It was decent i guess... I no a guy named cole and he came in a guy named Kevin kryger and then they jerked in each others eyes Very rough, although they carved stone faces out of rock for art. They also played a game using a rubber ball. It was hazardous; the ball was heavy and killed people. The Mayas copied many lifestyles of the Olmecs. Learned about this in S.S. class 2 days ago.
The Olmec creation that was adopted by most early Mexican cultures is the ballgame. The Olmec were the earliest known civilization in Mesoamerica to develop this game, and it became an important part of religious and social life for many later cultures, including the Maya and Aztecs.

The Tuxtla Mountains were significant to the Olmec civilization primarily due to their abundant resources, particularly the volcanic stones used for carving monumental sculptures and religious artifacts. The region provided a strategic location for agriculture, benefiting from fertile soils and a favorable climate. Additionally, the mountains served as a natural barrier, helping to protect and define the Olmec territory, which was crucial for their cultural and political development. Overall, the Tuxtla Mountains played a vital role in the economic and spiritual life of the Olmec people.
The Olmecs mysteriously disappeared some 1,000 years after their civilization began. There are many theories of what could have happened to the Olmecs. Perhaps warfare caused the demise and destruction of the Olmec people. Others say that Olmec city life attracted many people but the farming could not produce enough food to feed all the people. This lack of food could have wiped out the population. Yet other scholars believe that the Olmec people simply blended in with other civilizations. Their culture spread throughout much of Mesoamerica, so perhaps they simply went to other civilizations that were more economically sound. Archeologists simply do not know what happened to the Olmec people, but they are certain that their traditions and ways spread throughout Mesoamerica. In addition, archeologists are sure that the Olmecs were the "mother" of all Mesoamerican civilizations.
The Olmec used jade primarily for religious and ceremonial purposes, crafting intricate jewelry, figurines, and masks. Jade was considered a symbol of status and power, with its green color representing life and fertility in Olmec culture.
