Of course, we took a short trip to see these pyramids. I was a little surprised at how easily they let anyone climb them without supervision. Happily, I did not see any vandalism. A similar thing happened when I was in Roman ruins in Morocco. I guess people have more respect for history than I expected.
I do not have much to say about these as I do not know the history, but I am happy to have gone there. After we visited them, we walked behind one of them a bit to a restaurant that was setup in a cave.
It was a really cool to climb down the steps of the cave to a huge open room to have lunch.

How does a #Teotihuacan altar end up in the Maya centre of #Tikal in Guatemala, some 1,000 km away?
Ramírez's et al. offer an quite intriguing answer including 5th century BCE conflict, politics, and client kings in their @Antiquity 99(404), 2025 🔓 paper here:

In de oude Maya-metropool #Tikal in #Guatemala hebben archeologen een altaar blootgelegd dat heel verrassend niet door de Maya’s is gemaakt. Experts zien het volk van #Teotihuacan, een compleet andere inheemse cultuur uit de tijd van de Maya’s, als de makers. Mogelijk heeft dat te maken met handel tussen de #Maya’s en dit volk tussen 300 en 500 n. Chr.

Надо будет пересмотреть фото из Каппадокии, но навскидку кажется, что здесь не хуже.
Наш шар далековато от пирамид был, а некоторые чуть не касались их. Зато и пирамида Солнца, и пирамида Луны, и Аллея мёртвых в кадр одновременно попадали.

Полетал на воздушном шаре над пирамидами Teotihuacan. Около часа из Мехико добираться, так что проснуться нужно очень рано. Про пирамиды давно знал и хотел посетить, а вот о том, что здесь проводят прогулки на воздушных шарах, узнал совсем недавно.
Очень понравилось. Теперь на телефоне и на камере миллион однотипных фото, каждое из которых мне нравится. Еще бы жилую застройку снести 😀.

I played #Teotihuacan (I had to search for the spelling!) and it was…ok? The rondel / dice strength part was fun. I spent the game resource constrained. Meaning I couldn’t score that many points. The central ziggurat? Nah, bobbins. Trying to figure out what matches what drags the game on. Quick actions, 1:30ish (with four)? Yeah it’d be a game I’d play again. 3.5 hours? Outstayed its welcome by double. #BoardGames #BrettSpiele @brettspiele
