And what's almost as amazing as these structures themselves, is the ancient's ability to organize and communicate with a massive labor force, both skilled and unskilled alike, in order to even attempt projects on such a colossal scale. And in some cases, like at Teotihuacan, near Mexico City, it's believed the builders didn't even have a written language.
