The place is pretty dry these days. Details are hazy. There was apparently human sacrifice. The remains of young people were found at each corner at each level of the Sun Pyramid, which was once festooned with red and yellow stripes. Located at the exact geographical centre of the city is the central square, Ciudadela, which would've probably held the entire population, estimated to be up to 200,000 at its peak.
Large steps line each side of the stadium.
What ancient version of the Super Bowl took place here one can only imagine. Lining the Avenue of the Dead are stone condos, obviously reserved for the yuppies of their time, getting more opulent as one approaches the Temple of the Moon. One of the largest apartments, which is now in the process of being excavated, is one of the few open to tourists. The home had many large rooms leading to a central courtyard, decorated with painted frescos that can still be seen today. Whoever they were, they lived well.
