“An altar from the Teotihuacan culture, at the pre-Hispanic heart of what became Mexico, was discovered in Tikal National Park in Guatemala, the center of Mayan culture, demonstrating the interaction between the two societies, Guatemala’s Culture and Sports Ministry announced Monday. The enormous city-state of Tikal, whose towering temples still stand in the jungle, battled for centuries with the Kaanul dynasty for dominance of the Maya world. Far to the north in Mexico, just outside present day Mexico City, Teotihuacan (‘the city of the gods’ or ‘the place where men become gods’) is best known for its twin Temples of the Sun and Moon. It was actually a large city that housed over 100,000 inhabitants and covered around 8 square miles (20 square kilometers). The still mysterious city was one of the largest in the world at its peak between 100 B.C. and A.D. 750.” (04/07/25)
