- Summary:
- This film recounts archaeologists' recent successes in solving the longstanding mysteries of the ancient Mesoamerican city-state of Teotihuacan, "the first metropolis of the Americas," which was built in the 2nd century AD and was abandoned some time in the 6th century. This massive built environment, situated in the midst of a 5,000 acre archaeological site-one of the largest such sites in the world-has not been linked to any other known culture, but had cultural relations with the Maya region and inspired later civilizations in the Central Highlands of Mexico, including the Toltecs and the Aztecs.
