Teotihuacan is located approximately 1,000 kilometers (about 620 miles) northwest of the main Olmec sites, such as La Venta and San Lorenzo, in present-day Mexico. The Olmec civilization thrived around 1200 to 400 BCE, while Teotihuacan rose to prominence later, around 200 CE. Although the two cultures are geographically distant and existed in different time periods, Teotihuacan was influenced by earlier Mesoamerican civilizations, including the Olmecs.

Teotihuacan, on the other hand, emerged later, around 100 BCE and reached its peak between 250 and 600 CE, situated about 500 kilometers (approximately 310 miles) northwest of the Olmec heartland. While both cultures were significant in Mesoamerican history, they existed in different time periods and geographic regions.

Unknown. The most probable cause is an invasion by Olmec forces. Commonly believed to have been built by the Aztecs, Teotihuacan was built by an unknown civilization which disappeared 800 years before the Aztecs reached the Mexico Valley in the 14th century. The Aztecs named the city as Teotihuacan (City of the Gods), but the actual name of the city and its civilization have been lost in the sands of time.
