The Olmec peoples Question 41 options:

a) replaced the Maya in Mesoamerica.

b) developed a system of hieroglyphics.

c) did not do any stone carving, preferring to work in copper and ivory.

d) developed their capital at the mountain fortress of Cuzco.

b) developed a system of hieroglyphics

Explanation:

Mesoamerica, like Mesopotamia, China, and Egypt, is one of the few places in the world where writing has developed independently. The deciphered Mesoamerican writing systems so far are logosyllabic, combining the use of logograms with a syllabary and are often referred to as hieroglyphic writing systems. Older Olmec pottery shows representations of what appear to be codices, suggesting that amate codices, and by extension well-developed writing, existed already in Olmec time.
