Overview[]
Teotihuacan[]
Teotihuacan is the name given by the Nahuatl-speaking Aztecs to the city and civilization that dominated the Mexican Highlands at its height. Divided into four periods, Teotihuacan is known today as the site of many of the most architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids built in the pre-Columbian Americas, namely the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. Apart from the pyramids, Teotihuacan is also anthropologically significant for its complex, multi-family residential compounds, the Avenue of the Dead, and its vibrant, well-preserved murals. Additionally, Teotihuacan exported fine obsidian tools found throughout Mesoamerica.
Spearthrower Owl[]
Spearthrower Owl, was a Mesoamerican person from the Early Classic period, who is identified in Maya inscriptions and iconography. While very little is known about him, most archeological evidence suggests that Spearthrower Owl was a ruler of Teotihuacan at the start of the height of its influence across Mesoamerica in the 4th and 5th century, and that he was responsible for an intense period of Teotihuacan presence in the Maya area, including the conquest of Tikal in 378 CE.

With the Avenue of the Dead, and the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, and Quetzalpapálot, you and the people of Teotihuacan built one of the largest cities in the world. But today, the world has yet to unlock many of the secrets of the great city...
Oh triumphant Spearthrower Owl, the time has come to lead Teotihuacan to its rightful place of glory. You must harvest your unique culture, your unique city, to build an empire that the world will never dare to forget again. Can you show the world the might and power of your civilization, and have all tremble before it? Will you build a civilization that can stand the test of time?
