Pyramid of the Moon, Pre-Columbian pyramid in Teotihuacan, Mexico.
The Pyramid of the Moon reaches 46 meters in height at the northern end of the Avenue of the Dead, mirroring the shape of Cerro Gordo volcano.
Archaeological excavations have uncovered seven distinct construction phases between 100 and 400 CE, with each layer demonstrating the evolution of pre-Hispanic architectural methods.
Animal and human sacrificial remains found in the tombs indicate ceremonies dedicated to storm deities and the great goddess of Teotihuacan.
The archaeological site of Teotihuacan is located one hour from Mexico City and offers guided tours in multiple languages throughout the week.
Archaeologists have discovered jade, obsidian, and pyrite offerings within burial chambers beneath the different layers of the pyramid.
