Ancient Mexico
Ancient Mexico was home to several advanced civilizations, including the Olmecs, Maya, and Aztecs. These cultures developed complex societies with impressive architecture, such as pyramids and temples, and made significant contributions to art, mathematics, and astronomy. They also established trade networks and agricultural practices that supported large populations.
The Maya civilization, known for its hieroglyphic writing and calendar systems, thrived in the region from around 2000 BCE to 1500 CE. The Aztecs, who rose to power in the 14th century, built a vast empire centered in Tenochtitlán, now Mexico City. Both civilizations left a lasting legacy that continues to influence modern Mexico.
