Teotihuacan- An
ancient city in the Central Mexican basin that features some of the largest
pyramids in the Americas. The Temple of the Sun, built approx. 1-150 AD features
a unique architectural building style called tablud-tablero. In this style of
architecture the vertical sides of the pyramid appear to be stacked in levels
like a giant multi-layer cake. (The Aztecs, Maya, and their Predecessors: Archaeology
