The Olmec People

The Olmec people were the earliest known major Mesoamerican civilization, reaching their peak during the period 1500-400 BCE. It is well-known that the cultures that succeeded them, such as the Maya, had sophisticated writing systems, but although the Olmec people inscribed hieroglyphs, scholars have not reached a consensus as to whether these represent language, or are even an early example of writing.
