OLMECS ERA (apr 14, 1400 BC – dec 18, 400 BC)
Description:
The olmecs were able to start hunting, farming and fishing making it able to feed the population then largely increase it. Later on, they were able to create a government system and making pyramids and large platform mounds; agriculture; a writing system; and a characteristic sculptural artistry including enormous stone heads with heavy features reminiscent of angry babies. The first dynastic calendars were being used. Eventually, the olmecs vanished out of thin-air with many theories.
