 ==Trivia==
-*Contrary to what the pamphlet says, the Pyramid of the Sun was not built by the ancient Aztecs, but instead was discovered by them, having been built by an even more ancient people. An in-game scientist actually acknowledges this, saying the top of the Pyramid "was already 500 years old when it was uncovered by the Aztecs".
 *Although the pamphlet says it was constructed in 100 BC, it is actually believed to have been constructed in approximately 200 AD.<ref>Department of the Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. “Teotihuacan: Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon.” In ''Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History''.
