It is also one of the famous buildings in North America. It was probably built around 300 AD, in the shape of a trapezoid, facing east and west, with a volume of 100 The pyramid is composed of 6 layers of gradually shrinking trapezoidal steps, and there are wide stone steps leading to the top facing west. As the religious core of Teotihuacan civilization, the Pyramid of the Sun, the Pyramid of the Moon and the Temple of Quetzalcoatl together constitute a holy city covering an area of 20 square kilometers.Visitors can climb 248 steps to the top of the tower and overlook the "Avenue of the Dead" and the continuous volcanoes that run through the ancient city. The Pyramid of the Sun is not only an outstanding representative of the Teotihuacan civilization, reflecting the architectural technology, artistic level and religious beliefs of the ancient Indians at that time, but its orientation is also closely related to astronomical phenomena, and is of great value to the study of the development and evolution of ancient Mesoamerican civilization.
