1030

At the Mesoamerican capital north of the Valley of Mexico, builders completed colonnaded halls and raised the famous Atlantean warrior columns atop Pyramid B, fifteen-foot basalt figures carrying atlatls and incense bags. Tula's influence radiated across trade networks from the Gulf coast to the Yucatan, lending prestige to every dynasty that would later claim Toltec ancestry.
