Teotihuacan Pyramids in Mexico
While we were in Mexico City we decided to go to see some pyramids. The place that we went to was called Teotihuacan. One of the people from our partnered organization (El Centro...) went with us on this trip also. In the beginning we got a little two hour tour of the whole place and the guide told us some of the history that lies in Teotihuacan. He told us that there was four periods of time with humans, before our period of time, which means that we are the fifth "group" of humans to live. One of the things that the guide was talking about was when the ancient people thought that the world was going to end. The ancient myth says that the world will end some time in 2012, I hope that this myth is not true as will most of you (
). The last part of the tour was when we went inside one of the pyramids. While we were in there we learned a lot about how the Aztecs lived and prayed to their Gods. Now lets get to fun part, the actual climbing of the pyramids ( again). Thew two major pyramids were called the Moon Pyramid and the Sun Pyramid. The moon pyramid was the smaller one but was said to be the most important. We were all able to climb both of the pyramids. When we were done we went home. This was one of my most memorable moments of this trip.
