 ''seemed constructed by giants and thus spoke of them in amazement, as well as of the roads and other venues of the city. A yuhcatiliztli  reached its peak in Teotihuacan, it was an authentic Toltecáyotl, work of the scholars that ruled there, ." (Miguel Leon Portilla. 1980)''

The Classical period and the Toltec represent the greatest splendor era in ancient Mexico. The Toltec from Teotihuacan spread the Toltecáyotl knowledge to all Anahuac research centers. This is confirmed by the Teotihuacan influence in the archaeological remains of buildings, ceramics and frescoes of the classical in the cultural universe formed in the Anahuac. The Toltec expanded their wisdom through all the Cem Anahuac and provided civilization its greatest apogee. These more than a thousand years of splendor were not achieved through weapons, as there was a total peace. Nor was it the product of economic domination, because the use of cocoa as currency and the rise of commerce occurred with the Aztecs in the decadent period. It is better understood as a process of increased production of knowledge and its expansion to all corners of the known world.

"But rather is an indication that the root of all Mesoamerican religions [philosophies – Author’s note] is the same, and not that Teotihuacan imposed their gods on the gods of the other Nations. It is, however curious, for example, that the influence or the Teotihuacan conquest towards the end of Monte Alban II, appears within that culture a proliferation of previously unknown gods and that many of them are Teotihuacan gods. The same thing seems to happen in Guerrero and possibly in Veracruz.” [Ignacio Bernal. 1965.]  ____________________
