Did you know: Teotihuacan is one of the greatest Classical Mesoamerican cities, and was (by estimate) the 6th-largest city in the world at its height...

...and we have no idea who built it. ("Teotihuacan" is itself a Nahuatl word assigned to the city by the Aztecs, who took it over centuries after the original city fell; like the classical Greeks and Mycenae, the Aztecs assumed Teotihuacan must have been built by the gods.)
