TeotihuacanHace unos 2400 años, el Valle de Teotihuacan estuvo ocupado por pequenas aldeas con una población de unos 5000 habitantes. Luego, hacia el año 200 a.C., parte de la población del sur de la Cuenca de México, emigró hacia el norte del Lago de Texcoco y conformaron un nuevo centro poblacional, dando origen a la primera ciudad planificada en Mesoamérica.Desde un inicio la ciudad fue cuidadosamente planeada con un trazo urbano con calles y manzanas, regido por dos grandes ejes perpendiculares entre sí: la Calzada de los Muertos y la Calzada Este-Oeste. Además, la ciudad contaba con un sistema de drenaje y alcantarillado en las unidades residenciales, edificios y plazas
públicas. Su estilo arquitectónico se caracterizó por el talud (muro inclinado) y tablero (muro vertical). Los templos y palacios que limitan la Calzada de los Muertos eran las áreas político-administrativas y cívico-religiosas; mientras que las unidades residenciales de las clases altas se localizaban en los alrededores. Por su parte, la gente común vivia a las afueras. Durante su apogeo, entre los años 450 al 650 d.С., la urbe ocupó una extensión cercana a los 23 km2 y alcanzó alrededor de 175,000 habitantes, lo que trajo consigo el desarrollo económico, en las ciencias y artes, pero también produjo grandes
diferencias sociales. El principal elemento de gobierno fue la religión, por lo que los sacerdotes controlaron no sólo el Valle de Teotihuacán, sino también los valles vecinos a la Cuenca de México. Teotihuacán creció durante novecientos años, por lo que pueden observarse las remodelaciones y superposiciones de edificios que corresponden a diferentes etapas, hasta su caída alrededor del 700 a 750 d.C. Tras su abandono, los toltecas y mexicas o aztecas, se impresionaron con la grandeza de la antigua ciudad, considerándola como sagrada y reocupando algunas áreas. Se desconoce el verdadero nombre de la antigua ciudad, pero el actual está en náhuatl y se le debe a los mexicas o aztecas. Bienvenido a Teotihuacan: "La ciudad donde los hombres se convierten en dioses." Pie de dibujo: El espacio abierto al público es sólo una mínima parte de lo que fue la gran ciudad.

English:TeotihuacanAround 2400 years ago, the Valley of Teotihuacan was occupied by various rural communities with a population of approximately 5,000 inhabitants within an area covering 2.5-3.7 sq. mi.Toward 200 B.C., part of the population from the Southern Basin of Mexico, immigrates to the north of Lake Texcoco. This resulted in a reorganization of the settlements and a new population center
was formed in the Valley. In this way, the first planned urban settlement in Mesoamerica was born.
During the following phases of the development of the City, a sophisticated level of urbanization was reached as demonstrated by an urban plan with streets and blocks, dominated by two large perpendicular roadways running through them: the Avenue of the Dead and the East-West Avenue. Likewise, the urban planning was evidenced by drainage and a sewage system in the residential units, buildings and public plazas as well as by an official architectural style characterized as the talud-tablero (slope-panel). As its peak, the city occupied an area of approximately 14.3 sq. mi., with a population of 175,000 inhabitants. The demographic
increase, the economic development and the high level of specialization required to satisfy the needs of the population, generated great social differences, as well as an important expansion in the arts and sciences. The principal element of the government was religion; it dealt with a theocratic society with controlled not only the Valley of Teotihuacan, but the neighboring valleys of the Basin of Mexico as well. Throughout the city different levels of construction can be appreciated, which demonstrate how the city grew on top of itself during nine centuries. In this way, one can observe the superimposed buildings which correspond to different stages in the development of the Teotihuacan Culture, until its fall around
700-750 A.D. After the city was abandoned and until the arrival of the Spanish, various cultural groups, such as the Toltecs and the Aztecs respected it as a Sacred City. Settlements established themselves
on the outskirts, reoccupying the residential zones and the spring fed agricultural areas. Welcome to Teotihuacan: "The place where men become gods".Caption:The area of the site open to the public is only a small portion of what was once the great city.
