The pyramids of the Sun and the Moon
An hour northeast of Mexico City is Teotihuacan. The city, which once had 200 000 inhabitants is a huge site 25 km ² which has the highest Mexican and American pyramids the pyramids of the sun and moon and dedicated to Quetzalcoatl palace: the feathered serpent (remember bonsai with Coluche). This great capital was the most advanced urban center of the era and civilization greatly influenced other companies Toltec, Mayan and Aztec who followed him.
Teotihuacán
The city dates from about 400 BC and 750 AD until shone The city of Teotihuacan is located in a valley surrounded by two mountains: Cerro Gordo to the north and Cerro Patlachique south.
After the eruption of the volcano in the region of Cuicuilco populations have moved further north and that is how this valley welcomed its first occupants. The banks of the largest lake in the Basin of Mexico were still very close and streams that had mountains irrigated land and supplied water to residents.
Teotihuacan is a monumental unfortified town and a ceremonial center perfectly thought the pyramid of the sun is astronomically aligned so as to do exactly opposite the sun in the day of the summer solstice. This pyramid was the nerve center of the city.
A sacred place
Teotihuacan is still considered a sacred place. On weekends, you meet many Mexican families, who spend the day here to recharge energy. Indeed, if one looks at the top of the great pyramid of the sun and his hand is placed on the center stone, the energy of the place goes in itself.
Each year thousands of people gather here to the vernal equinox
(Equinoccio Primavera) to share a magical moment. It is a special moment for the day and night each last exactly 12 hours. All spiritual elements are combined and this is a unique opportunity this year to "take charge of energy" by climbing the pyramid of the sun or of the moon.
Enjoy the ride to try. Climb the pyramids is a unique experience because the views are breathtaking, more can be quite receptive to, as the Mexicans you will communicate with the elements!
