Teotihuacan is an ancient Mesoamerican city located in a sub-valley of the Valley of Mexico. Apart from the pyramids, Teotihuacan is also anthropologically significant for its complex, multi-family residential avenue of the dead; and the small portion of its vibrant murals that have been exceptionally well-preserved.Naming citation (MPC batch dated 2018-05-29), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
