Teotihuacan means the capital of the gods in the Indian language. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 INFO is located between the valleys of the Popocatepel and Istacevat volcanoes, 40 kilometers northeast of Mexico City, covering an area of more than 20 square kilometers. The main ruins of the ancient city are the Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon, the Butterfly Palace, and many more.
Built in the 2nd century AD, the Pyramid of the Sun is a trapezoidal shape facing east and west, and the interior is made of 2.5 million tons of earth and sand, and is paved and inlaid with huge volcanic stones carved with colorful patterns. The tower body is 1 million cubic meters, divided into 5 floors, 65 meters high, and there are 236 steps in the front, which can go straight to the top of the tower. At the top of the tower, there used to be a 10-meter-high sun temple, which was the place where the ancient Indians worshipped the sun god.
The Moon Pyramid is a place where the moon god is worshipped. It is architecturally the same as the Pyramid of the Sun, except on a smaller scale, built 200 years later than the Pyramid of the Sun. The Pyramid of the Moon, though small, is finely built, with more than 200 steps with different angles of inclination. The Moon Pyramid sits in the north and faces south, the site is 150 meters long, 120 meters wide, the tower is 46 meters high, it is also divided into 5 layers, there are many colorful murals painted on the stacked stones outside, and the wide square in front of the tower can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
To the south of the Pyramid of the Moon is the Palace of Butterflies, which is the residence of the religious elite and dignitaries, and is the most gorgeous place in the city. The cylinder is engraved with an extremely delicate pattern of butterfly wings, which is still brightly colored today. Beneath the palace has now been excavated a conch temple decorated with beautiful feathers.
Connecting the buildings of the ancient city is the Avenue of the Dead that runs through the city from north to south. The Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon are located on the east and north ends of the Avenue of the Dead, respectively, and the Butterfly Palace is on the west side of its north end.
Overall, the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon in Teotihuacan are comparable to the pyramids of Egypt in terms of scale and architectural art.

After arriving in Teotihuacan, Sule, Lotina, and Athena wandered around every day, but found no sign of Robin. Su Le couldn't help but ask Luo Zhen, "Is Robin around here?" Is it already gone. ”
"It's still around here, but it feels a little weird, both like her and not like her."
Since Luo Ji said so, the three of them had no choice but to continue to wander around here. Although the ancient city of Teotihuacan is an important cultural monument of the world, it can cause aesthetic fatigue when you look at it every day.
At this moment, an old friend came to visit, it was Slender Chun-Li.
"Sure enough, it is Mr. Su Le, who can find this place accurately half a world away."
In fact, it wasn't all due to Su Le, Luo Jian listened to the words of the slender Chunli and was very dissatisfied, "Where is Robin?" Why didn't you come out and pick us up in person? ”
Slender Chun-Li replied, "Miss Robin is not convenient to come out now, so I will take you to meet her." ”
"Then hurry up, we are looking for her everywhere, and we don't know what happened to her, I'm very worried." Su Le urged anxiously.
"Rest assured Mr. Su Le, Miss Robin is very good now." Slender Chun-Li replied with a smile.
Su Le and the three of them were first taken into the nearby mountains and forests. Then enter a hidden cave, the road in the cave is intricate, if it is not for the slender Chun-Li, the three of them will definitely get lost.
After walking for a long time, I finally came to a relatively wide place, similar to a square, but in an underground cave, like the dungeon of the Naga people, there were glowing gems illuminating it.
Slender Chun-Li asked Su Le to wait in the underground plaza for a while, and she asked Robin to come over. Su Le took a look at the surroundings, there were a lot of ancient style utensils, but he didn't see the coffin.
Although the entrance to this cave plaza is not in the center of Teotihuacan, it is surmised that this should be under the ground of the ancient city, and the underground of some important building, based on the long distance they have walked underground, and the surrounding objects.
Unlike the Egyptian pyramids, the pyramids of Teotihuacan are not mausoleums, but a place of worship to the gods. The pyramids of Teotihuacan are also called the Aztec pyramids, but the pyramids were not built by the Aztecs.
In Mexico, archaeologists have found human fossils from 11,000 years ago and discovered Paleolithic cultures. The history of the Americas is known for very little, beginning around 2300 B.C. 1250 B.C. ~ 200 A.D. is the pre-classical culture period in the valley of Mexico, and the remains of those ancient cultures such as pottery and clay figurines show that the local tribes have begun to engage in settled agriculture, and have a management organization and a religious organization.
The Maya culture, which flourished between 300~900 AD, was the peak of classical culture, and the Maya people living in the northeastern part of Lake Patten and the southern Yucatan Peninsula in present-day Guatemala created the only written language left in the Americas, the Mayan script, and established a fairly accurate solar calendar.
The Maya had a high degree of achievement in architecture, sculpture, and painting. The walls, columns, and staircases of their ancient temples and palaces are adorned with elaborate reliefs and carvings. The paintings are colorful and have a variety of subjects, such as depicting war scenes and celebratory parades.
Although the Mayan civilization later declined, the so-called apocalypse of 2012 still made the Maya and the disaster movie a fire. Today, the earth is still the same, but the Mayans and their civilization have become more known to more people.
So it is very likely that the buildings and underground ruins here are the masterpieces of the Mayans, or most of them were built by the Mayans.
The Aztecs were relatively late in civilization and were not necessarily as advanced as the Mayans. They came here hundreds of years after the place was in ruins.
The Aztecs were stunned by the magnificent architecture and thought that this was a city that only God could have built. This is where the name Teotihuacan, the capital of the gods, comes from.
Perhaps the Aztecs also considered the two huge pyramids to be mausoleums, so they named the main road that runs through the city from north to south as Avenue of the Dead.

Robin finally came out, but as Luo Jian felt, her temperament was very different from usual.
In the past, Robin's temperament was relatively sunny and lively, always wearing a white and loose dress, like a naughty princess.
The dress now is a bit like Princess Leah's classic outfit when she was captured in Star Wars. The lower body is a bit similar to a cheongsam, except that the fabric is more economical, and more than half of the big white legs are exposed.
The upper body is not Princess Leah's gold bikini, but a crimson sleeveless bodysuit of the same color as the narrow striped cheongsam skirt on the lower body, although it uses more fabric than the bikini, but it only reaches above the waist, and there is a huge V-shaped neckline on the chest, and the two little white rabbits are each exposed nearly half.
Although she is dressed a bit like Princess Leia, her temperament has changed to that of a cold queen. The complexion on the body is fine, the complexion is slightly pale, and the eyes do not have their usual look, and the bright smile on the face is missing.
Moreover, Robin also held a scepter in his hand, and the top of the scepter was decorated with a light blue crystal, in which a blue luminous object could be vaguely seen emitting a faint blue light. This shows that Robin is now a queen, not a princess.
