In the 2nd century BC a new civilization arose in the valley of
Mexico. This civilization built the flourishing metropolis of
Teotihuacán and it’s huge step pyramids. The Pyramid of the Sun was
built around 100 AD and is 75 meters (246 ft (75) high making it the
largest building in Teotihuacán and one of the largest in Mesoamerica.
The construction of the smaller Pyramid of the Moon started a century
later and was finished in 450 A.D. Seven centuries after the demise of
the Teotihuacán empire the pyramids were honored and utilized by the
Aztecs and became a place of pilgrimage.
