Its privileged location and its large size (over an area of 20 square kilometers) made it possible for this city to house <b>more than 150,000 citizens<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h3>Innovations in urban design<\/h3>\n<p>Obviously <b>Teotihuac\u00e1n stands out for its urban structure<\/b>. The city was organized through a <b>perfectly structured system of roadways<\/b>. In addition, it also had an innovative <b>drainage system<\/b>, the Teotihuacan people were very clever and organized. \ud83d\udca6<\/p>\n<p>Historians have also evidenced the existence of <b>residential complexes<\/b>, and to this day many of these areas are still preserved in good conditions. <\/p>\n<h3>The Causeway of the Dead<\/h3>\n<p>We cannot speak of the archaeological zone and the history of Teotihuacan without talking about the Causeway of the Dead, which <b>formed the central axis of the city<\/b>. It is estimated that this &#8220;street&#8221; extended along <b>5 kilometers<\/b>, and that it had a width of <b>40 meters<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/causeway-dead.jpg?resize=635%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"views of the causeway of the dead\" title=\"Causeway of the Dead\" width=\"635\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-23803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/causeway-dead.jpg?w=635&amp;ssl=1 635w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/causeway-dead.jpg?resize=95%2C60&amp;ssl=1 95w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Along this route you will find the pyramids of the city<\/b>, and it is said that the mounds that were located along this road are where the Teotihuacans were buried.

Historians consider this &#8220;city of the gods&#8221; to be one of the <b>key architectural references at the time of the construction of the pyramids.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>The pyramids of Teotihuacan<\/b> were built through an <b>innovative technique<\/b>. To reach the top they alternated the use of platforms on the walls. That is to say, on an inclined wall the stones were placed on different platforms. In this way <b>the construction process was accelerated and many &#8220;construction accidents&#8221;<\/b> were avoided. <\/p>\n<h3>Pyramid of the Sun<\/h3>\n<p>At <b>65 meters high<\/b> The Pyramid of the Sun \u2600\ufe0f is claimed to be <b>the largest archaeological building in the city<\/b>.
