The Olmecs are the earliest known major Mesoamerican civilization. They occupied the tropical lowlands of the modern-day Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco. It has been speculated that the Olmecs derived in part from the neighboring Mokaya or Mixe–Zoque cultures. Some scholars of African descent have also argued the possibility of African explorers visiting the Americas and establishing these ancient cultures. While this is a highly debated perspective, evidence of Egyptian and Phoenician exploration in the Americas abounds and is well documented.
