The Million map needs to be updated and I believe the map would be larger. Another thing, Teotihuacan was the largest city in the world think about it. Supposedly, by historical books such as: 1491, Life of the Aztecs and so on the city of Tenochtitlan covered 6 square miles and had 350,000 inhabitants. Now, Tenochtitlan was inspired by the Toltecs and the Teotihuacan culture on city building by grid planning. So, how in the heck is Teotihuacan covering over 20 square miles only inhabited by 200,000. Shouldn't Teotihuacan be somewhere between 700,000-800,000? Lastly, recent finds have pushed the mapping of Teotihuacan even further. I believe it was the largest city in the world for many many centuries.

The map gives the impression that the city is full of open space, which is not accurate.<BR/><BR/>This map may be "good" from the point of view of graphics, but it is not good from the point of view of showing what Teotihuacan may have looked like.Michael E.
