Teotihuacan, Mexico. Aug 1999
I had to go to Mexico City for a week some time ago and had the rare opportunity before I left to swing by and see the Aztec temples at Teotihuacan (Tae-Tae-oo-ick-an). This city was already ancient when the Aztecs were there, having been established some 1000 years before their arrival. The frenchman, Desire Charnay first found a portion of the "City of the Gods"in 1880. |

City, this giant urban area stretches as far as the eye can see and farther,
it's an unbelievable size. |
