Question

A rainstorm revealed a tunnel beneath this city that yielded a saucer shaped like a flying dog, greenstone crocodile teeth, and liquid mercury used to represent lakes. (10[2])Murals found in this city may denote important people with a three-tasseled headdress. The multiethnic merchant class of this city may have launched (10[1])a fire that destroyed its temples and Xalla (“SHAH-lah”) palace, beginning the city’s collapse around 550 CE alongside abrupt droughts. This city’s influence likely spread the sloped (10[1])talud-tablero (10[1])construction style (10[2])found at Monte (-5[1])Albán and (-5[1])Tikal. (10[1]-5[1])This city’s Nahuatl (-5[1])name (10[1]-5[2])translates (10[2]-5[1])roughly to “place where Gods were (10[1])born,” (10[2]-5[1])as the Aztecs (10[1])claimed descent from its builders. (10[2])For 10 points, name (-5[1])this city where the Avenue of the Dead (10[1]-5[1])links the (10[1])Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, (10[1]-5[3])an ancient (-5[1])city in the Valley of Mexico. ■END■ (10[10]0[8])
