TEOTIHUACAN. HEXAGRAM. About the origin of Teotihuacan it is known not very much. Previously it was believed that it was built byAztecs. But the city was abandoned before seven centuries till that how in the XV century Aztecs appeared there who gave the modern name to the complex. The true builders of the city remained uncertain. Today, for convenience, they areoften called - "teotiuakantsy." According to ancient legends Teotihuacan was the place where the gods returned after the Great Flood in order to re-create the world. Therefore, according to ancient Indians Teotihuacan has antediluvian origin. "The city of Gods" or "The place where they become the gods" so they said about the ancient pyramid complex.
This place has always considered as sacred and attracted people. It was here, according to legend, in the early times were born gods of the sun and the moon, and was launched the basic law of the world. Perhaps the part of the first inhabitants of the town came from the Olmec, in language of which Teotihuacan means "place where the gods touch the earth."
Unfortunately, today, the appearance of Teotiaukan largely is defined with representation of those who "restored" this ancient city, but the basic layout is saved.
The city is located around a central axis - the "Road of the Dead" and is divided into four huge quarters with public buildings, places of worship, markets, palaces and houses. The whole area of Teotihuacan was paved with gypsum slabs. City buildings had floors of mica and stone, walls of the houses were covered with stucco and painted with various scenes from myths and rituals or decorated with bas-reliefs. By 200 BC. irrigation system acted in the town and the water of lakes spread over the branched network of canals.
Between 1 and 250 years BC. center of Teotihuacan was built completely, including Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, and the "Road of Dead." Initially the height of the pyramid was about 71 m. Now it is 64.5 m. The perimeter of the base is about 900 m. Pyramid of the Sun is the third one in the list of the largest pyramids in the world.
Pyramid of the Moon has height of 42-46 m. It is about half that of the Pyramid of the Sun. Pyramid is located on the earth embankment so that the height is almost the same as the pyramid of the Sun. It is believed that it was built before the pyramid of the Sun.
"The Road of Dead". The width of the street is 40m. Length is 2.3 km. In the article of Jim Alison, we told about the fact that "The Road of Dead" is oriented to Mohenjo-Daro. And this is true, in what we shall prevail very soon.
Generally, we can say that the whole complex of Teotihuacan is a single, huge landmark in which each building has its own definite purpose.
As it is well known, "The Road of Dead" (RD) relatively which is oriented the whole complex has azimuth 15.4 * Orient hexagram along RD, i.e. turn on15.4 * clockwise and center it along the pyramid of the Sun. In this case we will choose the scale such, so that the circle in which hexagram is inscribed touched the boundary of Quetzalcoatl temple.
In this position, the vertical axis of hexagram, with the error of 0.06, will be direction to Mohenjo- Daro (MD), azimuth of which is equal to 45.46 *, in this case parallel to DM. "The Road of Dead" itself at such scale passes exactly halfway between two parallel lines of hexagram, and the side of the square in which it is inscribed is the side of Quetzalcoatl temple.
Then it turns out that the direction to Great Pyramid (GP) in Giza is away from the direction to Mohenjo-Daro on 30 *, with an error of 0.2 *, i.e. is another axis of hexagram, to which is perpendicular azimuth of Samaipata.
Line Teotihuacan - Samaipata, in its turn, practically coincides with the direction to another unique object - a megalithic park of Asuka in Japan. Megaliths are located on a fairly large area, several kilometers long, and it is possible that some of them will have exact values of azimuth. The distance from Teotihuacan to park of Asuka is 11680 km or 105.1 * along the arc of globe.
As we already know, Teotihuacan and GP divide the line connecting them in the golden section. See article "LOCATION OF ANCIENT STRUCTURES IN THE GOLDEN SECTION" Besides, GP, Teotihuacan and Samaipata give 5- and 10- degrees meridional division of the planet, in which GP meridian is zero meridian. See article "GEODESY OF MERIDIANS."
It is interesting that in the point of Samaipata azimuths of Teotihuacan and Mohenjo-Daro are located according to the angles of octagon.
