EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the awe-inspiring Pyramid of the Sun at the ancient Mesoamerican city of Teotihuacan, located in Mexico. Dating back to 150 BC, this colossal temple is the largest stone pyramid constructed during the Precolumbian period, making it a significant archaeological discovery. The ruins of Teotihuacan, which translates to 'the place where gods were born,' are believed to have been inhabited by various civilizations, including the Zapotec, Mixtec, and Maya. The Pyramid of the Sun stands as a testament to the architectural prowess and cultural richness of these ancient peoples. Its imposing presence, with its steep steps and towering height, is a reminder of the advanced engineering skills and the deep spiritual beliefs of the civilization that once thrived here. The intricate carvings and designs adorning the pyramid's surface add to its mystique and allure. This photograph, taken in 1982, captures the essence of Teotihuacan's enduring legacy. The sun casting long shadows over the ancient ruins adds a sense of timelessness and wonder, inviting us to ponder the history and secrets that lie within these ancient walls. The Pyramid of the Sun remains an important symbol of Mexico's rich cultural heritage and a must-visit destination for history and archaeology enthusiasts.
