Teotihuacan-a pre Aztec civilization

These ruins are about 40 miles outside of Mexico City. The people here disappeared with no explanation, although experts now think it was starvation that destroyed their civilization. The Aztecs moved into the area after they were already gone and named it Teotihuacan, which means ¨place where the gods were born¨ and they believe it is where the universe was created.

The Temple of the Sun (now actually believed to be a place where the water god was worshiped, not the Sun God.)
