Mexico´s Great Pyramids

A 2,000-year-old urban wonder, the vast city of Teotihuacan was one of the largest settlements of the ancient world. Yet the Teotihuacanos never developed a writing system and left behind no sculptures to document their culture. Who were the people who built this stunning city? Who were their kings and priests? Did they, like their Mayan neighbors, practice human sacrifice?
