Teotihuacan is well-known for its colorful murals painted on plastered walls. They can be found in the city's many apartment compounds as well as on other buildings identified as palaces and temples.
In the bus station north mexico city go to section 12. There are buses there that take you to and from the gates of the park very often all day. Its like $5 round trip and these ruins are not to be missed in Mexico. Think the park is 7-10 dollars. Get a bottle of water on the way in. Impressive ruins. Very impressive.

Teotihuacan is one of my favorites. I guess UNESCO sites are more visited. Which makes them more busy. Something that takes away from the experience. I like visiting ruins all by myself. Haus in Hawaii and various ruins in Arizona.
Great documentary, some names are not easy to pronounce. What I admire of foreigners who visit the pyramids is that they read its history. Many of us Mexicans don’t even bother to learn about our history, we just go there and to climb the pyramids and take pictures.
I find the language to be incredible, it shares practically nothing with any asian or European languages and even has many differences in comparison to the language of more northern native tribes.
The destroyed temple was a place to pray to the gods on the wall. you would come to raised platform, where a man will ask you which God you would like to pray to. on the wall to your right is a depiction of about 5 Gods, except where their heads should be, there to an empty disc, in front of you is an open confined area. The man at the stairs will give you a round disc representing the God you choose to speak to, you then kneel perpendicular to the wall depicting the gods, and say the prayer you are told as you bow to the ground putting your head to the disc and soon, the circle where the god's head was to be will turn watery as light comes in from above and in front of you directly to this circle on the wall, and soon you feel an entity come in on the light, and present itself from the waist up asking you what you want. The one I chose was blue and felt very imposing, as if his time was valuable and didn't want to be bothered. There are other God's you can choose from, I saw a painting of this wall at the top of this temple, and the article written was terribly interpreted of what it was or was for. My interpretation of this is that with one of the gods, who is reddish, can help you talk to the dead.
We can thank the Catholic priests who accompanied the Conquistadores for the methodical and near total destruction of all the religious temples, alters, codices and icons of the Mezo and South America civilizations in the name of Christ.
I think Mexico could learn a lesson from Egypt about how to market their past. Not with the beggars, scammers and trinket peddlers but with a formal effective government office that promotes and protects the epic structures.(they have one but it doesn't appear to do a very good job of it) The residue of the original colors used to paint the monuments remain. Why not use them to restore the murals and colors of a single structure to exemplify how grand a spectacle the structures once were?

The Ciudadela measures 233m across the front, equaling that of the Great Pyramid, and the Pyramid of the Sun originally measured 215m, which is identical to the Pyramid of Khafre. Both sites appear to be oriented towards Orion.
The largest pyramid is about 2 hours outside mexico City. Think its peobla it was a mound the Spanish built a church on but when they dug it up it was a long abandoned ruin. Only part has been uncovered. Its base is like 7x that of the great pyramids.
Beautiful documentary, blighted by so many mispronunciations. If a Spanish word has an accent on it, that syllable should be accented not the one after it! And what is a jagear? or Bass relief?
These temples didn't have "spanish" names. The names were from the people who built them. Ever wonder when they DNA test the mummies and people found at these sites they have no genetic connection to the people there today who call themselves Mexican?
@@unstableuncertainty4356 Not at the pyramids idiot the surrounding burial grounds you know a little place called a grave yard. The DNA doesn't match any of the inhabitants of the land that are currently occupying the land. Know what that means? They aren't the ancestors of the current people!!!
@@unstableuncertainty4356 Well in history the ancient Mexicans said those structures were there before any of their ancestors were there. Mexicans are just a mixture of the local primitive tribes and Europeans. Its funny since the Mexicans built these great civilizations and you are the original people why haven't built anything to that standard since?
@@jdgreen214 the olmec bones that were found in San Lorenzo, Mexico were tested and match the dna of the indigenous in Mexico today which is haplogroup A. When Mexicans do their dna, it comes back as indigenous Mexican, or indigenous Central America, or Native American. Idk where you got your information but todays Mexicans are descendants of the indigenous that inhabited Mexico before the Spanish invasion.
With so many ancient and old civilizations having similar serpent like dragons and creatures as magical and majestic beings makes you really wonder if there used to be some kind of large flying dragon type creature that did crazy things as it can’t be coincidence that all these civilizations from different continents all have such similar dragon like being they seemed to worship
No more than likely it had its origins in the sky. Imagine how well you could see the galaxy with zero light pollution. Imagine the ancients seeing an aurora borealis. So many creation stories involve serpents.
There is the star people in most cultures. But who can say whether it was just an advanced civilization teaching a less advanced. The older airships were made to look like birds.
They likely combined.birds with lizards and other reptiles and imagined a magical new creature existing in their minds. since birds fly they imagined this new creature could too as well.
@@famousx550 lmao no Mexicans don’t call descendants of the “Mayans” mayate. First of all Mexicans are descendants of all the indigenous tribes that were in Mexico before the Spanish arrival, and that includes the Mayas. Mexicans are descendants of the Mayans. Mayate has nothing to do with the Mayans.
@@famousx550 it’s not used for the Mayas in Mexico 🤦🏻♀️ the word mayate has nothing to do with Mayans. But I know that’s a popular rumor going around that black people made up to feel like they are somehow Mayan too 😂 but they’re not.
Deseo volver a este lugar que visite el año 2006!, no me imagino como puede ser dormir una noche en la pirámide del sol que fue la pirámide que subí corriendo hasta llegar a la punta y encontrarme con una vista impresionante panorámica! Nunca pensé y no creo en la teoría imaginaria de la ciencia que estás pirámides fueron construidas por 12 a 14 mil personas que trabajaron 10h por día y más de 100años para terminarlas!

Its what happens when you either do not have a written language or do not have a permanent way to preserve it such as engraving it in stone or on metal plates. When we're gone recovering our languages may be difficult since everything electronic will be long gone as will all books.
Devon H C The truth is everything people say are simply guesses. And guesses with very little information. These pyramids have been here for thousands of years, even the Aztecs had no clue who built it. They just found them one day. Practically nothing is known of the people who built these pyramids, they found a quasi-hieroglyphic writing under the pyramids but we don't know what it means. Most people confuse the Aztecs with whoever built the pyramids but they aren't the same people and separated by at least a thousand years.
@@visualonestudio Lies! these people found the people and the records of who these people were. Half of the history is underground at the Vatican. The rest the Spanish Europeans burned to help cover up whatever they were trying to hide.
@@visualonestudio actually the people that inhabited the area the Aztecs came to rule were the Toltecs, the Toltecs happened upon the ruins and decided to build their civilization next to Teotihuacan but in truth, they had no clue who built it.
@@visualonestudio I am from Mexico and it is known that when Hern arrived in Cortez the natives told him that these pyramids had not been built by them but that before they were covered with a perfectly cut oxidian queen, better than a diamond.
The mispronunciations make it hard for me to hear the information. The h is silent and the Nahuatl accent is on the penultimate syllable. And she pronounces some Spanish words as if they were in Italian.
No, the reason the Spanish were able to conquer the Aztec empire was due to the military strategy of divide and conquer, which has been used throughout human history
The feathered serpent can bring rain, and acts as a conduit for Male rites of passage into power. This was a place I visited when seeing a shaman Daniel who told me where to go, there is also a Temple for the Mexican Jaguar God in between the Sun and Moon Temple a good place to connect to the cosmos in meditation and prayer when wanting expanded consciousness powers....it works wonders.
I wish these people would have had a written language so we could get a glimpse of what life was like there. Then again the damn Spanish would have likely destroyed any book or manuscript they would have left behind.
This documentary on this Aztec site so awesome! I was amiring the Art work and the precision of rock placement and angles of the beautiful structures that are monumental. Just amazing this is so ancient yet looks so modern in it's design. And Red Wall Zone painted ??? Hazard zone maybe caution area. Only certain persons allowed on that level . Maybe?? Like outward warning. Since you mentioned no written or story about these people who lived here. Maybe obviously telepathic people of higher brain usage quite possible . If godlike . Language useage may be mind counciousness. Plants obviously had birds and butterflies around more trees and bushes for these to survive. I didn't see much plants around these structures. Massive burning of area possible. Or radiation or chemical leakage of sometype. if no plant regrowth ?? Or evidence of people in area. So a quick evacuation must have taken place. As it was called Death walkway. Why? Maybe that at it's ending . Something must have cleared out this Area! My opinion s . As I saw this video. My philosophical thoughts on this subject. Pillars obviously enjoyed nature. With it's artwork as it's displayed. As a creative art person myself. Your only display something like that to give it honor of what you enjoy or see. On a Piller they are beautiful and so skilled craftsmanship. Perfectly set in place. For all these centuries amazment 😁🙏🌅
@@Coconut____________214 they did the pyramids in tenochtitlan (mexico city now) but those pyramids on the video are not from tenochtitlan ... that's teotihuacan
Teotihuacan = Teo Ti Quan = + 32 ( Tulu Om ) + Jayesh Bhagwanji Chitroda. The story’s of Deen and Queen. This my Kingdom it was always created during the end of the first age and was a dedicated school of astrological mathematics. The people that are buried in the tombs are a line of teachers that taught at the location. This was an active Kingdom and during the 1400’s we decided to move the high castes to India and they are today known as Indian Hindu Gujarati Khumbars and the South Indian Hindu Tulu people. It was also part of my Bhagwan Ala Chitroda Empire and Bhagwan Godhra Chitroda Empire and has nothing to do with Christians or Muslims. The naming system is of my condensed Russian language Indian Hindu Om (3 i/x). And has a older name. During this time my ancestor Czar Teodor Chitroda of Russia was also known as Emperor of my Ala Empire and my Bhagwan Godhra Chitroda Empire that ended his Akbar Government in India Gujarat to start a new one. These history are summarised in extracts of my Bhagwan Vikram Aditya Chitroda history also known as Vikram and Betal. The entire Kingdom was made of and still is functioning as the Indian Hindu Khumbar Kingdom this like all other Indian Hindu Khumbar Kingdoms had Dark Brown eye colours. 🤴🏽🕉🔺➕
@@thedawg1632 lol I don’t think your knowledgeable enough to ever argue or the hopes you had on non Indian Hindus ever belonging to these majestic structures failed.
The ‘h’ in Teotihuacán is silent. Other than that, your pronunciation is excellent. Also, the ‘coat’ in Quetzalcoatl is pronounced ‘kwaht’ as in kumquat, not like the garment.

Not primitive, civilized cultures figured out how to build, measure, plant and live of the land. When the spanish arrived at Tenochtitlán they were surprised that they were civilized people living there, obviously they still thought they were slightly barbarian since they sacrificed humans and weren’t technically European civilized. Mesoamerica was civilized and proper, it had different indigenous societies that lived apart or coexisted together at the same time. Educate yourself before you spout nonsense, they had everything European civilizations had, knowledge, government, religion, calligraphy, modes of transportation and agriculture. They were more similar to the Egyptians to be frank.
In a regression, I remember standing while doing a ceremony, on the platform of the Pyramid of the Sun, knowing the people below did not understand what was at the top of the pyramid. I knew it was the main ship. We, the crew, got into so much trouble with the Council, that we went past the prime directive and interfered with the humans. But we liked them and gave them fire and so much more. We were told to destroy all of the things we had built. We buried most under so much dirt we never thought they would be found. We loaded the ship and had to return to the home world and were never allowed to leave again. Our symbol was a beautiful red flying phoenix. I often chuckle when it is called a feathered snake. This was very long ago.
@@michael85225 You're kidding ? Human sacrifices have been going on around the world for ages and is still done today by the occult. The Spanish lied as much or as little as any other people in world history. Many years ago, in my Chicano history class, we learned that some Aztec kings would erase and rewrite history to fit their narrative. Maybe it was the Aztecs that exaggerated to the Spanish in order to impress them?
Please learn proper pronunciation before creating a documentary. Your accent is no problem, but a lot of the pronunciation is incorrect. Otherwise, thank you.
They weren't gods just Mexican like us but very intelligent and this is where life on earth started this is a landing like an airport and you can breed 2brown puppies and get black white and brown puppies right that's how all races got started it's roots is all Mexican
"The Holy city of Teotihuacan"? When did Teotihuacan become holy? I hate people who ad more to an already established story. Just about every ancient site in the world was considered the place of their God's.
It was bound to be holy to someone at some time or they wouldn't have gone to all the trouble. Same seems to go with all ancient pyramids that exist to this day. All seem to be about the same degree of mysterious about something.
The Egyptian pyramids are waaaay bigger and grand but it’s impressive that the Aztecs had figured out how to use things like what seems like concrete or some early form of concrete as a binding agent for their walls and what not
Teotihuacan predates the aztecs by centuries, the area was inhabited by around 300 BC, and then the city proper grew rapidly around 100 BC to year 0 (birth of Jesus), it reached it's cenith around 400 AD to 500 AD and then went went into decline aroud 600 AD and was gradually abandoned in the comming centuries. The Mexica (Aztecs) arrived into the Valley of México (the area were Teotihuacan and Tenochtitlan/Mexico City are located) around the year 1300 AD, and founded Tenochtitlan in 1325, Teotihuacan had already been abandonded for about 700 years.

It’s monumental and beautiful. However the decadence of written texts makes me believe that the Mayans were more advanced in their knowledge.
Everything is destroyed we know nothing About nothing.
There is a particular structure in Teotihuacan that has the glyphs of the 20 days of the sacred calendar, and one of the areas of the city has a lot of Mayan influence like ceramics and frescoes in the mayan style, so it is likely that they were at least familiar with writing if not actually writting and it simply didn't survive, particularly if they were still developing writingand were doing so in Amatl paper for example, which we know they had.

Both sites appear to be oriented towards Orion.
The largest pyramid is about 2 hours outside mexico City. Think its peobla it was a mound the Spanish built a church on but when they dug it up it was a long abandoned ruin. Only part has been uncovered. Its base is like 7x that of the great pyramids.
What was their measurement size according to their measurement structure?

Beautiful documentary, blighted by so many mispronunciations. If a Spanish word has an accent on it, that syllable should be accented not the one after it! And what is a jagear? or Bass relief?
These temples didn't have "spanish" names. The names were from the people who built them. Ever wonder when they DNA test the mummies and people found at these sites they have no genetic connection to the people there today who call themselves Mexican?
@@unstableuncertainty4356 Not at the pyramids idiot the surrounding burial grounds you know a little place called a grave yard. The DNA doesn't match any of the inhabitants of the land that are currently occupying the land. Know what that means? They aren't the ancestors of the current people!!!
@@unstableuncertainty4356 Yeah. I saw a new national geographic documentary and the said that the DNA doesn't match anyone in the current area.
@@unstableuncertainty4356 Well in history the ancient Mexicans said those structures were there before any of their ancestors were there. Mexicans are just a mixture of the local primitive tribes and Europeans. Its funny since the Mexicans built these great civilizations and you are the original people why haven't built anything to that standard since?
@@jdgreen214 the olmec bones that were found in San Lorenzo, Mexico were tested and match the dna of the indigenous in Mexico today which is haplogroup A. When Mexicans do their dna, it comes back as indigenous Mexican, or indigenous Central America, or Native American. Idk where you got your information but todays Mexicans are descendants of the indigenous that inhabited Mexico before the Spanish invasion.
These places look like landing pads for aircrafts like an air force base
TeotiHUACAN not hacuan. for christ sake pronounce your report correctly
With so many ancient and old civilizations having similar serpent like dragons and creatures as magical and majestic beings makes you really wonder if there used to be some kind of large flying dragon type creature that did crazy things as it can’t be coincidence that all these civilizations from different continents all have such similar dragon like being they seemed to worship
No more than likely it had its origins in the sky. Imagine how well you could see the galaxy with zero light pollution. Imagine the ancients seeing an aurora borealis. So many creation stories involve serpents.
we are just rats in a cage for the lizards who feed on our fear
Doesn’t the Bible mention of a serpent deceiving the whole world?
There is the star people in most cultures. But who can say whether it was just an advanced civilization teaching a less advanced. The older airships were made to look like birds.
They likely combined.birds with lizards and other reptiles and imagined a magical new creature existing in their minds. since birds fly they imagined this new creature could too as well.
Alot of other naritaors will make it look like it's not Mexican culture but that's our ancestors
Yep this is indigenous Mexican culture and history and those are our indigenous ancestors.
Present day Mexicans call the descendants of the Mayans "Pinche Mayate"...why is that if you love them so much?
@@famousx550 lmao no Mexicans don’t call descendants of the “Mayans” mayate. First of all Mexicans are descendants of all the indigenous tribes that were in Mexico before the Spanish arrival, and that includes the Mayas. Mexicans are descendants of the Mayans. Mayate has nothing to do with the Mayans.
@Xochiquetzal__ Lol who in Mexico gets called a Pinche Mayate? And what does it mean? 🤔
@@famousx550 it’s not used for the Mayas in Mexico 🤦🏻♀️ the word mayate has nothing to do with Mayans. But I know that’s a popular rumor going around that black people made up to feel like they are somehow Mayan too 😂 but they’re not.

Deseo volver a este lugar que visite el año 2006!, no me imagino como puede ser dormir una noche en la pirámide del sol que fue la pirámide que subí corriendo hasta llegar a la punta y encontrarme con una vista impresionante panorámica! Nunca pensé y no creo en la teoría imaginaria de la ciencia que estás pirámides fueron construidas por 12 a 14 mil personas que trabajaron 10h por día y más de 100años para terminarlas! Esto fue construido y fue un regalo para la humanidad de otra civilización avanzada que todavía no conocemos!
If all the planets of our solar system are represented by buildings, did they found the building representing the 10th planet yet? 🤔
Where were the people who made it? How those art got lost within its people?
These are the cycles of history: up and downs of the civilization. It’s always been like this and it always will! Thank you for your comment
The ppl who built this were the ancient Egyptians ( aka ppl from the land of Kmt)
Its what happens when you either do not have a written language or do not have a permanent way to preserve it such as engraving it in stone or on metal plates. When we're gone recovering our languages may be difficult since everything electronic will be long gone as will all books.

Why you pronounce CIUDADELA as KUIDADELA? 🤷♂️
so the giant perfectly skulpted, stone platforms are just grave sites in this instance?
Devon H C The truth is everything people say are simply guesses. And guesses with very little information. These pyramids have been here for thousands of years, even the Aztecs had no clue who built it. They just found them one day. Practically nothing is known of the people who built these pyramids, they found a quasi-hieroglyphic writing under the pyramids but we don't know what it means.
Most people confuse the Aztecs with whoever built the pyramids but they aren't the same people and separated by at least a thousand years.
@@visualonestudio Lies! these people found the people and the records of who these people were. Half of the history is underground at the Vatican. The rest the Spanish Europeans burned to help cover up whatever they were trying to hide.
jdgreen214 That sounds speculative at best.
@@visualonestudio actually the people that inhabited the area the Aztecs came to rule were the Toltecs, the Toltecs happened upon the ruins and decided to build their civilization next to Teotihuacan but in truth, they had no clue who built it.
@@visualonestudio I am from Mexico and it is known that when Hern arrived in Cortez the natives told him that these pyramids had not been built by them but that before they were covered with a perfectly cut oxidian queen, better than a diamond.
A lot of mispronunciation of the names.
Antz-that-crawls-on-the-ground ~~ El_Choctaw_lord_de_Aztlan_y_Mexico
The mispronunciations make it hard for me to hear the information. The h is silent and the Nahuatl accent is on the penultimate syllable. And she pronounces some Spanish words as if they were in Italian.
Something tells me I might be Teotitlan
No, the reason the Spanish were able to conquer the Aztec empire was due to the military strategy of divide and conquer, which has been used throughout human history
The feathered serpent can bring rain, and acts as a conduit for Male rites of passage into power. This was a place I visited when seeing a shaman Daniel who told me where to go, there is also a Temple for the Mexican Jaguar God in between the Sun and Moon Temple a good place to connect to the cosmos in meditation and prayer when wanting expanded consciousness powers....it works wonders.
The H is silent !
Narrator is very hard to listen to, sounds way too much like bad script reading....quit 9 mins in
And mispronounced Teotihuacan every time
I don't see how 120,000 people used it for anything. It won't even keep them out of the rain.
Tay-oh-tee-ha-kwan?
Funny. I was just going to correct that as well.
What a nice perplex ,it was built around 600 AD with a well and magnificient art better than today's world.
I wish these people would have had a written language so we could get a glimpse of what life was like there. Then again the damn Spanish would have likely destroyed any book or manuscript they would have left behind.
They would’ve because they were Catholics
This documentary on this Aztec site so awesome! I was amiring the Art work and the precision of rock placement and angles of the beautiful structures that are monumental. Just amazing this is so ancient yet looks so modern in it's design. And Red Wall Zone painted ??? Hazard zone maybe caution area. Only certain persons allowed on that level . Maybe?? Like outward warning. Since you mentioned no written or story about these people who lived here. Maybe obviously telepathic people of higher brain usage quite possible . If godlike . Language useage may be mind counciousness. Plants obviously had birds and butterflies around more trees and bushes for these to survive. I didn't see much plants around these structures. Massive burning of area possible. Or radiation or chemical leakage of sometype. if no plant regrowth ?? Or evidence of people in area. So a quick evacuation must have taken place. As it was called Death walkway. Why? Maybe that at it's ending . Something must have cleared out this Area! My opinion s . As I saw this video. My philosophical thoughts on this subject. Pillars obviously enjoyed nature. With it's artwork as it's displayed. As a creative art person myself. Your only display something like that to give it honor of what you enjoy or see. On a Piller they are beautiful and so skilled craftsmanship. Perfectly set in place. For all these centuries amazment 😁🙏🌅
Actually this is not an Aztec site .... this pyramids was built like 1500 years before aztecs came to Mexico
Not Aztec. Nobody knows who built these, they think it might’ve been Toltecs or olmecs

Teotihuacan = Teo Ti Quan = + 32 ( Tulu Om ) + Jayesh Bhagwanji Chitroda. The story’s of Deen and Queen. This my Kingdom it was always created during the end of the first age and was a dedicated school of astrological mathematics. The people that are buried in the tombs are a line of teachers that taught at the location. This was an active Kingdom and during the 1400’s we decided to move the high castes to India and they are today known as Indian Hindu Gujarati Khumbars and the South Indian Hindu Tulu people. It was also part of my Bhagwan Ala Chitroda Empire and Bhagwan Godhra Chitroda Empire and has nothing to do with Christians or Muslims. The naming system is of my condensed Russian language Indian Hindu Om (3 i/x). And has a older name. During this time my ancestor Czar Teodor Chitroda of Russia was also known as Emperor of my Ala Empire and my Bhagwan Godhra Chitroda Empire that ended his Akbar Government in India Gujarat to start a new one. These history are summarised in extracts of my Bhagwan Vikram Aditya Chitroda history also known as Vikram and Betal. The entire Kingdom was made of and still is functioning as the Indian Hindu Khumbar Kingdom this like all other Indian Hindu Khumbar Kingdoms had Dark Brown eye colours. 🤴🏽🕉🔺➕

The ‘h’ in Teotihuacán is silent. Other than that, your pronunciation is excellent.
Also, the ‘coat’ in Quetzalcoatl is pronounced ‘kwaht’ as in kumquat, not like the garment.

So you are saying that a primitive people who did not even have iron tools, built all this? 😂🤣😂 They scavenged it from an earlier civilization.
Something happened to the aliens that built this.
They didnt have iron but they had obsidian. Also primitive? Do you not know anything about American history?
Not primitive, civilized cultures figured out how to build, measure, plant and live of the land. When the spanish arrived at Tenochtitlán they were surprised that they were civilized people living there, obviously they still thought they were slightly barbarian since they sacrificed humans and weren’t technically European civilized. Mesoamerica was civilized and proper, it had different indigenous societies that lived apart or coexisted together at the same time. Educate yourself before you spout nonsense, they had everything European civilizations had, knowledge, government, religion, calligraphy, modes of transportation and agriculture. They were more similar to the Egyptians to be frank.
Which cities have you designed and built?
You underestimate the human mind and collective force.These people were smart and that’s that

In a regression, I remember standing while doing a ceremony, on the platform of the Pyramid of the Sun, knowing the people below did not understand what was at the top of the pyramid. I knew it was the main ship. We, the crew, got into so much trouble with the Council, that we went past the prime directive and interfered with the humans. But we liked them and gave them fire and so much more. We were told to destroy all of the things we had built. We buried most under so much dirt we never thought they would be found. We loaded the ship and had to return to the home world and were never allowed to leave again. Our symbol was a beautiful red flying phoenix. I often chuckle when it is called a feathered snake. This was very long ago.

How can you narrate a documentary on a city and not even pronounce it correctly??
Te molesta su pronunciation.....?? En Serio....!!!!!!!!
I’m Chicano, but how could a place, where my ancestors performed human sacrifice, be holy???
Because the sense of "holiness" is different for each culture and spiritual belief.
Do you really believe the Spanish? For all we know, they lied or exaggerated about human sacrifices.
@@michael85225
You're kidding ?
Human sacrifices have been going on around the world for ages and is still done today by the occult.
The Spanish lied as much or as little as any other people in world history.
Many years ago, in my Chicano history class, we learned that some Aztec kings would erase and rewrite history to fit their narrative.
Maybe it was the Aztecs that exaggerated to the Spanish in order to impress them?
Please learn proper pronunciation before creating a documentary. Your accent is no problem, but a lot of the pronunciation is incorrect. Otherwise, thank you.
They weren't gods just Mexican like us but very intelligent and this is where life on earth started this is a landing like an airport and you can breed 2brown puppies and get black white and brown puppies right that's how all races got started it's roots is all Mexican

"The Holy city of Teotihuacan"? When did Teotihuacan become holy? I hate people who ad more to an already established story. Just about every ancient site in the world was considered the place of their God's.
It was bound to be holy to someone at some time or they wouldn't have gone to all the trouble. Same seems to go with all ancient pyramids that exist to this day. All seem to be about the same degree of mysterious about something.
The Egyptian pyramids are waaaay bigger and grand but it’s impressive that the Aztecs had figured out how to use things like what seems like concrete or some early form of concrete as a binding agent for their walls and what not
Teotihuacan predates the aztecs by centuries, the area was inhabited by around 300 BC, and then the city proper grew rapidly around 100 BC to year 0 (birth of Jesus), it reached it's cenith around 400 AD to 500 AD and then went went into decline aroud 600 AD and was gradually abandoned in the comming centuries.
The Mexica (Aztecs) arrived into the Valley of México (the area were Teotihuacan and Tenochtitlan/Mexico City are located) around the year 1300 AD, and founded Tenochtitlan in 1325, Teotihuacan had already been abandonded for about 700 years.
