The European arrival in the Zapotec region began in the early 16th century when Spanish conquistadors invaded Mexico. This marked the start of colonization and significant changes in Zapotec society.
First Nations people began interacting with European explorers after the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492. The interactions increased as more European expeditions reached the Americas in the following centuries.
Monte Albán, located in the Valley of Oaxaca in present-day Mexico, was the political and economic center of the Zapotec civilization. It was a major urban complex and cultural hub for the Zapotec people from around 500 BC to 800 AD.
The first recorded European to see the Rocky Mountains was the Spanish explorer Francisco Coronado in the 16th century. However, indigenous peoples had inhabited and explored these mountains long before European arrival.
The Zapotec civilization was located in the southern highlands of central Mexico, primarily in the region now known as Oaxaca. They are known for their impressive architecture, intricate artwork, and advanced writing system.
The Olmecs likely influenced the Zapotec civilization through trade, cultural exchange, and possibly political alliances. There are similarities in artistic styles, religious practices, and architectural techniques between the two cultures, suggesting some level of interaction and influence. The Olmecs' sophisticated society may have served as a model for the development of the Zapotec civilization in Mesoamerica.
