The Mexican Pyramid is a large pile of earth with a temple at the top, and an external staircase that provides access to the summit.

Teotihuacan, located about 50km northeast of Mexico City is one of the most outstanding pyramid sites in Mexico. The name came from Nahuati language and means, The city of the gods or where men became gods. It is believed that the Aztecs gave the name to the city when they visited it. The ancient city was abandoned by its builders more than 500 years before Aztec culture emerged.

Teotihuacan is thought to be the first true urban centre in the western world, arising around the beginning of the Christian era. At the peak of its habitation, it is estimated to have a human population of between 125,000 and 200,000.

Almost at the centre of this ancient city stands the pyramid of the sun measuring about 225metres by 220 metres at the base. It has five terraces that rise to a height of 63 metres. To get to the peak, one must climb over 240 steps. To the north of the city is located the pyramid of the moon, with its top 40m high. These two pyramids once had temples on them.

Other Pyramids
