FILM SYNOPSIS:

“The Australian broadcasting group SBS recently released a documentary entitled Maya: Ancient Metropolis that highlights some of the treasures of Central America, including the Mayan settlements of Chichen Itza and Tikal, and the Aztec fortress of Teotihuacan, northeast of Mexico City, through detailed and explanatory 3-D reconstructions, and interviews with international experts. […].

Teotihuacan is one of the other wonders not to be missed during a trip to Mexico. When one sees this archaeological site for the first time and in particular its Alley of the Dead, its size and grandeur strike immediately. It was undoubtedly the same impression that the Aztecs must have had when they rediscovered the city in the 14th century, which they transformed thereafter. Born around 100 B.C., scholars speak of this city as the largest in pre-Columbian America at that time, with over 200,000 inhabitants.”(Blog Infotourisme).
