The Olmec civilization most directly influenced both the Maya and the Aztec. As one of the earliest Mesoamerican cultures, the Olmec established foundational practices in art, architecture, and religious beliefs that were adopted and adapted by later cultures. Their developments in writing, calendar systems, and urban planning set the stage for the complex societies that followed, including the Maya and the Aztec.
The Maya and Aztec
The Maya influence was more direct than that of the Olmecs because the Maya civilization thrived only a few hundred years before the Aztecs.

Present-day Peru is primarily associated with the Inca civilization, not the Maya or Aztec. The Inca Empire was centered in the Andes region and is known for its sophisticated society, architecture, and extensive road systems. The Maya civilization thrived in present-day Mexico and Central America, while the Aztec Empire was based in central Mexico. Therefore, neither the Maya nor Aztec directly represent Peru's historical legacy.
Aztec
The Mississippian civilization, specifically the city of Cahokia, is known for constructing the temple mounds. These mounds were influenced by the earlier Middle American civilizations such as the Maya, Aztec, and Toltec, who also built pyramids and ceremonial centers.
The Maya civilization fell much sooner than Aztec civilization.
Maya
Some aspects of Olmec culture that influenced Maya and Aztec civilizations include complex ceremonial centers, the importance of maize in their economies, and the use of hieroglyphic writing systems. Additionally, the Olmec likely influenced the development of calendars, religious beliefs, and artistic styles in these later Mesoamerican cultures.
