It was a city built by the Teotihuacan people on 100 BC. It is usually mistaken to be of Aztec origin, but it is not the case: the Aztecs flourished as an independent civilization in 1325 AD, almost 1400 years after Teotihuacan was built. In fact, nobody knows for sure what is the actual name of the city; when the Aztecs discovered it, they called it as Teotihuacan (City of the gods) due to the gargantuan architecture of the place. It however, had been abandoned for centuries.
