Pyramid of the Moon

The Pyramid of the Moon is a pre-Aztecan pyramid located at the Teotihuacan archaeological site in Mexico. It is one of the largest pyramids in the world and was built by the ancient Teotihuacanos around 100 AD. The pyramid is significant because it is part of a larger complex that includes other important structures such as the Pyramid of the Sun, the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, and the Avenue of the Dead. Recently, on April 20, 2026, a shooting occurred at the site, resulting in the death of one Canadian tourist and injuring six others. This event has brought attention to the site and its importance as a cultural and historical landmark, highlighting the need for increased security measures to protect tourists and visitors.
