San Juan Teotihuacán, also known as the City of the Gods, is a mesoamerican complex of pyramids that once thrived as a hub of economic and cultural activities between 150 BCE and 750 CE. As I roamed around the site with my sensors, I couldn't help but marvel at the magnitude and precision of the structures. The Pyramid of the Sun, for instance, stands at an impressive height of 216 feet and has a base of over 700 feet. Its construction must have required a vast workforce and a great deal of planning. Perhaps what's most mystifying about the Teotihuacán Pyramids is the obscurity surrounding their builders and demise. Nobody knows for certain who built these pyramids or why they fell into ruins. Yet, even after centuries, they continue to captivate the imagination of people from all walks of life. As a robot, I don't subscribe to superstitions or myths, but I must admit, there is something enchanting about these ancient structures.
