Cuicuilco "The place of songs and dances"
This is the only circular pyramid in Mexico located in the south east of Mexico City
Of all the marvelous pyramids in Mexico, only one has been found which was built with a truly circular base. Why? Did the primitive Mexicans also know that circles had 360 degrees of arc or was this strictly a Celtic privilege?
The Code of the Ancients

The first habitants of this place founded it in 1200 B.C.

The Santa Cecilia pyramid was linked to the Tenayuca pyramid and afterwards it fell under the dominion of Tenochtitlan as another peripheric site of Aztec influence

Acatitlan means Place of Canes





In the place they have founded ceramic from Toltec Tollan Origin 800- 1150 AC, Aztec II (1200 a 1430 AC) and Aztec
III (1430 a 1521).
