Mexico's Teotihuacan and Its Artworks

🔮 I visited Teotihuacan, located about an hour and a half drive from Mexico City. This ancient city is home to the famous 'Pyramid of the Sun' and 'Pyramid of the Moon,' names that are familiar to many. Seeing this place, which I had only encountered in history textbooks, in person was a truly moving experience. The most impressive feature was the sheer size of the Pyramid of the Sun. As I approached it, I felt an overwhelming sense of awe. The climb to the top was quite steep, but the panoramic view from the summit made the effort worthwhile. The expansive ruins stretching out into the distance combined with the open sky created a unique sense of tranquility. 🌳 The Pyramid of the Moon, though smaller than the Pyramid of the Sun, felt more orderly due to its location and layout. Walking slowly along the 'Avenue of the Dead,' which connects the ruins, I found it fascinating to imagine the lives of the people who once lived there. 🍁 While there were many tourists, it didn’t feel overly crowded. However, the sun was intense, so hats and water were essential. Near the entrance, there were numerous souvenir shops, and the distinctive obsidian crafts of the area stood out. If you have an interest in history and culture, this is a must-visit destination. It’s more than just a tourist spot; it’s an experience that feels like traveling back in time. 🌲 Mexican folk art, rooted in Maya and Aztec civilizations, is characterized by vibrant colors and symbolism inspired by nature and mythology. Handicrafts, pottery, and textiles are among its most representative forms. 🌺
