Mesoamerica was home to several major civilizations, including the Olmec, Maya, and Aztec. The Olmec, often considered the "mother culture," thrived around 1200-400 BCE, with significant sites like San Lorenzo and La Venta. The Maya civilization, known for its advanced writing, astronomy, and architecture, had prominent cities such as Tikal and Palenque. The Aztec Empire, which emerged in the 14th century, centered around the capital city of Tenochtitlán, now Mexico City.
