EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the bustling metropolis of Mexico City lies a remarkable testament to the rich history and architectural prowess of ancient civilizations - the Pyramid of Tenayuca. Constructed in the 13th century by the Chichimecs, this pyramid stands as a proud reminder of a bygone era. Nestled in the heart of Mexico, this historical site has miraculously remained in excellent condition throughout the centuries, defying the test of time. The Pyramid of Tenayuca, a significant architectural achievement, is a symbol of the Chichimec civilization's ingenuity and cultural legacy. Its intricate design and impeccable preservation have captivated historians, archaeologists, and visitors alike. The pyramid's grandeur and majesty are a stark contrast to the modern cityscape that surrounds it, offering a glimpse into Mexico's ancient past. The Chichimecs, a nomadic people who migrated from the north, established Tenayuca as their capital city around 1200 AD. The city flourished under their rule, and the pyramid served as a religious and ceremonial center. The pyramid's base measures approximately 100 meters in length and 60 meters in width, making it one of the largest structures of its kind in the region. The Pyramid of Tenayuca's excellent condition is a testament to the care and preservation efforts of Mexican authorities and archaeologists. The site attracts thousands of visitors each year, who come to marvel at the intricate carvings, intricate mosaics, and stunning architecture that adorn the pyramid's walls. The Pyramid of Tenayuca is not only a symbol of Mexico's rich history but also a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Chichimec civilization.
