The ancient city of Teotihaucan is shrouded in mystery. No one knows much about the people who built it or why they later abandoned the city. Most of what is known about the city is mere conjecture, theories developed based on the structures and artifacts that scientist and researchers have found there. Still now, there is much to be explored and uncovered. Maybe today's mysteries will soon be solved. More >>

Question: How long does it take to climb the Pyramid of the Sun? I think that chanda will win.
Answer: Nancy won! It is important to know that the pyramid of the sun is located at 7800ft above sea level. It also over 60 meters tall (over thirty stories tall). I didn't count the steps because I was too tired, but Nancy made it to the top in about 2 minutes.
