What is known as the Olmec civilization arose sometime around 2600BC, along the lowland swamps of the Yucatan. It is thought that a confederation of shamans at the time decided to unite the disparate peoples of the lowland areas into stronger and larger communities, creating the first sophisticated cultures of the Mesoamericas, and which would come to influence all other great cultures thereafter, including the Mayan and Aztec civilizations.
