1. Avenue of the Dead Marker
The marker is seriously weathered.
Es el eje principal de la ciudad de Teotihuacan y parte fundamental de su planeacion. Tiene una dirección sur-norte con una orientatcion de 15º 25’ hacia el este con respecto al norte astronómico. Al parecer, como toda la ciudad, está orientada al punto donde sale el sol en importantes fecha del año. Su límite norte se encuentra en la Plaza de la Luna y su extremo sur aún no ha sido explorado. Alcanza una longitud superior a los 4 kilómetros, aunque solo se pueden visitar 2 km.
Perpendicular a ella en el centro de la ciudad corre la Calzada este-oeste que divide a la ciudad en cuatro cuadrantes, dándole la cudad una perfecta simetría. A partir de ambas calzadas, el trazo urbano se realizó de manera que las calles y la orientación general de todos los edificios fueran paralelos y perpendiculares a las mismas.
Hacia ambos lados, existen edificios que corresponden a complejos de palacios y templos dedicados tanto a las actividades politico-administrativas y civico-religiosas, como a las áreas donde vivian los sacerdotes y otros individuos de las altas jerarquías sociales.

In the core area lying between the Pyramid of the Sun and the San Juan River, there is a group called the Avenue of the Dead Complex. It is comprised of pyramidal bases with temples atop them, courtyards, streets, stepped platforms and residential sections around central plazas. This walled-off complex measures 1,167 feet from east to west and 1,267 feet from north to south and is divided in three sections by transverse stairways overlooking the Avenue of the Dead. Forming part of these complexes are the groups known as the Superimposed Buildings, the West Plaza Complex and the Viking Complex.
