The Americas

After learning about the history of the Americas, I realized that it's much more complicated than I once thought. I found the Olmec to be most interesting within this period. The Olmec were the first civilization in the America. The name Olmec means "rubber people" in Nahuatl. It was the Aztec name for the people who once lived in this area, and extracted latex from rubber trees. The word Olmec also refers to the rubber balls, used for the ancient ball game.
