Fifteen hundred years ago, it was the largest city in the pre-Columbian Americas, with a population estimated at 125,000 or more, making it the sixth largest city in the world. Teotihuacan began as a religious center in the Mexican Highlands and grew so large that its city planning included multi-floor apartment compounds. From UW anthropologist Sarah Clayton we’ll hear about some of the latest discoveries at the giant city and what life was like there.
