Teotihuacan. City of gods
Description
Reputedly the first great city of the Western hemisphere, Teotihuacan, the City of the Gods, is also one of the most mysterious. Who lived there? What were its inhabitants like? And why did their culture collapse? In this program, archaeologist Ruben Cabrera Castro, co-director of the site, leads the way down the Avenue of the Dead-and inside both the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon, normally closed to the public. The city's political, religious, commercial, and artistic influences on subsequent societies are considered. A virtual fly-over reveals Teotihuacan's carefully planned layout.
