2 recorded places within the site, from their own records.
What this means
A place listed here names this site as its whole or its location in its own record; the build reads that from the place’s end, so the row is computed rather than stated by the site. It does not imply that the site as a whole was a place of worship, that its parts were in use at the same time, or that these are all the places it held.
Site history & evidence
What is documented here
Each kind of evidence on its own row, because they do not add up.
| Evidence | On record | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Site date | None recorded | The import holds no date for the site itself. |
| Location | Recorded to the site On the atlas | A coordinate for the place. It locates the site; it does not draw its extent. |
| Dated activity | None recorded | A pin is a place, not an event. What happened at Teotihuacan, and when, is a separate claim, and this import holds none: it carries site locations, not dated activity. |

What this means
Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.

History
Recorded events
What Teotihuacan’s own record names in its history, in the order of the dates on the statements.
What this means
Events Wikidata records in a subject’s history, and the day a festival is kept. Not a complete history, and the day a festival falls on is not when it began. Each date is the one on the statement itself; an event with none is named after the line. It does not imply that these are all the events in its history, or that Wikidata ranks the events by importance.
