Beautifully written and intriguing article with eye-catching imagery. The city of Teotihuacan is one of the many fascinating mysteries of the Aztec empire. Although not much about this city is known historically, it is interesting how mythology played into the formation of the Aztec civilization. These tales provided the foundation for an ancient culture with stories rich with themes of life, improvement, revenge, and rebirth.

This is a fascinating subject to touch base on. I have always loved learning about the ancient civilizations of North and South america before the western world met the eastern world. The ancient Aztec’s architecture is fascinating because it makes me wonder how such great structures were made so early on in civilization and with such little technology.

I myself have heard many times of Teotihuacán but have never actually looked deeper into it other than that it was a great pyramid in Mexico. This article does a really great job of educating yet keeping the reader engaged in a quick glimpse of the aztec origins. I would definitely love to see these historic landmarks in Latin American history, to know that my most likely ancestors were capable of constructing a city so great. It is truly amazing to think about how these ancient peoples were able to construct giant pyramids and giant cities that had irrigation systems even with very little technology available to them.

I have always heard stories about the Aztec culture, but I had never delved into the subject as I did today with this great article. It is curious to compare how different cultures have different conceptions of the creation of the world, perhaps having as their only relation the use of mythological beings or gods. The Aztec culture can be recognized as one of the most varied and complex in history, also full of mysteries and big questions that we still cannot answer with certainty, such as: How was Teotihuacan built?

I grew up reading in my history books about this ancient city and how it was a metropolis full of trade and culture but never heard of such background history about all these gods and how they fought for the world. I’ve traveled to the marvelous city myself and climb the Moon pyramid and the architecture of the city isn’t comparable to anything, considering this was built over 690 years ago, which I consider a wonder for the knowledge these people had at the time.

Amazing article! I am wowed by the beauty and mystery of Teotihuacán. Although most people would say that mankind has evolved, especially within the last decade, I would not agree with that 100%. Yes, it is great that we have modern medicine and no caste systems, but there is beauty seen within this ancient civilization that is hard to find today. It would be great if there was some written form that could explain to us how they did it.
