Teotihuacan means "place were gods were born" reflecting the Aztec belief that the gods created the Universe here. It is the largest archaeological city ever to exist on the American continents. It's history is said to have begun around 600 B.C, and arose as a religious center in Mexican Highland around the time of Christ. But, to this day, nobody knows how the pyramids even got here.Ancient Teotihuacan is the second largest pyramid in the world, the pyramids of Egypt is the only larger one. The Pyramid of the Sun is 746 feet wide and 213 feet high. We climbed all the stairs... all 248 steep stairs. Those little white dots in the background are people...which shows how high we were climbing.
Here is me and grampa at the top of the Pyramid of the Sun. There was an amazing view... I will post more about our trip to the Pyramids tommorrow.
