The Teotihuacan Archaeological Zone, located outside Mexico City, is renowned for its magnificent pre-Spanish murals, which date back to between 600 and 700 A.D. Restoring these murals was no easy task. Not only did restorers have to repair pigment lost from layer erosion and humidity-generated salinization, but they had to combat structural problems in the buildings themselves. They could hardly repair a mural while the ceiling was leaking and the floor eroding.
