The Olmecs, one of the oldest civilizations in Mesoamerica, and craddle of many of their customs and technologies. Their devotion to the stars was reflected particularly in the importance of the Venus Cycles which would be the origin of the Mayan and Aztec calendars. Their warriors would be blessed on such cycles, in special ceremonies, and be known as the Konukswu, the Hallowed Ones. We know few things of the Olmecs, but even now we can see the remains of this great civilization thanks to their buildings and specially their Colossal Heads all over La Venta. In Civilization V they are a tech-oriented civilization that can influence others with their discoveries and their greatness.
