The Olmec civilization developed in south central Mexico in the 16th century BCE. The Olmecs flourished from 1500 BCE until about 400 BCE. The Olmecs laid the groundwork for other Meso-American civilizations that followed. The Olmecs are now known largely for their artwork, primarily their "Colossal Heads".
