Teotihuacan pictography

Teotihuacan pictography refers to the visual symbols and images used by the ancient inhabitants of Teotihuacan to communicate ideas, beliefs, and stories. These symbols appear on murals, pottery, and carvings, often representing gods, animals, or sacred concepts. While not fully deciphered, they provide insights into religious practices, social structure, and daily life. The pictography reflects a sophisticated system of visual communication that helped convey complex information before written language fully developed. Understanding these images helps researchers interpret the cultural and spiritual significance of one of Mexico’s most important ancient cities.
