    This dispatch is from the ancient archaeological site at Teotihuacán, in Mexico. I walked around the ruins with a guide, and learned about how the people who built the site planned it in a way that helped them track time. Scholars theorize that the structures at Teotihuacán were built to align with the cosmos on certain days of the year, which let the people know when it was time to plant crops or conduct rituals.
    Vox Borders is a new international series focused on telling the human stories that emerge from lines on the map. I've traveled to six different border locations to produce a final set of documentaries. While I travel I'm releasing video dispatches on TH-cam and Facebook, documenting my experiences in a vlog that's independent from the final Vox Borders documentaries. Learn more: www.vox.com/bor...
