The ancient 'Olmec civilization' is now considered to be one of the 'earliest great civilizations' in Mesoamerica.
EXPLANATION:
It is believed that from 1200 years BC to 200 years ago, these civilizations flourished in Central America and surrounding areas. So far archaeologists have found authentic signs of Olmec civilization in four places named 'Laguna de los cerros', San Lorenzo, Tres Zapotes and La Venta.
Because of the presence of rubber trees surrounding them, the founders of this civilization are called 'Olmec' because the rubber is called Ollin in its local language. Olmec civilization is also known in the local language as the Cultura Madre i.e. 'Mother Culture of Central America'.
