As we walk down the "Avenue of the Dead" you can see the many smaller pyramids to the side of you. These are just ceremonial pyramids, the one we are heading to is knows as the "Pyramid of the Sun." This is the 3rd largest pyramid in the entire world, and yes that means bigger than some of the pyramids in Egypt.
Teotihuacan
On our next stop through the beautiful country of Mexico, we will be leaving Mexico City and heading north. Here we will find more of the Aztec ruins which we saw earlier in the trip. These ruins are located in what is now known as present day San Juan Teotihuacán municipality in the state of Mexico. There is much speculation as to who actually built these pyramids, whether it was the 'Toltec" natives, the "Cuicuilco" natives, or the "Totonac" people. What we do know however is that the city of Teotihuacan was at one time the largest city in the world, even larger than Rome, during the 5th and 6th century. Housing as many as 250,000 people.
