Question

which current artifacts reflect the influence of the olmec civilization on mayan culture?
○ ancient maps
○ written manuscripts
○ temples and pyramids
○ metal household artifacts

Explanation:

The Olmec civilization, a precursor to the Maya, established architectural traditions of constructing large ceremonial structures like pyramids and temples. The Maya adopted and expanded this architectural style, and these structures (still surviving as artifacts) directly show Olmec influence. Other options do not have clear, direct links to Olmec influence on Maya culture: Olmecs did not develop the complex writing system seen in Maya manuscripts, there is no major evidence of Olmec-influenced ancient maps in Maya culture, and metalworking was not a prominent Olmec cultural trait passed to the Maya.

Answer:

C. temples and pyramids
