PMR593-10 Mexico: Teotihuacan, probably the largest pre-Hispanic city in the Americas, covering about 156,000 square kilometres, with up to 200,000 inhabitants. Founded ca. 100 AD, flourished 300 to 650, abandoned by 750 AD. Identity of the builders is unknown. The Aztecs believed it was the work of giants. Frontal view of the Pyramid of the Sun, with altar in the foreground. It was built over a trefoil-shaped cave, which may have had a supreme religious significance.
