Pyramid of the Sun

The Pyramid of the Sun is a large ancient structure located in the ancient city of Teotihuacan, near present-day Mexico City. Built around 200 CE, it is one of the largest pyramids in the world, measuring about 66 meters (216 feet) tall. The pyramid served as a religious center and a site for ceremonies dedicated to the sun. Its construction reflects the advanced engineering skills of the Teotihuacan civilization, which thrived long before the Aztecs. The pyramid is part of a larger complex featuring other significant buildings, illustrating the cultural and architectural achievements of early Mesoamerican societies.
