Solar pyramid   Pyramid of the moon   The dead's main street

From now on, the city which prospered in the basin in Mexico 2000 to 1350 years ago is Teotihuacan. Although 120,000 and 200,000 were said and population was the first big city in a U.S. continent, people and the reason for a downfall which were built are also still a mystery.
 "Gods' place"  The pyramid of the sun and the moon  The mystery of the Teotihuacan downfall
the ASUTEKA people who discovered this ground were alike by carrying out a metropolis like the squares before one's eyes, and named Teotihuacan for the purpose of "gods' place" at the beginning of discovery. The summit of a pyramid is not sharp like it of Egypt. The shrine was built and was in the summit. A natural cave is under a solar pyramid. The number of solar pyramids is five and the moon has become four layers.

Why or 1. population should increase too much, and it should fold that Teotihuacan which was the greatest city in a U.S. continent went to ruin.
2. Since rain is not come down for a long time but it is impossible to take agricultural products.
3. Since civil war happened It continues being mystery.
