From central Mexico to the northwestern border of Costa Rica, Mesoamerica was home to a group of advanced cultures for the 3,000 years prior to the Europeans arrival in the New World.
Four major Pre-Classic cultures - the Olmec, Nayarit, Colima and Jalisco – occupied what is now the country of Mexico. The Classical Period civilizations of the area were the Teotihuacán, the Maya cities, the Classic Vera Cruz and Zapotec center at Monte Alban. The Tarascan, the Huastec and Totonac, the Toltec, the Aztecs and the Mixtec are the notable Post-Classical Period cultures of this area.

In the western states, early cultures of Colima, Jalisco and Nayarit created a wide variety of pottery and terra-cotta figurines. These early civilizations are credited with many inventions, including astronomy, accurate calendars, engineering, a complex theology and mathematics.
