The Olmec civilization thrived from approximately 1200 BCE to 400 BCE, making it one of the earliest known complex societies in Mesoamerica. They are often referred to as the "mother culture" of later civilizations in the region, such as the Maya and Aztecs. Their influence on art, architecture, and religion had a lasting impact on subsequent cultures in Mesoamerica.
Olmec
The Olmec civilization is generally considered older than the Greek civilization. The Olmec culture emerged around 1200 BCE in Mesoamerica, while the earliest Greek civilizations, such as the Minoans, began to develop around 2000 BCE. However, the more widely recognized classical Greek civilization, particularly the city-states of Athens and Sparta, arose later, around the 8th century BCE. Thus, the Olmec predates the classical Greek civilization by several centuries.
