Olmecas, ubicación, cual era su origen, características, cuando desaparecieron, dioses, historia. Los olmecas fueron la cultura madre de América central, debido sobre todo a su extraordinaria escultura, no solo por su calidad estética sino por su adelanto técnico (Ojo: en la región no había este tipo de piedras , basalto duro y volcánico, de varias toneladas de peso) para esculpir estos monolitos, lo que supone una gran organización y desarrollo para traerlas, desde lejos, colocarlas y esculpirlas).

Undeterred by this failure he had solicited and received of Charles V. the position of governor over Florida, a territory at that time embracing the whole southern part of what is now the United States, and reaching from Cape Sable to the Panuco, or River of Palms, in Mexico.

The Mexicans took up arms, only to be defeated again and again by the Spaniards. Montezuma became a vassal of the Spanish crown, and covenanted to pay annual tribute. Attempting to reconcile his people to this agreement he was himself assailed and...
