What is the geographic region of the Olmec's?

The Olmec civilization thrived in the tropical lowlands of south-central Mexico, primarily in the modern-day states of Veracruz and Tabasco. This region is characterized by fertile soil and abundant resources, which supported their agricultural practices and contributed to their development as one of Mesoamerica's earliest complex societies. The Olmecs are often regarded as the "mother culture" of later civilizations in Mesoamerica.
