Both civilizations declined under circumstances that are still not entirely clear to historians.
Both the Mayans and Aztecs where polytheistic.
Several peoples of Native Americans qualify as such. Before contact with Europeans was established in 1519, there were by varying accounts, between 20 and 40 million people inhabiting the lands of present-day Mexico. Some of these include the Nahuatl, Maya, Zapotec, Mixtec and Otomi ethnic groups. Some of these peoples also had sprawling civilizations, being the most important the Aztec and Mayan civilizations.
The Olmec, Zapotec, and Mayan cultures were all Mesoamerican civilizations that shared similarities in their agricultural practices, reliance on maize, and the development of complex societies with hierarchies and religious beliefs. However, they differed in their political organization and artistic expression; for example, the Olmec are known for their colossal stone heads and influence on later cultures, while the Zapotec established the first major city in Oaxaca, Monte Albán, featuring a unique writing system. The Mayans, on the other hand, are renowned for their advanced mathematics, calendar systems, and monumental architecture, such as pyramids. Additionally, while all three cultures practiced polytheism, their specific deities and religious practices varied significantly.

No. "Mexican" is a nationality, which spans a diverse group of ethnic groups, such as mestizo, Mayan, Zapotec or Nahuatl.
The decline of the Mayan and Olmec civilizations was primarily due to internal factors such as environmental degradation, social strife, and political fragmentation, leading to a gradual decline over centuries. In contrast, the Aztec and Inca civilizations faced rapid collapse largely due to external pressures, notably Spanish conquest and the introduction of diseases like smallpox, which decimated their populations. While the Maya and Olmec experienced a slow decline, the Aztec and Inca civilizations faced abrupt and violent disruption that led to their swift downfall. Thus, the nature of their declines differed significantly in pace and causes.
Not at all. Wari' people are an indigenous people from Brazil (South America), while peoples from Mexico include the Nahuatl family (Aztecs, Tlaxcalans, Texcocans) as well as the Olmec, Teotihuacan, Zapotec and Mayan civilizations.
