Unraveling the Mysteries: Who Built the Pyramids in Mexico
The Mexican pyramids refer to the ancient pyramid complexes located in Mexico. These pyramids were constructed by various indigenous civilizations that thrived in what is now present-day Mexico. The two most well-known pyramid complexes in Mexico are Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza. Teotihuacan, located near Mexico City, was a significant pre-Columbian city during the Classic period. The Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon are the largest structures within this complex. These pyramids were constructed by the Teotihuacanos, a civilization whose identity and origins remain a subject of debate among researchers. Chichen Itza, located in the Yucatan Peninsula, was a major city of the Maya civilization. It flourished during the Terminal Classic period and was later influenced by the Toltecs. The most iconic pyramid at Chichen Itza is the Temple of Kukulcan, also known as El Castillo. This step pyramid is renowned for its precise astronomical alignments and the famous serpent shadows that appear during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Apart from Teotihuacan and Chichen Itza, there are numerous other notable pyramid complexes throughout Mexico. These include Palenque, located in the state of Chiapas, known for its intricately carved temples and the Temple of the Inscriptions; Tulum, situated on the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, featuring stunning ocean views; and Monte Alban, an ancient Zapotec city in Oaxaca, characterized by its unique architectural style. Each of these pyramid complexes showcases the remarkable achievements in architecture, engineering, and religious beliefs of the ancient Mexican civilizations. They provide fascinating insights into the rich history and cultural heritage of the region
