At its peak, Teotihuacan housed over 125,000 people. The Pyramid of the Sun aligns with the setting of the Pleiades on certain days.

What Is Debated

The identity of the city's builders and their language remains unknown — they left no written records.

The Mystery

Who built Teotihuacan, and why was it abandoned?
