olmec
The Olmecs were one of the earliest Mesoamerican civilizations known for building the first cities in the region. They were skilled builders and constructed impressive stone monuments and pyramids in areas that are now modern-day Mexico.
The Mississippian culture of Mound builders were responsible for constructing the first cities in North America. They built large, mound structures in present-day Midwest and Southeastern United States between 800 and 1600 AD. These cities were sophisticated urban centers with plazas, temples, and residences.
No, the Mound Builders did not create the first calendar. The oldest known calendar is the Sumerian calendar from Mesopotamia, dating back to around 2000 BC.
One common element of Mesoamerican culture is the practice of polytheistic religion, where multiple gods were worshipped and revered. Additionally, Mesoamericans were known for their advanced agricultural practices, such as the development of maize cultivation and the creation of terraced farming systems. The use of hieroglyphic writing and sophisticated calendars were also important cultural elements in Mesoamerican society.
The first cities are believed to have developed in ancient Mesopotamia, particularly in the region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers (modern-day Iraq). Cities like Uruk and Ur are among the earliest known urban settlements.
The first explorer to look for the Seven Cities of Cibola was Francisco Vรกsquez de Coronado. In 1540, he led an expedition into what is now the southwestern United States in search of rumored cities rich in gold and treasures.

The Maya came first but the Olmecs were the first major Mesoamerican culture. The Aztec Empire is considered the most powerful Mesoamerican kingdom of all time.
Mesoamerican cultures commonly practiced agriculture, built monumental architecture such as pyramids and temples, developed complex hieroglyphic writing systems like Maya glyphs, and created advanced calendars such as the Mayan Long Count Calendar. They also had a complex social structure with rulers often considered divine.
The Olmacs, the first city builders in the Americas, constructed large plazas, pyramidal structures, and sculpted enormous heads chiseled from basalt.
The Olmec, they were the fathers of the mesoamerican culture.
100% sure it was the Zapotec. Not the Maya.
