WHAT CAN I SEE?

Archaeology of Teotihuacan

 

Pyramid of the Sun:

The Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan was built in the first century BC and is slightly smaller than the Great Pyramid of Cheops, millions of stones were used in its construction and is designed to match the two days a year (May 19 to July 25) when the sun hits directly to the pyramid noon. In 1971 archaeologists found a cave (closed to the public) supposedly formed by a cave underground and there is speculation that was used as a sanctuary where he carried out various types of rituals.

Pyramid of the Moon:

This pyramid appears to be as high as the sun that is built on higher ground, was built a few meters later, you think that was erected just after the end of the sun. Needless to say, the best view of Teotihuacan is obtained just the tip of the pyramid of the moon where you can admire the grandeur of its construction.

 

 

Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl:
This construction is observed and is presented right from the entrance, at first glance this appears to be quite complex than the other two pyramids, but everything is a visual effect, if you make a walk to the rear of the building you will find a pyramid that was constructed between AD 1 and 135 DP, the temple has images of Tlaloc (rain god) and Quetzalcoatl (Feathered Serpent).
