Teotihuacan: Teotihuacan means 'The City of the Gods', or 'Where Men Become Gods' (in Nahuatl). It is located in the valley of the same name 30 miles north of Mexico City. Though archaeologists have long been fascinated with the site, Teotihuacan's culture and history are still largely mysterious. The civilization left massive ruins, but no trace has yet been found of a writing system and very little is known for sure about its inhabitants, who were succeeded first by the Toltecs and then by the Aztecs. The Aztecs did not live in the city, but gave the place and its major structures their current names. They considered it the 'Place of the Gods' - a place where, they believed, the current world was created.
