• City and ruins of Teotihuacan.

• Ruins of Tulum.

• Excavations of the Aztec Main Temple (Spanish: Templo Mayor).

• Many objects found in the Chapultepec Castle and National Museum of History, including flags, furniture and personal belongings of Mexico's historic figures from the colonial days until contemporary Mexico (1521-1867).

• Many more objects found in the National Museum of Anthropology, such as Olmec, Aztec and Mayan exhibits from pre-Columbian Mexico (3000 BC - 1521). Examples of these would include:
