Pyramids of the Sun and Moon
The Pyramids of the Sun and Moon are ancient Mesoamerican monuments located at Teotihuacan in Mexico. The Pyramid of the Sun, the largest in the city, was built around 200 CE and likely served religious and ceremonial purposes, symbolizing mountains or sacred sites. The Pyramid of the Moon, slightly smaller, is positioned at the northern end of the main avenue and may have been dedicated to moon gods or involved in rituals linked to the nearby plaza. Both structures demonstrate advanced engineering and reflect the spiritual and societal importance of cosmology to the Teotihuacan civilization.
