This is a place of power. The Aztecs knew where to build their pyramids. They called this huge platform, “the place where the Gods touch the earth”. And it seems that such beauty cannot be built without divine help. How else we can explain that all the buildings are practically in perfect condition after two thousand years.
Teotihuacan is an ancient Aztec settlement, located near the city of Ecatepec de Morelos. After the first elements of the pyramids were found, thousands of archaeologists were working a lot. And now we have a huge complex with giant pyramids. The most famous buildings are the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon.
Even the smallest pyramids are huge! Once you climb to the top of it, you do not need to go to the gym for a year. Even if you remember the history of ancient peoples, and that such pyramids were using for cruel sacrifice, it still has a special energy.
The largest pyramids that catch the eye are the pyramids of the Sun and Moon. Both were built BC. The Pyramid of the Sun, built in 150 BC, is the third-largest pyramid in the world after the Giza pyramid in Egypt and the Great Pyramid in Cholulu.
The peculiarity of the pyramid is placed deep underground. This is a cave formed by the movement of lava. The Aztecs believed that this place is an ancestral home of the Nahua people. Archaeologists found out something about it after thousands of years. They said that the cave is not natural, but man-made. Once there was a tomb.
You can look at the pyramids for a long time, at sunset or sunrise. It is an unreal, otherworldly, magical view!
