Temples of the Sun and Moon (Teotihuacan)

The Temples of the Sun and Moon in Teotihuacan are two majestic pyramids built by an ancient Mesoamerican civilization around 200-300 CE. The Pyramid of the Sun, larger and central, was likely used for religious ceremonies honoring deities associated with creation and life. The Pyramid of the Moon, smaller and at the northern end, was linked to lunar deities and ritual practices. Together, they reflect Teotihuacan’s sophisticated urban planning and spiritual beliefs, serving as focal points for rituals, astronomical observations, and social gatherings, embodying the city’s importance as a religious and cultural center in ancient Mexico.
