TEOTIHUACAN: THE GREATEST CITY NO ONE REMEMBERS BUILDING

Episode 17 | History's Mysteries — Unexplained Structures & PlacesIn this Mystery episode we focus on Teotihuacan — the city that housed up to two hundred thousand people at its peak around 400 AD, one of the largest cities on earth, whose builders left no deciphered writing, no confirmed royal portraits, and no name for themselves.This episode covers what the archaeology tells us about the city's construction and function, the LiDAR surveys that revealed the urban network was far larger than anyone understood, the tunnel excavated since 2003 beneath the Temple of the Feathered Serpent, and what the evidence suggests about why the city was deliberately burned and abandoned around 600 AD.When the Aztecs found it a thousand years later, they decided the gods must have built it.#HistoryMystery #Teotihuacan #AncientHistory #Archaeology #MysteryPodcast
