Why is so important the cacao bean?

In this collection I want everybody to know that with a simple object like a cacao bean, we can know and understand the development of the precolumbian groups. So, why is so important this seed? For answer this, maybe we can see another questions that support this one, for instance, where is the cacao bean come from?, how it reached other places and why?, what relevance it has in the economy of the mayas?, how it became the most popular candy of the world? We can keep inventing questions that lead us to understand the importance of the cacao been, but I want to all of us construct toguether the rest of it.
