Teotihuacan: An Exceptional Multiethnic City in Pre-Hispanic Central Mexico

Recorded April 15, 2015

Below is the original description of the event.

This talk will stress the exceptional characteristics of the sacred city of Teotihuacan, in central Mexico, during pre-Hispanic times. Its unique multiethnic corporate structure tore Teotihuacan apart and possibly led to the revolt that set the core of the city on fire in 550 AD.
