Highlights of a tour to the Ancient Civilization of Teotihuacan, where massive temples to the Sun and Moon were built, and rich history continues to amaze. • From Wikipedia: • Teotihuacan /teɪˌoʊtiːwəˈkɑːn/, (in Spanish: Teotihuacán) (Spanish pronunciation: [teotiwa'kan] (About this soundlisten), About this soundmodern Nahuatl pronunciation (help·info)), is an ancient Mesoamerican city located in a sub-valley of the Valley of Mexico, located in the State of Mexico 40 kilometres (25 mi) northeast of modern-day Mexico City, known today as the site of many of the most architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids built in the pre-Columbian Americas. After the collapse of Teotihuacan central Mexico was dominated by the Toltecs of Tula until about AD 1150. At its zenith, perhaps in the first half of the 1st millennium CE, Teotihuacan was the largest city in the pre-Columbian Americas, with a population estimated at 125,000 or more, making it at least the sixth largest city in the world during its epoch. The city covered 8 square miles; 80 to 90 percent of the total population of the valley resided in Teotihuacan. Apart from the pyramids, Teotihuacan is also anthropologically significant for its complex, multi-family residential compounds, the Avenue of the Dead, and its vibrant murals that have been well-preserved. Additionally, Teotihuacan exported fine obsidian tools that are found throughout Mesoamerica. The city is thought to have been established around 100 BCE, with major monuments continuously under construction until about 250 CE. The city may have lasted until sometime between the 7th and 8th centuries CE, but its major monuments were sacked and systematically burned around 550 CE. • Teotihuacan began as a religious center in the Mexican Highlands around the first century CE. It became the largest and most populated center in the pre-Columbian Americas. Teotihuacan was home to multi-floor apartment compounds built to accommodate the large population. The term Teotihuacan (or Teotihuacano) is also used for the whole civilization and cultural complex associated with the site. • Although it is a subject of debate whether Teotihuacan was the center of a state empire, its influence throughout Mesoamerica is well documented; evidence of Teotihuacano presence can be seen at numerous sites in Veracruz and the Maya region. The later Aztecs saw these magnificent ruins and claimed a common ancestry with the Teotihuacanos, modifying and adopting aspects of their culture. The ethnicity of the inhabitants of Teotihuacan is the subject of debate. Possible candidates are the Nahua, Otomi or Totonac ethnic groups. Scholars have suggested that Teotihuacan was a multi-ethnic state. • The city and the archaeological site are located in what is now the San Juan Teotihuacán municipality in the State of México, approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) northeast of Mexico City. The site covers a total surface area of 83 square kilometres (32 sq mi) and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. It is the most visited archaeological site in Mexico, receiving 4,185,017 visitors in 2017. • Support me on Patreon : / actionkid105 • Follow me on Twitter: / actionkid105 • Follow me on Instagram: / actionkid105 • The links below may contain affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I'll receive a small commission from your purchases. • Filmed Using • GoPro HERO7 Black: https://amzn.to/2pA5ogz • FeiyuTech G6 Gimbal: https://amzn.to/2BPs1qp • Camera Equipment I used or have used • GoPro Fusion — 360 Waterproof Digital VR Camera with Spherical 5.2K HD Video 18MP Photos: https://amzn.to/2EdfwGd • GoPro HERO6 Black: http://amzn.to/2FxgnxW • GoPro HERO5 Black: http://amzn.to/2xuLu8d • FeiyuTech G5 Gimbal: http://amzn.to/2yTv4qV • Panasonic G7: http://amzn.to/2FqZPHY • Panasonic LUMIX G Vario Lens, 14-140MM, F3.5-5.6 ASPH: http://amzn.to/2EAg9VL • Panasonic LUMIX G VARIO LENS, 7-14MM, F4.0 ASPH: https://amzn.to/2GlQFNb • Zhiyun Crane V2 Gimbal: https://amzn.to/2pN9gdO • Senal SCS-98 Stereo Microphone: http://amzn.to/2FtkbjV • LowePro Photo Classic 300 AW: https://amzn.to/2OqK4oD • AmazonBasics Medium DSLR Gadget Bag: http://amzn.to/2D62Xvu • Samsung 128GB microSD Card: http://amzn.to/2nm5BFT • Smatree 3pcs Long Aluminum Thumbscrew: http://amzn.to/2DtwgFe • GoPro HERO5/HERO6 Battery with Dual Battery Charger: http://amzn.to/2DpqUun • Lifelimit Accessories Starter Kit for GoPro: http://amzn.to/2CZPste • The CLAW Flexible Tripod: http://amzn.to/2zpMgIm • AmazonBasics Carrying Case for GoPro - Large: http://amzn.to/2mqvQY8 • Transcend USB 3.0 Card Reader: http://amzn.to/2xVtIuX • Anker PowerCore 10000 Power Bank: http://amzn.to/2gt7JW0
