Teotihuacan
The Mayan city in today's Mexico has mysterious origins.
By Kelly Hearn
It was massive, one of the first great cities of the Western Hemisphere. And its origins are a mystery.
It was built by hand more than a thousand years before the swooping arrival of the Nahuatl-speaking Aztec in central Mexico. But it was the Aztec, descending on the abandoned site, no doubt falling awestruck by what they saw, who gave its current name: Teotihuacan.
