The first culture to build cities in the Americas was probably the Olmec. They lived along the Gulf of Mexico beginning around 1200 BCE and built pyramids in the jungle. Though they were forgotten until 1862 when a man stumbled upon some of their remnants, the Olmec culture is sometimes called the Mother Culture of Mesoamerica because they strongly influenced the societies that would follow. It is possible that the Olmec were the first civilization in the Western Hemisphere to develop a system of writing. Some of the Olmec were sculptors and artisans. They were ritualistic people, governed by both kings and priests. They also traded with other peoples and may even have come up with a calendar. Olmec items have been found in various parts of Central America, but the Olmec is most famous for the large stone heads they carved.

Which of the following is most likely true?

A
Later societies carried on some Olmec traditions.

B
As soon as the Olmec were gone, they were forgotten.

C
The Olmec did not have a form of government.

D
The Olmec probably came after the Inca.
