Teotihuacan the City of the Gods

This course is about the ancient city of Teotihuacan. Teotihuacan is an enormous, mysterious, beautiful and enigmatic city of ancient Mexico. We will travel there together to explore and experience this unique site. There is no other place in the world that even comes close to this magnificent and imposing city, then or now. Relatively little is known about the people who lived here. Their origins and demise are unknown. We have no written records of the ancient Teotihuacanos. We do, however, have their amazing architecture and their art. I teach lecture courses and studios as I wish they would have been taught to me. Much of the graphic material in my lectures is taken or generated first hand directly by me on site. I teach to learn. I teach subjects as I wish they were taught to me. The Mission Statement. Education is a tool for the improvement of successive generations. I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. Confucius
