The Pyramids – Teotihuacán

I can see them just in front of me. It is a bit cloudy, so It is not to warm to walk around 1 kilometer which there is from the Bus stop to the Pyramid of Sun and The Pyramid of Moon, which Teotihuacán is famous for.

The two pyramids is the biggest in Mexico and is rising as to sculptures the closer I’m getting to them. I’m today here to show them to Mads. After 2 hours in transport, are we standing in front of the steeps to the Pyramids of the Moon. We are easily taking one step at the time. From the top do we have a great view over the Sun pyramid and the sight, which is having a surface area of 83 square kilometers. The Toltec has established the sight from around 100 BC to about 250 AD. Today can’t the archaeologists say when the city ended but their guess is between 7th and 8th centuries AD. At this time was it the biggest city in the pre-Columbian Americas with a population estimated at 125,000 or even more. The Site became a part of UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

The way from the top of the Pyramid of the Moon to the top of the Pyramid of the Sun is not that long. The Pyramid of the Sun is an impressive pyramid with its gigantic size that was completed by 100 AD. After climbing the steeps for around 5 minutes I’m I at the top. The view is impressive especially to think about the size at the city. How day have lived and how they have had the capability con make this huge construction work, thoughts that will never stop at this sight.
