This is my question and I REALLY need an answer!
NO
The Olmec had a calendar based on observations of the sun and moon. They used this calendar to track seasonal changes and agricultural cycles, which were important for managing their crops and sustaining their civilization. The Olmec's calendar system demonstrates their advanced knowledge of astronomy and mathematics.
The Olmec calendar, which is believed to have been one of the earliest Mesoamerican calendars, consists of 18 months. Each month typically has 20 days, leading to a total of 360 days in a year. Additionally, there are 5 extra days, known as "nameless days," which are added to complete the solar year. This system reflects the Olmec's sophisticated understanding of time and celestial cycles.

The calendar system developed by the Olmec civilization was adopted by most early Mexican cultures. This calendar, known as the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, played a significant role in the civilizations that followed, such as the Maya and Aztec.
the mayans created the calendar around 613 B.C
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.
