Pyramid of the Moon (Teotihuacan)
PyramidCentral America
Second-largest pyramid at Teotihuacan, aligned with the symmetry axis of the city and the contour of the sacred Mount Tlaloc behind it. 43 m tall. Built in seven construction phases between 100 BCE and 350 CE. Recent excavations have revealed elaborate offerings and burials beneath the pyramid.
Look Closer — this site carries open questions: stones heavier than the period's tools could lift; geometry beyond period explanation; stones fitted without mortar, almost no gap.
