notes:
It is not known who built the pyramids of Teotihuacán, but they were at the center of learning and culture for over one thousand years before they were abandoned abruptly around 700 AD. William Bullock (1775-1840) was a jeweler and goldsmith from Sheffield, England, who founded a museum in London to display his collection of objects. Bullock traveled to Mexico City in 1823; in 1824 he held an exhibit of ancient Mexican artifacts he had acquired. Plates based on author's drawings. The engraver may be John Clark, an English engraver active from 1775 to 1825. Image placed horizontally on page.
