There were several of them throughout the ages, but the three most important ones include:


  1. The Olmecs, who settled in the southern Gulf of Mexico around 3000 BC and are believed to be the progenitors of all civilizations that followed, since most of them copied some or all of their cultural traits.
  2. The Mayans, who first apperaed in the Yucatan peninsula and parts of Central America. They are also known for the mystery surrounding their own collapse, circa 900 AD.
  3. The Aztecs, who first appeared in central Mexico in 1325 AD, and who were ultimately destroyed by Spanish conquistadors in 1521.
