How would you describe the city of Teotihuacan?
It was a large city in Mexico some 40 kilometers (25 miles) north of today's Mexico City. Commonly mistaken to have been built by Aztecs, or being destroyed by Spanish conquistadors during the 16th century, this is not the case. It was home to 200,000 people during the 5th to 6th centuries - much earlier than Aztecs, who founded their capital 800 years later. Finally, it was attacked, sacked and burned by Toltec invaders during the 7th to 8th centuries. From the ancient city, only the great pyramids and temples persist, due to their building materials which include volcanic rock. Also the general layout, including the foundations of ancient Teotihuacan dwellings is still found. Please follow related links for images of Teotihuacan.
