The Pyramid of the Sun, located in Teotihuacan near Mexico City, is one of the largest and most impressive pyramids in the world. This ancient Mesoamerican structure was built around 200 CE by the Teotihuacan civilization and stands approximately 65 meters (213 feet) tall, making it the third-largest pyramid globally. The pyramid is part of a larger complex that includes the Pyramid of the Moon and the Avenue of the Dead. It is constructed from millions of tons of volcanic rock and was originally covered with a layer of lime plaster that would have made it gleam in the sunlight.
