Archaeologists believe that, but the builder Cuicuilco settled in the area around 1400 BC.

It was once a strong agricultural and settlement area for centuries, until a volcanic eruption killed many inhabitants and destroyed much of the area.

Those who survived the eruption fled across Mexico in search of new settlements. Many believe that the impressive pyramids in the great city of Teotihuacan were built by the descendants of people who fled Cuiluilco.

Archaeologists have unearthed several important artifacts from Cuicuilco, including a rough-hewn stone statue in the shape of the god of fire. It is not surprising that a group of people living under the volcano worshiped this god.

Besides their attachment to the god of fire, nothing is known about the people of Cuicuilco other than the circular pyramid and some artifacts left over from the volcanic eruption.
