The Maya and Olmec civilizations came before the Toltecs in Mesoamerica.They took it as a sign to build their settlement there. Draining the swampy land, they built islands. They planted gardens and built their capital city, Tenochtitlán.
Their very successful irrigation and farming methods created crops of corn, beans, squash, potatoes, tomatoes and avocados.
The Aztecs probably began as a nomadic tribe in northern Mexico. They arrived in Mesoamerica, the area between central Mexico and northern Costa Rica, around the beginning of A.D. 1200.
