Teotihuacan - Where Men Become Gods




    We just submitted our 120th story for the website LiveScience - https://www.livescience.com/.  One of our recent stories dealt with the amazing ancient city in the Valley of Mexico known as Teotihuacan.  Here is a link to that story - https://www.livescience.com/63315-photos-teotihuacan-pyramids.html.   If you are interested in learning more about the ancient city of Teotihuacan, here a great website from UNESCO -  https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/414/ and a few pictures from our visit.  Remember, this city was built by people who did not have steel tools nor a domesticated animal bigger than a dog.  Their skills were beyond amazing!
