Did the Olmec Civilization originate in Louisiana? - National Architecture & Design
The public's concept of the history of the Western Hemisphere typically assumes that the earliest advancements were in Mexico and that the Mayas were the first civilization. In fact, neither of these assumptions is true. During the period between 4000 BC and 1400 BC, Mexico lagged behind the northwestern South America and what is now the Southeastern United States. As was discussed in earlier articles, the earliest know “public architecture” in the Western Hemisphere is at Watsons Brake in northern Louisiana. About 500 years later, similar earthen architecture starts to appear in the foothills of the Andes Mountains.

A visit in a amazing paradise such as Mexico. How about that? What would become your reasons why you must have a trip to this place of outstanding scenery? Although Mexico is fancy with it's natural attractiveness still some people go here to learn and know more about it's background and rituals. Frequently visited cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta who are chosen more to be visited for their fancy cultural, ecological and traditional attractions instead of for their beaches. From the ancient ruins of the Olmecs, Maya, and Aztec, to the train routes used by the brash and legendary Pancho Villa, this scenic spots only rank second to the beaches of Cancun and Acapulco as the major reason why people come to Mexico.

November is Native American Heritage Month. Throughout this special month, the national edition of the Examiner will be publishing articles periodically on the architectural achievements of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. We will be visiting ancient settlements in remote locations, but also Native American heritage sites that might be just down the road from you.

The Spanish adventurer Hernan Cortez arrived at 1519 landing in the state of Vera Cruz, about 200 miles from the Aztec capital. The only mission for Cortez was to defeat the Aztecs and take their gold. This was a great and tragic time of the history of Mexico. The then emperor of the Aztecs died in a prison as part of his own palace.

Besides post-game ceremonies, the games were often occasions for frantic gambling amongst the Aztecs. Although Spanish missionaries did their utmost to eradicate the existing Mesoamerican ball game, some remnants persist even now in isolated Mexican villages. The modern version is known as ulama but the losing players live to try out again. THE END
