I understand why the Aztecs were impressed when they discovered the abandoned site of Teotihuacan. The site is massive!
Facing the pyramid of the Moon I decided to accept the challenge and climb up the very steep steps to the middle platform. I used my hands and my feet to kind of crawl up. When I turned around I could look all the way down the avenue to the pyramid of the Sun which was even bigger. Getting down was even harder than getting up, but luckily for me they had a rope you could hold on to so you didn’t slip. We don’t know too much about the Teotihuacan people. They had no written language so everything that has been learned is the “best guess” of archeologists. It is interesting to imagine how they lived two thousand years ago. They had no domestic animals like pigs, cows, or sheep. What do you think they ate? You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom.

How do we know that the Aztecs discovered this site?

The Spanish got their information from the Aztecs about the sight and the Spanish had written language so it is documented.

When you decided to climb the steep steps did you fall down?

I never fell because I used the rope. And I’m ok doing things that might seem embarrassing if it mean I learn something cool or experience something cool.

Both—a guide explained things to use and then we were allowed to walk around by ourselves. We love when we get to explore things on our own.

Only the Sun Pyramid has caves under it (that they know) and only archeologist are allowed to go in. I did go inside a couple of pyramids in Egypt though.

Dianne We are so PROUD of you for climbing it! It looks like it would be hard to do. How wide would you say the sun pyramid is? How many visitors does that site get each day?
