Tula was built and occupied from approximately 750 to 1168 AD. At its height the population is estimated to have been over 30000. A city of the Toltec civilization, its monumental architecture includes pyramids, bas-relief decorated palaces, colonnaded meeting rooms, and ball courts.
Sites include massive decorative "Atlantean" figures.
One of the statues is a copy, as the original is in the Mexico City Archeological Museum.
The location is approximate.
Note: Conference on Archaeo-astronomy to be held at Mexico's Tula site. See comment for details.
