Teotihuacán: The place where, "Men Became Gods!" Teotihuacán (pronounced "teh-oh-tee-wa-khan") means "place where gods were born," reflecting the Aztec belief that the gods created the universe here. This page features the very nice museum at Teotihuacán. It is tempting to look at the other places first, but we recommend seeing the museum first so that you can get a good idea about what you are going to see at Teotihuacán. Museo Teotihuacán. This is an excellent state-of-the-art museum which holds interactive exhibits and, in one part, a glass floor on which visitors walk above mock-ups of the pyramids. Also on display are the findings of recent digs, including several tombs, with skeletons wearing necklaces of human and simulated jawbones, and newly discovered sculptures. There are also many artifacts on display outside of the museum. Plan to spend an hour or more at the Museo Teotihuacán. We will feature a collage of the inside of the museum and the outdoor displays on this page.
