the Olmecs venerated mountains: an Olmec sculpture was found close to the summit of the San Martn Pajapan Volcano, and many archaeologists believe that man-made hills at sites such as La Venta are meant to represent sacred mountains for rituals. * +

he Olmecs considered certain man-made and natural places sacred. Man-made places included temples, plazas and ball courts and natural places included springs, caves, mountaintops and rivers. No building easily identifiable as an Olmec temple has been discovered; nevertheless, there are many raised platforms which probably served as bases upon which temples were built of some perishable material such as wood. * +

Aw that's an interesting read:)
I've always thought the Maya ( around about 2600 B.C.) Would have came B4 the Olmecs (I'm unsure,but think they we're around in 1400 BC),then the Inca and Aztecs?

Mayans as I understand would have been the 1st Mesoamerican civilisation, the Olmecs however could be argued as the first major Mesoamerican culture. I could be wrong tou. I'm glad u Mentioned the Olmecs , amongst the greatest ancient civilisations in history- Olmecs are frequently forgotten entirely, its been 15yrs since I've last heard sumone mention them:) * +
