Question

deleloped first writing system. Maya, Olmec, or Zapotec

Answer 1

The Olmec civilization is generally credited with developing one of the earliest writing systems in Mesoamerica. The Olmec script, which dates back to around 900 BCE, includes symbols that are considered precursors to later Mesoamerican writing systems. However, the Maya civilization is known for developing a more complex and fully functional hieroglyphic writing system by around 300 CE, which is perhaps the most sophisticated of the ancient Mesoamerican writing systems. The Zapotec civilization also had its own writing system, but it was developed after the Olmec and Maya.

In summary, while the Olmecs are often recognized for their early contributions to writing, the Maya later developed a more advanced system.
