The Pyramid of the Sun is obviously an ancient pyramid created by native Mexicans ancestors- Aztecs. The Pyramid of the Sun is in Mesoamerica, which is now part of mexico. It is also one of the most famous pyramids there."The Mexican city of Teotihuacan and the Pyramid of the Moon were built along with the Pyramid of the Sun between 1 A.D. and 250 A.D. The pyramid was discovered in the early 1900's. In the early 1970's, a cave was discovered under the Pyramid of the Sun, leading down a long corridor to a room with artifacts. The artifacts suggest the room was used as a religious shrine before the pyramid was built."
It is said in mexican folklore, that the pyramids were built in honor and respect of the gods- both sun and moon. In order to honor the gods, priests were said to perform daily ceremonies at the pyramids. "The location of the pyramid and its design are thought represent the three levels of their cosmos: celestial, terrestrial and subterranean."
