"Any appreciation of ancient Meso-America's architectural splendour must begin with Teotihuacán, the City of the Gods. Its two gigantic pyramid temples, dating from about the time of Christ, are the largest and oldest in the Americas and were models for all the rest. There, too, stand the remains of the Pyramid of the powerful god Quetzalcoatl, the Plumed Serpent. Teotihuacán was destroyed by fire in the 7th century, but the worship of Quetzalcoatl was subsequently adopted by the Toltecs, who settled in central Mexico in the 10th century and established their capital at Tula. Their Aztec conquerors were, in turn, heirs to the cult of the Plumed Serpent."

— John Julius Norwich, ed. Great Architecture of the World. p34.

"The growth of the sacred complex in Teotihuacan was originally due to symmetrical elements being fitted together asymmetrically. By adding elements that are grafted on the avenue of the Dead, thus resembling a tree-trunk, this principle makes for constant urban growth."

[In the Pyramid of the temple of Quetzalcoatl, Teotihuacan], "The string walls and tiered panels are decorated with Plumed Serpent heads and masks of the god Tlaloc, symbol of rain. The shrine on top was built of perishable materials and has not survived."
