Between 1500 and 350 B.C., the ancient Americas saw the rise of advanced civilizations in regions like Mesoamerica and the Andes. Cultures like the Olmec in present-day Mexico built impressive stone sculptures, developed early writing systems, and laid the groundwork for future civilizations. In South America, early societies began to flourish, with advancements in agriculture, architecture, and trade.
