Located in the Valley of Mexico, Teotihuacan was populated by farmers and traders. However, the true identity of the people is a mystery. The city was impressive due to its organization and architecture. It has well-planned streets and grand buildings, such as the Pyramid of the Sun.

The Olmecs are one of the oldest civilizations in the world, being considered the first civilization with great influence and power in Mesoamerica. They are believed to have existed in the mid 1200 to 400 BC. There are reports of the existence of the Olmecs in regions close to the Gulf of Mexico, which indicate that this civilization occupied this region for a long time.

The Olmecas had a strong agricultural production, being a society that was able to support itself, thanks to the availability of food and modern agricultural techniques. In addition, the Olmecs were great artists and presented sculptures of high artistic value.

This characteristic greatly influenced the architecture of the city of Teotihuacan, which served as a type of shopping center and featured great architectural works, extremely well constructed and organized, representing real monuments.
