Introduction

Teotihuacan Site, also known as "City of the Gods," is a former thriving ancient Indian civilization located 50 kilometers northeast of Mexico City. The most notable feature of this site is the Sun Pyramid. This pyramid is the world's third-largest pyramid, surpassed only by the Khufu Pyramid in Egypt and the Pyramid of Cholula. It is said that this pyramid was built to worship the sun god and is divided into five layers, with 243 steps to reach the top. From the top of the pyramid, there are ruins and buildings that surround it, as if traveling back in time to the prosperous era nearly two thousand years ago. Unlike the pyramids in ancient Egypt, this pyramid is a sacred altar for Indian worship. Every afternoon, the sunset shines on the pyramid and the scenery is particularly beautiful. The locals say that standing here, one can feel the infinite power. In addition, according to legend, making a wish here may also come true. Whether you are a history enthusiast or a traveler seeking a mysterious experience, the Teotihuacan Site and the Sun Pyramid are worth visiting.
