Drawing of what Tenochtitlán looked like according to Spanish documentation from the 1500's.
Very little remains of the city. Here is the base of the Aztec's main temple, Templo Mayor.
The Spanish conquistadors tore down the Aztec buildings & used the stones to create their new city.
In the background is the Catedral de la Metropolitana in the center of Mexico City.
At Teotihuacán, approaching the Pyramid of the Sun. This thing is MASSIVE!
No, those are not ants. Those are people climbing the Pyramid of the Sun.
As Mesoamerican ruins go, the steps up this pyramid have a rather gentle slope.
