The Olmec civilization primarily relied on maize (corn) as their main food source, supplemented by beans and squash, often referred to as the "Mesoamerican triad." They also engaged in fishing and hunting to diversify their diet, incorporating various local resources like roots, fruits, and nuts. The agricultural practices of the Olmec laid the groundwork for subsequent Mesoamerican cultures, emphasizing the importance of farming in their society.
No, not they we know of. The Olmec were a mesoamerican civilization that developed well before the mayans developed. At the time of the height of the Olmec civilization, the mayans were still a relatively primitive group of tribes. They may have interacted, and the Olmec might have taken advantage of them, but the Classical Maya (those with pyramids, hieroglyphs, and calendar), had no interasction with the olmec.
The four major Mesoamerican civilizations were the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, and Zapotec. The Olmec civilization was primarily located in the Gulf Coast region of present-day Mexico, while the Maya civilization spanned southeastern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Honduras and El Salvador. The Aztec civilization was centered in the Valley of Mexico, particularly around present-day Mexico City. The Zapotec civilization was mainly located in the Oaxaca Valley in southern Mexico.
