Teotihuacan is considered the heart still warm pre-Columbian America.
The Aztecs called "Tollan Teotihuacan," "There, where men become gods."
Yet the Aztecs knew it, as we do today, only its pyramids silent, while his story was already a legend when Hernan Cortes and his men arrived there on July 7, 1920, becoming the first Europeans to see it. Most probably, the largest religious metropolis of Mexico, the city had the largest population in the classical Mesoamerican, suddenly found himself abandoned.
According to the mythology associated with it, the gods built their great pyramids at the time of creation of the Sun and the Moon, thereby creating a cycle of the world. But nobody knows for sure who built it and why, or why he left. The origin of Teotihuacan, then, is a mystery after all powered by the same researchers discovered.

This publication attempts to offer an answer to these puzzles and to provide reader a comprehensive view, as user-friendly, pre-Columbian civilization.
