Views of the Pyramid of the Sun
The name Pyramid of the Sun comes from the Aztecs, who visited the city of Teotihuacan centuries after it was abandoned; the name given to the pyramid by the Teotihuacanos is unknown.
The Mexicas gave the Pyramid of the Sun its name because they believed it was built to honor the sun. That leads to it sometimes being referred to as the Aztec Pyramid of the Sun. It is believed to have been built around 200 C.E., and its original purpose remains unknown.
