The Olmecs were one of the first civilizations in Mexico. This is where they developed Hieroglyphic writing and made one of the first Calendars. This was a big thing for the civilizations because now they could record their histories and we can know alot more about them now. The most important temple in that group was the La Venta which was the first city like temple. The center had a bunch of burial mounds, headstones, and pyramids. The Olmec art included alot of decor items too, along with murals and painting.
Another civilization was the Aztecs and the most important thing about them was the Chinampas. The cool thing about this is that they make their farming spots in little beds above the swampy area and then they do not waste regular land on it. (Shown below picture 2)
