Teotihuacan

Hello! My name is Estrella and I want to tell you that Teotihuacan means the place where gods were created and it's a big archaeological place located in the state of Mexico.
Wally and me went there with my parents. We walked through the avenue of the Dead which is the principal avenue in Teotihuacan. There are two important pyramids: " The pyramid of the Sun" which is the highest pyramid in Mesoamerica North Maya and "The pyramid of the moon" which is known for its beauty, it's about 116 feet high and faces south with a view of the city. In front of this pyramid is the Plaza of the moon. Teotihuacan was one of the largest cities in the world and is known for craft activities, water god called Tlaloc and Quetzalcoatl. The ancestors created a beautiful calendar and they are known by their knowledge about astronomy and herbal medicine. Today Teotihuacan is one of the most noted archaeological attractions in Mexico. I hope Wally had lots of fun with me and my family.

  2. Hi! I'm a 4th grader in Pennsylvania. It was really cool to read about the pyramids that you went to with Wally. I really wish I was there with you. I really can't belive " The pyrimid of the moon" is really 116 feet high. Then the "the pyrimid of the Sun" must be so high!!!
    By the way, I have a question for you: What is another place you have been to with your family that is historic to your country?

  5. HI!!!!!!! It's really cool that you went to the pyramids in Mexico with Wally & your family. I'm sure that Wally enjoyed it. I, myself would like to go there with Wally. The "Pyrimid of the Sun" seems so high if the "Pyrimid of the Moon" is 116 feet high. I'm so amazed. By the way, I have a question for you: How does the people in Mexico feel when they are at the pyrimids? Why?
