The aztecs established a powerful empire around years after teotihuacan, along with its temple of the feathered serpent, had been abandoned.

Teotihuacan was an ancient city in Mexico established around 400 B.C. by a still disputed Mexican civilization. By 750 AD the buildings and city had been abandoned by the inhabitants. This city was left abandoned and untouched until the 1400s when the Aztec Empire revealed its existence. The Aztecs named the city Teotihuacan and began using the buildings especially the temples for their empire.
