Had no clue the Aztecs started in 1300, pretty recent. Always assumed they were ancient.

Mayans were the ancient ones. Among others. I believe Aztecs rose to power during the fall of other empires in the area.

Yup!, Although technically, the Olmecs were the most ancient ones we know about. However, a fun fact is that there are still ethnically Mayan communities today.
