Cuicuilco Pyramid, Mexico City, Mexico
- Cuicuilco Pyramid, Mexico City, Mexico.
- The temple mound is at the heart of what’s believed to be the oldest city in the Valley of Mexico, dating back to 1400 BCE.
- The great pyramid was constructed somewhere around 800 CE by a civilization whose religious life centered around the worship of an ancient Mesoamerican deity known as the “Old God of Fire”. Between 245-315 CE the nearby volcano Xitle erupted and covered the city with lava, surrounding also the great pyramid.
