PYRAMIDS IN EL PITAL VERACRUZ...YES EXPLORE.
In the municipality of Pital, San Rafael, lies an unexplored archaeological site.
It is said to be the missing link between the Mexica and Totonac cultures, which flourished before the appearance of the Tajín pyramids. It is said that there are approximately 150 pyramids of all sizes. Veracruz has the following archaeological sites: Castillo de Teayo, Cempoala, Cuajilote, Cuyuxquihui, El Tajín, Las Higueras, Quiahuiztlán, San Lorenzo Tenochtitlan, Tres Zapotes, Vega de la Peña, and El Pital.
It covers a radius of 100 kilometers and, so far, experts from the INAH (National Institute of Archaeology) have explored it and know that it contains 150 pyramid bases, found under the undergrowth, banana, lemon, and orange trees.
An interesting fact about El Pital is that it was a pre-Hispanic city with a system of fields for intensive agriculture, comprised of an artificial river network surrounded by terraces, which were surrounded by saline waters and had access to artificial freshwater canals for daily consumption.
El Pital is also home to what was the first hospital for indigenous people in Mexico, built to receive indigenous people who had contracted diseases brought by the Spanish conquistadors.
