Jim Rogers - 150 Countries, 150000 Miles in three years - Pyramids at Teotihuacan Mexico Teotihuacan is an enormous archaeological site in the Basin of Mexico, containing some of the largest pyramidal structures built in the pre-Columbian Americas. Apart from the pyramidal structures, the archaeological site of Teotihuacan is also known for its large residential complexes, the so-called "street of the dead", and its colorful well-preserved murals. Teotihuacan was, at its apogee in the first half of the 1st millennium CE, the largest city in the pre-Columbian Americas. During its zenith it may have had more than 100000 inhabitants placing it among the largest cities of the world in this period. The civilization and cultural complex associated with the site is also referred to as Teotihuacan or Teotihuacano. Although it is a subject of debate whether Teotihuacan was the center of an empire, its influence throughout Mesoamerica is well documented; evidence of Teotihuacano presence, if not outright political and economic control, can be seen at numerous sites in Veracruz and the Maya region. The ethnicity of the inhabitants of Teotihuacan is also a subject of debate and possible candidates are the Nahua, Otomi or Totonac ethnic groups. Often it has been suggested that Teotihuacan was in fact a multiethnic state. The city and the archaeological site was located in what is now the San Juan Teotihuacán municipality in the State of México, Mexico, approximately 40 kilometres (25 ...

Archaeologists in Mexico City have discovered 23 more than five-hundred-year stone plaques at an Aztec temple. The pre-Columbian plaques were spotted in front of an Aztec temple's steps. The plaques feature carvings illustrating Aztec myths such as the birth of the god of war, and details about the origin of the sacred war within the ancient Mexican culture. The sculptures on slabs of volcanic rock feature representations of serpents, captives, ornaments and warriors. They also feature other figures relating to the mythological origins of Aztec civilization. The Aztecs were a warlike and deeply religious people who built numerous monumental works including the famous towering pyramids. They ruled an empire encompassing much of modern-day central Mexico until they were overthrown by the Spanish in 1521.

You may want to turn on the lights and find a comforting stuffed animal before watching this. Here's more: SCRIPT: Xibalba - the place of fear - believed by Mayans, long ago, to be the entrance to the underworld, ruled by the spirits of disease and death. Mexican archeologists have discovered a maze of stone temples in underwater caverns - a new candidate for the home of the Xibalba myth. At this site in the Yucatan peninsula, there are the ruins of eleven temples, many dry chambers linked by a 100-metre underground road which contain what may be human bones - possibly the remains of sacrifices. For the Mexican researchers, it's an exciting find: [Guillermo de Anda, Archeologist]: "As in all Mayan caves, this one contains archeological material that can provide us with a lot of information about Cenote culture and the caves in general. This place is an important place because we have found two very elaborate temples built here inside the cave which are very difficult to get to." The Mayans built soaring pyramids and elaborate palaces in Central America and southern Mexico before mysteriously abandoning their cities around 900 AD
