There were several of them. "Ancient" usually concerns the Civilizations that existed anytime between about 4,000 BC until the first century AD. Most well-known are the Sumerian, Mesopotamian and Persian civilizations and the Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilizations. In the Americas, the Inca and Maya civilizations, although younger, sometimes also are counted as 'ancient' civilizations.

What is now Latin America has been populated for several millennia, possibly for as long as 30,000 years, so it is difficult to name a specific "first civilization of Latin America". The ancient Olmec Civilization is considered to be one of the earliest civilizations in Mesoamerica. They developed around 1200 BC in the southern Gulf Coast area of Mexico. The Zapotec civilization developed around 700 BC in the Valley of Oaxaca in Mesoamerica. The Mayas, the Incas, and the Aztecs existed in Latin America before the arrival of Europeans.

The written records go back farther in Egypt than in China, although it is impossible to establish the precise dates for the first organized civilizations. The oldest Chinese dynasty (Xia) may have existed as early as 2200 BC, but written records do not begin until the Shang dynasty, around 1300 BC but perhaps as early as 1700 BC. Egypt has hieroglyphics dated to around 3200 BC.
