🚗: Teotihuacan

These photos depict my own personal journey throughout the day. The first picture is the first picture that I took of the pyramids before any of us had climbed them. In those beginning moments I was extremely excited to be where I was. I had never seen these types of massive constructions in all of my life. They were such a contrast to the massive skyscrapers that we have here in Atlanta, but their age and their tie to my culture made me feel proud.

Going in, I knew that I wanted to climb the Moon Pyramid because of its ties to the Great Goddess. As a massive feminist and as a Mexican woman, it was important for me that I honor such an important figure head. Sitting on top of that pyramid I soaked in the view and reflected on the meaning of being there on the top. Because of the elevation of the land, the Moon Pyramid techinically has the highest point in Teotihuacan, but it isn’t the largest pyramid. This reminds of the role that Mexican woman play in their families. Much like the second photo, Mexican woman have a clear view of the rest of the family and while they are technically not in charge, they often wield the most power.

The last picture is of me waiting at the bottom of the Sun Pyramid, which I did not climb. I think that in the moment I was very afraid to climb up because of how massive it was, but I was also feeling a cramp in one of my legs from dehydration. I was disappointed in myself, but I had to remember that I did my best and that I needed to kind to myself. I was impeccable with my word and climbed the one pyramid I said I would.

Sun From Afar I don't know who was or was not permitted to visit the top of the Sun Temple.There may have been no hierarchy and anyone was allowed to visit the top.
