The Olmec culture is often referred to as the "Mother Civilization of Mesoamerica" because it laid the foundational cultural, artistic, and religious elements that influenced later Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Maya and Aztecs. They are known for their monumental stone heads, complex society, and advanced agricultural practices, which set the stage for urban development and trade in the region. Additionally, the Olmec's advancements in writing and calendar systems contributed to the cultural legacy that subsequent civilizations adopted and adapted. Their innovations and cultural practices established a template for social organization and artistic expression that resonated throughout Mesoamerica.
