about North America at all.
Depends on time period. During the earliest history of Western Civilization (ancient Rome) it was centered around the Western Mediterranean. During the middle history of Western Civilization (medieval Latin Christendom) it was centered around Europe. During the modern history of Western Civilization (post 1492) it was and still is centered on the Atlantic Ocean due to European colonization of the Americas. Today, the Western world is also known as the "Euro-Atlantic world" because of that.
