What was the significance of the pyramid of the Sun and the pyramid of the Moon, in Teotihuacan civilization?

Pyramid of the Sun. The Aztecs were the ones who named them "Pyramid of the Sun" and "Pyramid of the Moon" when they arrived later, centuries after Teotihuacan was abandoned by their original builders. The names given to the pyramids by the original Teotihuacanos are unknown today.

Also, there is little evidence of its true significance for this people. Still, some believed that the Pyramid of the Sun venerated the Great Goddess deity and the Pyramid of the Moon was used to venerate Chalchiuhtlicue, the goddess of the water and the moon. According to "www.crystalinks.com": ---Quote--- It is thought that the Pyramid of the Sun venerated a deity within Teotihuacan society but the destruction of the temple on top of the pyramid, by both deliberate and natural forces prior to the archaeological study of the site, has so far prevented identification of the pyramid with any particular deity.

Some scholars have suggested that the deity of the pyramid was the Great Goddess, one of two major Teotihuacan deities and one of the few goddesses in ancient Mesoamerica. However, little evidence exists to support this theory. ---Quote--- According to "en.wikipedia. Org": ---Quote--- A platform atop the Pyramid of the Moon was used to conduct ceremonies in honor of Chalchiuhtlicue, the goddess of water and of the moon.

This platform and the sculpture found at the pyramid's bottom are thus dedicated to Chalchiuhtlicue. ---Quote--- The orientation of the Pyramid of the Sun may hold some anthropological significance. It is oriented to the horizon point of the setting sun on two days a year, August 12 and April 29.

The first date is significant because it would have marked the date of the beginning of the present era and the initial day of the Maya long count calendar. The geographical layout of Teotihuacan is a good example of the Mesoamerican tradition of planning cities, settlements and buildings as a representation of the Teotihuacano view of the Universe.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
