The main buildings of Teotihuacan are connected by the Avenue of the Dead which is a 130-foot- (40-meter-) wide, 1.5-mile- (2.4-km-) long road that’s oriented slightly east (15.5 degrees) of true north and points directly at the nearby sacred peak of Cerro Gordo, an extinct volcano. Teotihuacan is arranged in a grid layout that covers about 8 square miles and it contains around 2,000 single-story apartment compounds, as well as various pyramids, plazas, temples and palaces of nobles and priests. Can Teotihuacan Pyramids be compared with Egyptian Pyramids ?
