the air may have been more rarified then
and the wind cooler, the sun had
a different status, but nevertheless
it shone as it does now, fierce and remote
what mattered was to be prepared
the heights beckoned and climbing was
better than descending, gravity
seemed to lessen its hold and it was easier to see
a kind of connectedness, houses,
dusty roads where people were moving
and you could see that this place
was not the only one, nor was this city nor
this time, your heart was pounding and you thought
in vain about love, about having choices,
freedom or solace and you felt a foolish
longing to meet someone and then
you thought of the birds again, you'd
always been in awe of them, the way
they'd spread their wings at the last moment,
to set sail in the sky

Built between 100 and 200 CE, its size of 225 meters (738 feet) across and 75 meters (246 feet) high, makes it the third largest pyramid in the world. It is thought that the pyramid venerated a deity within Teotihuacan society.
The name ''Pyramid of the Sun'' comes from the Aztecs, who visited the ancient city of Teotihuacan many centuries after it was abandoned.

Teotihuacan,40 kilometres (25 mi) northeast of modern-day Mexico City, is the site of many of the most architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids built in the pre-Columbian Americas.
