Teotihuacan, located about 40 kilometers northeast of Mexico City, is one of the most significant archaeological sites in Mexico and Mesoamerica. The city was likely founded around 200 BCE and reached its peak until around 650 CE. With a population of over 100,000 inhabitants, it was one of the largest cities in the world at that time.
The city’s most famous landmarks are the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, impressive structures used for religious ceremonies and ritual purposes. A central road, known as the “Avenue of the Dead,” runs through the heart of the city and is surrounded by various buildings and structures.
Teotihuacan was home to a civilization known for its advancements in art, architecture, and urban planning. Despite lacking written inscriptions, researchers have attempted to interpret the city’s complex cultural legacy through its paintings and reliefs.
