Tenayuca is an ancient Mesoamerican archeological site located in Tlalnepantla de Baz, Mexico. This site is home to the Tenayuca Pyramid, one of the earliest examples of Aztec architecture, believed to have been constructed around the 13th century. The pyramid is notable for its double stairway and the presence of serpent heads, which symbolize the feathered serpent deity, Quetzalcoatl. Tenayuca played a significant role in the region's pre-Hispanic history and provides valuable insights into the cultural and religious practices of the time.
