The teotihuacanos settled down in the northeast of the valley of Mexico.
A lot of heat and moderate rains
Pine, encino, Ahuehuete or Sabino and the
Cedar; Ahuehuetes and Sallows would be skirting the you cause of the rivers
while the big plains were covered for grass of very good quality; it is thought
that the exploitation of these hills was very important part of the final cause
of the city since the extinction of the forests change the environment of the
place
They had government's teocrático form in which the priests are the maximum
authority
The
religion was a fundamental instance in the life teotihuacana. Their gods will
be those that later on would characterize most of the Meso-American divinities.
It is possible to distinguish Tláloc (God
of the Rain), Quetzalcoatl (the Feathered
Snake), Xipe Totec (God of the
Fertility), Huehueteotl (the old God of the
Fire), among other. The cults in the sun and the moon is strongly represented
by the pyramids that today takes its names and that they occupied central
points in the layout of the city. Also, there was a great concern for the cult
to the water, as much the celestial (rain) water as the terrestrial (slopes,
rivers and lakes) one. They also adored the snake, to the jaguar and the birds
falcónidas. The priests were represented in statuettes and ceramic paintings
with so much frequency as they were it the gods, being clear their importance
in the daily life. The sepulchres of the characters of social bigger hierarchy
were generally made in ritual areas, as temples or pyramids, and they were
accompanied by numerous ceramic offerings, stone objects and, very commonly, of
masks of stones semipreciosas.
Their palaces were richly adorned by
paintings murals where the figures of certain animals, the gods and other
characters related with the religion were represented. The rest of the
population lived in constructions that consisted on apartments of a single
plant in those that ended up joining between 60 and 100 individuals. You ended
up building more than 2.000 housings of this type.
The teotihuacanos built pyramids which
offered to the gods. The main and bigger pyramids that built were those of the
Sun and that of the Moon. These pyramids have an impressive size and I eat
their name he/she says it they were made for the Sun and for the Moon
