The Olmecs became rich primarily through their control of trade routes and their ability to produce valuable goods, such as rubber from the tropical rubber trees in their region. Their strategic location in the Gulf Coast of Mexico allowed them to trade with neighboring cultures, exchanging commodities like jade, obsidian, and pottery. Additionally, the Olmecs developed advanced agricultural techniques, enabling them to sustain large populations and surplus production, further enhancing their economic power. Their wealth was also reflected in their monumental architecture and artistic achievements, which demonstrated their social and political organization.

The Olmecs are often referred to as the "rubber people" because they were among the first civilizations in Mesoamerica to cultivate and utilize rubber from the sap of the rubber tree. They used this material to create various products, including balls for their ceremonial games and other artifacts. The name reflects their significant early contributions to rubber production and its cultural importance in their society.
The Olmecs used 3 calendars.
The first people known to develop rubber were the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica, particularly the Olmecs, around 1600 BCE. They extracted latex from rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) to create various products, including balls for games and waterproof items. The practice of rubber production and use later spread to other cultures in the region, including the Maya and Aztec civilizations.
