Teotihuacan

The City of the Gods — a grid-planned metropolis aligned to astronomical events that pre-dates the Aztecs by over a thousand years.

What mainstream archaeology says

Teotihuacan was built around 100 BCE and flourished until around 550 CE. Its builders are unknown. The Aztecs named it 'the place where the gods were created' after finding it already abandoned.

What the evidence actually shows

The Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan sits directly over a natural cave system — a feature clearly intentional, suggesting ritual or astronomical significance. The city's main axis is offset from true north by 15.5 degrees, matching the setting point of the Pleiades on a specific date. Mica — found in large quantities inside the pyramid — has no known functional use in ancient Mexican construction and is not locally sourced.

Key facts

  • Pyramid of the Sun built over a natural lava tube cave — intentional placement
  • City grid rotated 15.5° from true north to align with Pleiades setting
  • Mica sheets found inside Pyramid of the Sun — no local source, no known purpose
  • Unknown builders — the Aztecs arrived 700 years after it was already abandoned
