Did the Olmecs have a golden age?

The Olmecs, often regarded as the "mother culture" of Mesoamerica, did not have a clearly defined "golden age" in the same way some later civilizations did. However, they experienced a period of significant cultural and artistic development between approximately 1400 and 400 BCE, marked by advancements in sculpture, architecture, and the establishment of complex societal structures. Their influence laid the groundwork for subsequent Mesoamerican cultures, but the concept of a golden age is more applicable to later civilizations like the Maya or Aztecs.
