How did an ancient empire build a city without metal tools?
Explore the engineering marvels of Teotihuacán, a massive Mexican metropolis so impressive that the Aztecs attributed its construction to the gods. This documentary investigates the incredible feats of labor and the mysteries behind its sudden disappearance.
The film examines the monumental scale of the Pyramid of the Sun, which was assembled using more than 1 million cubic meters of rock. Remarkably, this feat was achieved without the assistance of pack animals or metal tools. The investigation also delves into the darker side of the city's history, including evidence of beheadings at the Pyramid of the Moon.
Beyond the surface, the documentary explores the discovery of a glittering underground tunnel containing Maya treasures, helping to reconstruct the narrative of an empire that once dominated Mesoamerica before vanishing into ash.
