The Teotihuacan Fire Ceremony

The gods gather in Teotihuacan to sacrifice themselves in order to create the world.

At the beginning of time when all was in darkness, the gods gathered in Teotihuacan. Around a great fire they made sacrifices of themselves and in making these sacrifices they created a new cosmic era. To mark this moment of creation, Teotihuacanos conduct the New Fire Ceremony at the base of the Sun Pyramid.
