Mexico - The Remains Of The Infamous Traditional Aztec Empire
The indigenous influence in Mexico and the countries and areas surrounding it is instrumental to its history, much like here in the US. There are still mighty ancient cities standing, people are still speaking the ancient languages, and much ancient art is still on display around Mexico. The culture in modern Mexico is still so saturated with that of ancient indigenous people, and they are very proud of their heritage and for good reason. The ancient sites rival those of anywhere else in the world. If you ever make your way into Mexico or Central America, definitely take the time to stop and see these sites. Before you do, you will have to get an urgent passport or US passport card first.
Passport cards are a new alternative for travelers, and they have proved to be a great option for those looking to get out of the country for a little. First of all, they are much cheaper, coming in at only $45. They do have some restrictions, however. For example, they can only be used to travel to Mexico, Canada, Bermuda, or the Caribbean. They can also only be used for boat or vehicle travel; you need a regular passport if you plan on traveling by plane. If you are thinking a passport card is right for you, you can apply for an online United States passport. This makes the entire process easier and can be done from your computer.
You may encounter both Aztec and Mayan ruins in Mexico, as the borders of the Mexico of today encompass the area of what was both the Mayan and Aztec Empires. Mexico City is the capital of Mexico, and it also happens to be the site of the capital city of what was once the mighty Aztec empire: Tenochtitlan. In the middle of the city, archaeologists have recently excavated the Templo Mayor, arguably the most iconic and important building in the Aztec Empire. New artifact are getting dug up all the time, and this makes it a great place to stop during your stay in Mexico.
Teotihuacan is a very important and very famous Aztec ruin. The Aztecs believed that this was the place where the universe was created by the gods, and it contains some of the largest monuments in the world. The famous Pyramid of the Sun, the third largest pyramid in the world, is located here. The city itself is bigger than Rome. The main thoroughfare is called the Avenue of the Dead, and the Pyramid of the Moon sits at one end, while the Citadel is at the other. Definitely be sure to also see the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, which features feathered serpents in the stone.
Cholula is just a little ways outside of Mexico City. This particular city and the people who lived there were instrumental in Aztec history, making a very important appearance when a massacre orchestrated by Cortes took place here on his way with the conquistadors to Tenochtitlan.
There is no shortage of indigenous history to explore during your trip to Mexico. Just be sure to have your urgent US passport with you. Make your life easier and get your online new passport. Online passport sites make this quick and easy.
