Teotihuacan's most notable building, the Pyramid of the Sun is
the highest and 2nd largest ancient structure in Mexico.
Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History, INAH, conducted
a site-wide excavation and stabilization between 1960 and 1965,
clearing the Avenue of the Dead and stabilizing temples and platforms
along its sides.
In 1971 a man-made cave was discovered beneath the Pyramid of the
Sun. Various excavations and stabilization projects have continued to
reveal secrets of the ancient city but still much about Teotihuacan,
America's largest ancient city, remains a mystery.
Teotihuacan is noted for its mural paintings, many still
showing rich color.
