There were many Amerindian or Prehispanic civilizations in Mexico, however the Olmec, Teotihuacan, Aztec and Mayan were the most important - and advanced - in such region. Some other civilizations found there include:

  • Zapotec
  • Tehuacan
  • Tarascan
  • Mixtec
  • Totonac
  • Pipil
  • Itza (founders of Chichen Itza)
  • Ko'woj
  • K'iche
  • Kaqchikel
  • Poqomam
  • Mam
  • Tlaxcalan (who ultimately allied with Hernan Cortes to destroy the Aztecs)

These civilizations were much smaller than the four most important, such as the Tlaxcalan civilization, or collapsed or were destroyed before the arrival of Europeans during the 16th century, such as the Itza, who collapsed during the 1200 AD.
