The City of Gods - Teotihuacan, Where Gods Were Born

Throughout history, there has always been a perceived gap between humans and Gods. It seems that one has always yearned for the other, never truly able to fulfill that longing, to fully understand and experience the other. Some argue that it is an endless pursuit with no gain, only wasted effort and time. However, others still believe that there is a profound connection, hidden within the depths of both humanity and the Earth.

Teotihuacan, also known as the City of Gods, is a lost city located near the Valley of Mexico, about 25 miles from Mexico City. It holds great significance in the search for the origins of humanity and the concept of divinity. Built around 100 B.C., Teotihuacan was one of the largest cities in the ancient world. Some believe that it had over 150,000 residents at its peak. The city's achievements in fields such as science, geography, astronomy, and engineering provide compelling evidence of its advanced knowledge. It is worth noting that Teotihuacan predates the arrival of the Aztecs in Mexico by over 1,000 years. The city was named by the Aztecs themselves, who were in awe of its grandeur and vastness.

The ancient city boasted a grand central road known as the Street of the Dead. This road connected remarkable structures, including the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon. These temples, along with other buildings in Teotihuacan, were comparable to the pyramids in Egypt, truly awe-inspiring. The city's design showcased a deliberate pairing of structures, with the major monuments aligned along a north-south axis, connected by the Street of the Dead. The Temple of the Sun, the largest structure in the city, shared the same base size as the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza, spanning nearly 750 square feet. Intriguingly, all the temples, including the Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Moon, and the Pyramid of Giza, followed the layout of Orion's belt. Moreover, the pyramids along the Street of the Dead aligned almost perfectly with the orbits of our planets in the solar system. A remarkable discovery was that the Pyramid of the Sun itself occupied the central position among all the other structures, mirroring the Sun's position at the center of our solar system. This central pyramid stood an impressive 75 meters tall with a base width of 225 meters, making it the second largest pyramid known to us.

Many people think that only priests had the privilege of climbing and ascending the steps of the pyramids for rituals and ceremonies.

Who built this? Who formed and shaped and constructed Teotihuacan?

There are different opinions among scholars regarding who built Teotihuacan. Some believe it was the Toltecs, while others point to the Totonac culture. However, evidence suggests that multiple cultures influenced the layout and structure of the city. It is possible that various cultures contributed to its development over time, including the Mayan, Mixtec, and Zapotec. In fact, Mayan and Zapotec texts have been discovered in the Teotihuacan Temples. Regardless of the specific people responsible, it is undeniable that the craftsmanship of this magnificent city was of exceptional quality and remarkably advanced for its time.

The excavation around the Pyramid of the Moon in Teotihuacan has revealed fascinating insights into the city's inhabitants. Remains of both animals and humans, believed to be from sacrificial rituals, have been discovered within the temple. These offerings, including buried animals and bodies with severed heads, were likely made to appease the gods or bless the construction of the pyramid. Another intriguing find at Teotihuacan is the abundance of “Mica”, a mineral typically found thousands of miles away in Brazil. This suggests a possible connection between Teotihuacan and other ancient civilizations like the Indian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Chinese, and Aztec cultures.

The discovery of mica in the lost city is incredibly important, not just because it suggests possible connections between different cultures, but also because of the mineral's intrinsic value.

Mica is highly resistant to various elements and conductors, including electricity, light, moisture, and extreme temperatures. It also possesses electrical properties and can function as an insulator.

It's worth noting that all of this existed in an ancient world, long before our supposed industrialization. Furthermore, mica can serve as a dielectric and effectively sustain an electrostatic field, releasing only minimal energy in the form of heat. The fact that this mineral is found in the structures of an ancient city is astonishing, and the potential implications for advancements during that time are truly remarkable.

The question of where we come from will always intrigue us humans. We'll keep making mind-blowing discoveries on Earth that push us closer to the truth. Teotihuacan is a great example of ancient wonders that help us understand our species and its potential. These advanced civilizations show that, despite our cultural diversity, we're all connected on a deeper level.
