What Archaeology Says

Built between 100 BC and 250 AD by an unknown civilization, Teotihuacan was one of the largest cities in the ancient world with a population of ~125,000. The mica found in structures was traded from Brazil and likely used for ritual or decorative purposes. Liquid mercury under the Temple of the Feathered Serpent may have represented an underworld river in Mesoamerican cosmology.
