Teotihuacan



Teotihuacan was amazing!
It was Quite a bit of walking at quite a high altitude. But I think due to sprinting up the extreme number of stairs at our last hostel, it took quite a bit more to put me out of breath. From where we came in, there was a more than 2 mile road to the temple of the moon going north and there is still a lot to the south of the ruins they have not uncovered yet. I also didn't feel to resticted as to were people could and couldn't go.
The little dots on the stairs are peolple so you can tell how big it is.  Many pyramids were built level by level each dynisty, but the Temple of the Sun however, was built in one setting.

The jaguar is a main theme at many Mesoamerican sites. The jaguar was worshoped in one form oranimal towas associated with many thing some of witch are, the sun god, courage, caves, the unknown, political power, and other.


This is what all of the buidings were painted like in ancient Mesoamerica.
