The Olmec inhabited southern Mexico.Their Civilization was established aroud 1400 B.C and lasted for an estimated 1,000 years. It is believed that their religion was based on Shamanism.<\/p>\n

They were exceptional farmers, artists, mathematicians and astronomers.They wrote in hieroglyphics.<\/p>\n

The Olmecs are probably best known for the mysterious massive Stone head sculptures resembling African warriors they left behind.<\/p>\n

They did not build multiple massive constructions like the Aztecs, Mayans and the Incas however they did leave behind a pyramid which is located in the Mexican state of Tabasco in the La Venta dig site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
