However, the findings in the pyramid are difficult to interpret. “These findings are like sentences,” says archeologist Leonardo Lopez Lujan, “but we don’t have all the words… so they’re hard to read.” Despite these problems, several archeologists have concluded this: Teotihuacan was not a society governed by peaceful rulers.

Martin knew he could not continue running forever. 5He urged himself on, trying to find a hiding place to escape being caught. Just then, Martin spotted a large sturdy tree in front of him. Not hesitating（猶豫） further, he used whatever strength he had left to pull himself up. He settled himself on a branch on the middle of the tree and waited, willing his heavy breath to be as inaudible as possible. A few moments later, he heard the sound of approaching footsteps. Martin held his breath and closed his eyes, praying that they would move on. “Where could that boy have gone? We can’t let him escape! We will get punished!” said one of the figures. “He can’t run all night. Come on, let’s go this way and see,” urged another as the group ran ahead. Martin felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.
