PYRAMIDS OF TEOTIHUACAN (MEXICO CITY VLOG) | Eileen Aldis

- I took a bus from Mexico City to explore the ancient ruins of the pyramids of Teotihuacan! This UNESCO World Heritage Site is absolutely massive and contains the enormous Pyramid of the Sun, one of the largest pyramids in the world. My personal favourite was the Pyramid of the Moon! I climbed the very steep steps to get a view from the top that looks out over the whole complex and straight down the Avenue of the Dead. These pyramids remain largely a mystery and exactly who built them is open to discussion. Whoever built them, however, was at least one thousand years before the Aztecs! They left behind some incredible ruins for us to look at in wonder. If you're planning a trip, you can take a short (one hour) bus ride from Mexico City for 100 pesos return. There is no shade so I'd bring a hat or umbrella, sunscreen, water, snacks, and comfortable walking shoes as the ground is very uneven and you'll want to be able to climb. Have you visited Teotihuacan? Leave a comment below and tell me about your experience :)

Have you been to Teotihuacan? What was your experience?
Hi Gerardo! Yes, I have and I LOVED it. What an incredible place to see and the history is unbelievable. One of my favourite parts was seeing where they played the game with the ball. I'm glad I got to visit there :)
I been there. I went on top of the pyramid of the sun, even though I'm scared of heights. It was fun and interesting, also hot.
Good question! I'm sure I must've but I have no idea where the footage is as it was back in 2008! But I'm going to take a look :)
That's amazing! You must've really conquered your fear of heights because it's STEEP! I think even people who are more ok with heights would be freaked out! I'm glad you had a good time too. We were lucky that it was cloudy the day we went but it would be VERY hot without any shade there.
I am embarrased. I am from Queretaro and I have never been. What a shame!
You are very well informed in history my lady. I'm proud of you.
haha thanks, Marius! I always do my best to learn as much as I can :)
Informed?? Please.... child sacrifice propaganda at the sun pyramid?? she knows nothing ...
@@1234kalki get lost
I'm Mexican and I'm sorry if my English is bad because I'm using the translator 😂😂 but you actually do very good videos and expose the people of the United States the other side of Mexico congratulations and keep it up
You did a good job writing your comment!
That looks so cool! I definitely need to make my way to Mexico. Those pyramids are beautiful ❤️
They're incredible! The mystery surrounding their origins made the experience even more magical to me. Mexico is amazing and I hope you'll love your visit as much as I did! :)
Aprovecha ! Un dólar cuesta 21 pesos....
We just got back from Mexico City yesterday! We went to visit the pyramids. We took the bus from the north bus station. Very easy! Loved your video. We had so much fun in Mexico City. Enjoy your travels.
Thanks, Cecilia! Your name is so pretty! I'm glad you had such an awesome time there - I absolutely loved it too! I also found the bus really easy and convenient to take. So nice to have that option. Thanks again for watching! :)
Mi México lindo y querido 😍😍😍😍
It was amazing I love my country viva Mexico !! * :)
Great video! and those drone shots were amazing!
Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed! I was happy with them too because you can really see how huge Teotihuacan is!
Such an amazing place. Great video! Can't believe we missed each other there by only hours! Thomas
Hi Thomas! Yeah, it is super crazy that we all JUST missed each other! What are the odds?!
Quiero ir a Mexico hermoso país
¡es espectacular!
That jaguar-sounding whistle is known as "the breath of death" and was used by Aztec warriors when attacking their enemies, they used a lot of smoke and that sound, to terrorize opponents
your videos just get better and better. can't wait for the next------aa
Thank you so much for watching and supporting our channel! We're uploading three times per week - next one will be up tomorrow! :)

We definitely visited amazing places!! Thank you for watching :)
; )
hi eileen! I love your videos about my country, and it surprises me how well you know about the history of each place you visit, greetings from Mexico.
Hi Rita! Thanks so much! Very happy to hear you're enjoying the videos :) Greetings to you!
You two deserve an award! I love watching your videos. And even though I know there places well... I see them through fresh eyes for the first time again... thanks to you two !

I am so obses whit your videos I can not stop of seen them !!!!!!!!!! Love it! this information is really good for me
Huge congrats you did a nice one video!
Wooow cool! Nice place to visit!
Incredible sight!
@@EileenAldis greetings from BC. I love your videos! & Mexico city too
You have to go to Ciudad Universitaria UNAM.. once you are there you have to check the soccer stadium, its a piece of art. Also you can check the library. There is an amazing mural!
I wish I had time to see more!! I did visit another incredible library that BLEW MY MIND. It's going to be in a future video :) Thanks for the recommendations - I hope to go back to see and do (and eat!) more!
So you are not in Mexico city ? Well if you are planning to go back i highly recommend La Cineteca Nacional. Its a place full of movies from all over the world...
No :( This was shot last week and we're now down in Colombia! I fell in love with CDMX and really miss it. I LOVE movies - thanks for the tip!!
I see.. Cdmx is full of cultural activities. I like to experience all that.Its nice you can go to the most visited places for tourists but if you go more deeper you are going to find a lot of fun. New ways to live the city. For example if you go to experience music concerts, going to theaters or night life etc etc. I like your videos i hope you can come back any time soon.
Yes, there's a delay because it takes time to edit :) I made lots more videos in Mexico and CDMX that are still coming. Thank you! I can't wait to return someday!
Canadians are the very best of our north. Very welcome always...
There is an awesome store near there called Artesanias Premier. They got all kinds of high quality hand made stuff including jewelry, rock ornaments, and more. I got me a very big Aztec calendar made of cloth, very colorful. It looks awesome.
Hi! Thanks for sharing that - sounds like you got a cool souvenir :)
Great video, good inspiration for our trip there soon. Thank you for sharing
Thank you! Hope you have a fantastic trip and enjoy it as much as we did.
I climbed the pyramid of the sun in 1975 when I was much nimbler! Not many people then. - Susan W
That's so cool, Susan! There are a lot of tourists these days but less so in the morning before the tour buses arrive :) The Pyramid of the Sun is incredibly large and imposing. Amazing to imagine its being built!
Lovely channel! I'm glad I found it. Thank you for all the information about the Pyramid. I want to visit it one day
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope you'll visit one day as it is truly a special place 😊
Hey I love your videos they are perfectly edited - love the content - the music in them & all the places that you've been to.
Nunca abia mirado tu canal pero es mut interesante👍
¡Gracias! ¡Me alegro de que lo estés disfrutando! Bienvenido a nuestro canal :)
We're going there to film in the summer! This video was very helpful! I love that you added historical facts to this video. did you hire a driver while you were out there?
Thank you and that is awesome! I hope you have a great time! No, we took the bus from the north bus station in Mexico City and returned the same way. The bus dropped us off right by the entrance to the site and picked us up in the same spot which was very convenient and a great value for the bus cost. Also, we weren't able to go due to timing, but there's a really cool looking restaurant there that, if you haven't heard of yet, you should try to check out! It's called La Gruta and it's in a cave! lagruta.mx/
you can take an UBER also
We took an Uber to and from the bus station.
ya visitaste las de chichen itza y uxmal?

@@EileenAldis is the drive safe
I have been atop the Chiziniza sp pyramids when they used to let you go up.
I might just enjoy the view from the ground this time.
I have your video to watch for a view from the top.
Canadian?

Thanks!
Thank you! It was shot with a DJI Phantom 4 Pro :)
ONLY ONE SMALL DETAIL, YOU MUST VISIT THE RESTAURANT "LA GRUTA" IS WONDERFUL.COMIDA PREHISPANICA.
Hi!! Loved your video. We are planning to go there next year. Is it allowed to use drone? Any Tips pls. Thank you so much 💕
thankyou so much miss love México.
I love Mexico too.
Did you know that Teotihuacan pyramids was an inspiration to Ridley Scott's movie Blade Runner? Look for the Tyrell building.
By the way... Great video, great work! Also you did a good investigation. Thanks to visit us!
Thank you! No, I've never heard that before about Blade Runner. We loved visiting Mexico and made a whole series there if you're interested: bit.ly/MexicoPlaylist :)
Yes! I want to see more of your vids! I found your channel recently. I just subscribed. Take care!
Thanks so much, Joe! That means a lot!
did you visit Chichen Itza? we went to Teotihuacan recently, i did enjoy chichen itza more even though i prefer the Aztec History more. it does get a bit crowded getting on the temples which makes it harder going up :P
Yes, we were there in 2008 and I agree with you that I preferred it to visiting Teotihuacan, although both have incredible stories. We also visited Cobá which we were able to climb and also really enjoyed :)
I heard those tiger/panther sounds too, doesn't stop scaring me LOL
haha yeah I was really surprised by them!
FROM;LAS VEGAS;really, cool great video; thanks so much; LOVE CDMX
Hi Juan! Happy to hear you liked the video! It's an incredible site to visit!
Try to visit Tolantongo in Hidalgo you will be amazed
unlike the pyramids of Egypt you can actually climb these. how cool
Thank you hun love you!!
Glad you enjoyed the video, Luis! :)
I will be going theres in a few days and was wondering if drones were allowed and I see you got some aerial shots. Did you have to pay a fee ? did you have to hide? Hahha or how did you manage or is it completely allowed ? would appreciate your response!
How much did the enternece cost and which bus did u take ?
cuando los europeos llegaron aqui, quedaron maravillados de la ciudad que estaba sobre un lago.
Thank you for your comment - hope you enjoyed the video!
Te refieres a Tenochtitlán, fundada por los aztecas, esta es Teotihuacán, es otra ciudad, ya existía cuando llegaron los aztecas en su búsqueda de donde fundar su ciudad.
asi es.
Eso era tenochtitlan la ciudad construida por los mexicas (México city now) y este video es de Teotihuacán ( nadie sabe quién construyó esto) cosas muy diferentes
Hi Eileen, my name is Jorge. I like your videos. Do you live in Mexico City or the states?
Hi Jorge! Thanks for watching! I'm Canadian but I'm a nomad right now so I'm travelling and living lots of places :)
🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
I just went Last Year Great Video..I ask The Same Questions...Wonder How There Life Wus
Cool! It's fun to imagine as you're walking around :)
@@EileenAldis is That The Only Place U Been In Mexico Have You Ever Been To Michoacan My Parents Birthplace Avocado Land🥑🥑💯🇲🇽I Like Mexico City Just Way To Crowed For Me...Where Are You From If U Dont Mind Me Asking
@@locorangel9847 We're from Canada 🇨🇦 We've been all over Mexico and made a lot of videos! We love it so much! Here are our Mexico videos if you'd like to see more: bit.ly/MexicoPlaylist :) We haven't been to where your parents are from but I love avocados haha. Would love to see more of beautiful Mexico ❤️
There's a beautiful pyramid peacefully living in teotihuacan. It is modest in size But it makes up for it Thanks to the Beautifully Artistic Facade . His name is the Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent! And it has Huge Quetzalcoatl Head sculptures blooming out of it, It is decorated with seashells and also has Tlaloc (⬅ Rain/Water god i think) sculptures. I mention itBecause i usually never ever See it on teotihuacan blogs, And i'm curious about if people see it or miss it.
Hi! Wow, that sounds like a beautiful pyramid but unfortunately I didn't see it. We ran out of time to see more but I'm sure there was a lot that we missed as it's such a big place! My favourite that we saw was the Pyramid of the Moon and it was also really cool to see the cat mural :)
Moño Sembello the reason it's because the distance you have to walk like a mile or more to the other side of moon pyramid down on the dead walk but It's the most impressive and detail pyramid also has an square surrounded that can be flooded which was used to represent the myth of creation.
A friend of mine in Mexico told me it was expensive to visit the pyramids, but wasn't sure of the price. How much did it cost you in pesos?
Hi Renee! I didn't find it expensive at all. The roundtrip bus ticket from Mexico City is 100 pesos and 70 pesos to get in. So one person can go for 170 pesos which is just over $12 CAD. Well worth it! It can be much more if you go with a tour so perhaps that's what your friend was referring to.
El desgaste de las estructuras piramidales es terrible. No fueron construidas para la cantidad de gente que sube en ellas y lo más terrible es que a las autoridades mexicanas no les importa esa situación. Cada que suban a estas estructuras antigüas piensen que contribuyen a su acelerada destrucción.
Buen video congratulations. eres linda saludos. you are Nice.
¡Hola! Muchas gracias y muy feliz de que disfrutó el video :)
I like your videos - very well done.
Thanks a lot!
Short video but it's ok I wish you make it longer
Is there food there?
We didn't go here but it looks really cool: www.tripadvisor.ca/Restaurant_Review-g499421-d1209971-Reviews-La_Gruta_Restaurant-San_Juan_Teotihuacan_Central_Mexico_and_Gulf_Coast.html
If you go, let me know how it is!
Great video!, Not such like Pyramids, they are more like Volcanos Structures, aren´t they?
Thanks, Armando! I'm not sure if the pyramids contain volcanic rock or not but that's a good question...
Que es Interesante, la ciudad de los dioses. Dioses muchos. Ναί, pero para nosotros solo hay un Dios. de quien yo sirvo.
Don't go Sundays is free for Nationals. This is under the sun, waiting on line for 2 hours is not fun and you will get a headache will not enjoy it. Go during the week.
The Toltec Empire built them. Similar to the Aztecs.
no human sacrifice
Name your sources. #facts
There is no proof that they performed human sacrifice. You try to find any source that can state that they have definitive proof...
www.newscientist.com/article/dn6756-mexican-tomb-reveals-gruesome-human-sacrifice/
not proof of human sacrifice
wet timguavass There were documenting of human sacrifice, but it wasn't to a large scale somewhat minimal and it was mostly prisoners of war/criminals that were sacrificed.
GO TO THE LATINOAMERICAN TOWER OR TORRE LATINOAMERICANO TO CHECK THE SKYLINE OF MEXICO
I love that building - it's actually one of my favourites in the city! We tried to go up one night but it was late and unfortunately we didn't get to go up but I did get some other great views of the city to see the skyline :) I loved having a coffee at the Sears patio across from Bellas Artes where you can see the tower from nearby too!
How tall are you ?
I'm about 5'8"
The same people that moses pulled out of Egypt built those pyramids.
2 Esdras 13:40-46
[40]Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, and so came they into another land.
[41]But they took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt,
[42]That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land.
[43]And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow places of the river.
[44]For the most High then shewed signs for them, and held still the flood, till they were passed over.
[45]For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth.
[46]Then dwelt they there until the latter time; and now when they shall begin to come,
Americans also, but not all... I think everybody understands...
those pyramids where no used for worship
That's what I found whilst reading about it but I'm sure, as with all history, it's open to interpretation. Thanks for watching!
Don't listen to that guy lol he leaves weird comments.
did the stairs felt like it was not designed for humans?
That's an interesting question! The steps were very, very steep.
@@EileenAldis Yeah, I have been reading this Swiss writer Erich von Däniken lately. He thinks that there is a good propability that Teotihuacan pyramids are made by extraterrestials and one of his thoughts are that the Teotihuacan might be some kind of abandoned airport if I remember it correct. I found it intresting detail that you said that the stairs were very big and hard to move on. You know there's some giants even in the Bible.
Teotihuacan is in the state of Mexico not the state of the federal district.
When I went we just took an Uber there and our driver hung out with us 😂😂
Sounds fun!
I like to see Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul.

Teotihuacan was made by my people the Aztecs .
Hi Sergio, Researchers believe it was constructed at least a thousand years before the Aztecs. There seems to be a lot of debate about who it was. Either way, it's incredible to see and extremely old!
to know better about the aztecs you have to be one of them , thank you for your video .
Nadie sabe quién construyó Teotihuacán, es un misterio, los aztecas también vieron ruinas, además el arte Teotihuacano sirvió de base para la construcción estética de Tenochtitlán.
Hi, Sergio! Eileen and Armando are right. In fact, the term "Aztec" is not correct. The correct term is "mexica" or "mexicas" (the X is pronounced "sh"). The Aztecs lived in Aztlán ("the place of the herons", and nobody knows where it was). The mexica people fled from the Aztecs and, after a long trip, they arrived to the Texcuco's lake (today is Mexico City), they settled and founded Mexico-Tenochtitlan. During their trip they passed through Teotihuacan, that was abandoned and in ruins. They call it that way. Many experts believe that his name means "the place where the gods born", this is náhuatl, a language mostly spoken in the center of Mexico. Regards.
The biggest pyramid in entire world is just a pile of rocks with nothing inside. So in fact it's rather a kind of artificial mountain, and it's a pyramid only by name :). Do you have a video from Egyptian pyramids? There are no many cool places to show us.
