| Unlike elsewhere in Mesoamerica, where people lived in cities surrounded by villages and hamlets, in the Teotihuacan area almost the entire population lived in the city. All cities in Mesoamerica were aligned astronomically, and Teotihuacan was planned so that its "north" was 15.25 degrees east of true north. | ||
