Faces of
Mexico –
Teotihuacán (translated from the Nahuatl as "City of the
Gods")
by Bill
& Dorothy Bell
Just 30 miles outside
Mexico City lies the great ancient city of Teotihuacán.

Note the Pyramid of the Sun to the right.
 Pyramid
of the Sun
Teotihuacán
was built in the Classic Period around the time of Christ and grew into the
fourth century from 60,000 to 80,000 inhabitants to 125,000 making it the 6th
largest city in the world. It had a well defined class structure, calendar,
and its inhabitants created a written language and numbering system. It was
the leading trading and political centre in Mesoamerica.
 Quetzalcoatl
- the feathered serpent
It was named Teotihuacán by
the Nahual after the city’s demise – the original name and the name of the
ethnic groups who founded the city are still unknown. The City’s sudden
collapse in the seventh century was marked by fire and the plundering of the
sacred buildings. It’s trading and religious influence waned.
 Climbing
the Pyramid of the Sun
The city was built along a 2 mile main road called
Avenue of the Dead with ceremonial centers, housing for the upper classes
and monuments lining the way. The Pyramid of the Moon is located at the far
Northern end of the Avenue flanking a large ceremonial plaza. Right next to
it is the third largest pyramid in the world and the largest stone pyramid
in all of Pre-Columbian America; the Pyramid of Sun, 738 ft. on each side
and about 213 ft. tall.
Take a good camera and
plenty of fluids. Wear proper walking shoes so you can walk, and if so
inclined, climb up the stairs to the top of the Sun and Moon. It is an
experience you will never forget.
You can visit this Teotihuacán while staying in Mexico
City; tour busses arrive hourly. If you are taking your rig there is a
campsite in the nearby town that has full hookups for your stay.

"This is the second year we have used Bill and Dots 'ontheroadin" Mexican
logs for travel on the coast and interior of Mexico. They are easy to use,
save a lot of indecision and more than a lot of arguments as to where one
should turn or where there is a Pemex large enough for a large rig with a
tow. We appreciate all the work they have done to make traveling in Mexico a
great and easy adventure."
