  4. Mexico's Ancient Civilizations • Each civilization had a calendar; a ballgame, and the custom of building temples on "pyramids" • The Olmecs lived along the Gulf Coast, in the area that is now occupied by the states of Veracruz and Tabasco. Known as the mother culture. • The Zapotecs of Oaxaca were responsible for the construction of the first urban center of Mesoamerica, Monte Alban, around 500 BC. They also had ballcourts, buildings for astronomical observation and a writing system which has not yet been deciphered. • The Maya area covers the states of Campeche, Chiapas, Tabasco, the Yucatan and Quintana Roo, and stretches down into Central America. The Maya are well known for their advanced mathematical and calendrical calculations, as well as their knowledge of astronomy. • The Aztecs are perhaps the best known of Mexico's ancient cultures. They dominated Mesoamerica at the time of the arrival of the Spaniards in the early 1500s, but they had only existed as a civilization for some 200 years. The Aztecs were an efficient military power that in a short period came to dominate most of Mesoamerica. The Aztec capital Tenochtitlan is buried underneath Mexico city.
