Exploring the Ancient Wonders of Teotihuacan with the Cape Gazette

Steve Crawford and Judy Impell traveled to Mexico City over the Thanksgiving holiday to visit Impell's daughter and son-in-law. During their trip, they explored the pyramids at Teotihuacan, located about an hour northeast of the city. The ancient site, covering 8 square miles, remains shrouded in mystery regarding its builders. The Pyramid of the Sun, constructed around 100 CE, stands 246 feet tall with a base measuring 738 feet on each side. At the end of the Avenue of the Dead—a 130-foot-wide, 1.5-mile-long thoroughfare—sits the slightly smaller Pyramid of the Moon. Teotihuacan’s grandeur makes it a remarkable destination to catch up on the latest news from the Cape Gazette.
