Cañada de la Virgen: San Miguel’s Pyramid. Talk
Mon/Lun Ene/Jan 30, 3pm. Teatro Santa Ana Donations 60 pesos
There are probably thousands of pyramids in Mesoamerica, the majority of which have not been excavated. Mesoamerica is a large area that extends from central Mexico to the northern boundaries of Central America. It includes the southern part of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and the western parts of El Salvador and Honduras. The names of the ancient civilizations of Mesoamerica are well-known: Aztec, Maya, Olmec, Teotihuacan, Toltec and Zapotec. All of these cultures built pyramids. Which one made San Miguel’s pyramid? Actually, we are not supposed to have pyramids this far north. Most diagrams of Mesoamerica place San Miguel de Allende outside of its northern boundary. Nevertheless, San Miguel has a pyramid.
