Touristic stay in Mexico

Olmec people.

If it is a culture about which it is advisable to speak with the conditional ones, it is that of Olmecs.
Moreover, where civilization starts and where the culture finishes? The margin is fuzzy.
There exists despite everything sufficient elements making it possible to presume what was the way of life of these populations:
This culture extended from 1200 front - J.C. with 600 ap - J.C. on the Eastern coast of Mexico.
The olmecs had a writing in pictograms and had a calendar. They were also of skilful sculptors and carried out cave paintings. Their political organization seems to be centralized and to have rested on a religion of State.

Then, culture or civilization? In the current state of very compartmental knowledge on these people, we will risk to employ the term of precivilisation.
