Ancient City in San Luis Potosi State, Mexico.
Pyramids. Plazas. Temples. Palaces.
This city of the Huastecas culture (named for the historic Indian people of this area) dates back to 600 BC. The ancient Huastecas were likely contemporaries to the Olmec culture found farther to the south.
The Tamtoc ruins have only been open to the public since May 2006. Digs are still on-going. Findings of massive scultured stones have been publized.
Note: Sky watching planned at Huasteca Archaeological Sites throughout 2010, see comment
