Teotihuacan


Here is what we came to witness, The Pyramid of the Sun. Now be careful since the steps towards the top are very short, these steps aren't as big as the ones we are used to. Construction on this site was started sometime around 100 A.D. It is about 738 feet across and 246 feet high. This pyramid is located at what was once the heart of the entire city. As you can see by it's size, this building was very important to the Aztec people. It was once covered by brightly painted murals and at one point in this pyramids history had an altar on its top, but has since been either destroyed or eroded away by mother nature. As you can see many tourists and locals still climb the pyramids on a daily basis.
