11. Who Was First?

Many believe that it was the Mayans who first discovered the cacao bean and created the process of making cocoa powder. However this belief is actually wrong. The original discoverers of cacao and makers of chocolate were the Olmecs who then passed on the information to the Mayans. Back then it wasn’t called cacao but rather ”kawkaw”. I guess the Olmecs should be known for chocolate rather than just for carving colossal stone heads for people to see.
