[UNVERIFIED CONTENT] View of the Avenue of the Dead and the Pyramid of the Sun, from the Pyramid of the Moon in Teotihuacan, Mexico. Teotihuacan was a pre-Columbian Mesoamerican city located in the Basin of Mexico, 30 miles northeast of modern day Mexico City, which is today known as the site of many of the most architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids built in the pre-Columbian Americas. Apart from the pyramids, Teotihuacan is also anthropologically significant for its complex, multi-family residential compounds, the Avenue of the Dead, and the small portion of its vibrant murals that have been exceptionally well-preserved. Additionally, Teotihuacan produced a thin orange pottery style that spread through Mesoamerica. The city is thought to have been established around 100BC and continued to be built until about 250AD. The city may have lasted until sometime between the 7th and 8th centuries AD. At its zenith, perhaps in the first half of the 1st millennium AD, Teotihuacan was the largest city in the pre-Columbian Americas, with a population of perhaps 125,000 or more, placing it among the largest cities of the world in this period. Teotihuacan began as a new religious center in the Mexican Highland around the first century AD. This city came to be the largest and most populated center in the New World. Teotihuacan was even home to multi-floor apartment compounds built to accommodate this large population. Although it is a subject of debate whether Teotihuacan was the center of a state empire, its influence throughout Mesoamerica is well documented; evidence of Teotihuacano presence can be seen at numerous sites in Veracruz and the Maya region. The Aztecs may have been influenced by this city. The ethnicity of the inhabitants of Teotihuacan is also a subject of debate. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. It is the most visited archaeological site in Mexico.

Para evitar la propagación del COVID-19 entre visitantes, en la Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacán, el Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia cerrará el acceso por lo que no se permitirá al público el tradicional ascenso a la cúspide de la pirámide del Sol y de la Luna, durante los días 21 y 22 de marzo.

El sitio maya de Chichén Itzá permanecerá cerrado al público en el Equinoccio de primavera, de acuerdo con lo dispuso el gobernador de Yucatán, Mauricio Vila Dosal.

A través de un comunicado, la Secretaría de Cultura, informó también que se reprogramarán todos los eventos y actividades en zonas arqueológicas y museos agendadas del 23 de marzo al 19 de abril.

Las tres escuelas adscritas al INAH se apegarán al acuerdo emitido por la SEP, mediante el cual se suspenden las clases del 23 de marzo al 17 de abril de 2020 y se restructurará el calendario escolar.
