在1500多年的历史中，曾先后有多个民族在赫奥尔巴山居住过，他们包括奥尔梅克人、萨巴特克人和米斯泰克人。在阿尔班山考古遗址有许多梯田、水坝、运河、金字塔以及人造山，这些都是在山上开挖修建出来的，是神圣地形学的标志。在阿尔班山考古遗址附近的瓦哈卡市采用的是纵横交错的城市格局，展示了西班牙殖民时期城镇规划的一种范例。城市中的建筑结构非常坚固，说明这是为了适应当地地震多发的情况而设计建造的。

Inhabited over a period of 1,500 years by a succession of peoples – Olmecs, Zapotecs and Mixtecs – the terraces, dams, canals, pyramids and artificial mounds of Monte Albán were literally carved out of the mountain and are the symbols of a sacred topography. The nearby city of Oaxaca, which is built on a grid pattern, is a good example of Spanish colonial town planning. The solidity and volume of the city's buildings show that they were adapted to the earthquake-prone region in which these architectural gems were constructed.
