Teotihuacan was the Americas’ first true city. For almost 500 years, beginning about 100 C.E., Teotihuacan was one of the largest, most diverse cities in the world. It produced magnificent art and architecture and dominated both the economy and the politics of Mesoamerica. In about 550 C.E. it all came crashing down. Rick will explore the rise and fall of this amazing city, along with its art and culture.
