The ancient pyramid of the Taras is located in the city of Ecatepec, in the State of Mexico. It was erected during the pre-Hispanic era, around the year 700. It was built by the Taras, an ancient tribe of Aztecs. The pyramid is 48 meters high, with a base of 105 meters.

The pyramid of the Taras was occupied by the Aztecs around the year 1000. In 1018, Hernan Cortes passed by Ecatepec on his way back from conquering the Aztecs. In 1521, a large portion of the pyramid collapsed.

In the 17th century, the Zapotec people revolted against the Spanish Empire. After the Zapotec Kingdom fell, Ecatepec became part of the Spanish empire.

In the early 19th century, Emperor Maximilian's troops billeted in Ecatepec left their mark on the city by hacking the legs off a wooden statue of the goddess of fertility. The statue later became known as "El Cuerno de Maximiliano" (The Blade of Maximilian). For many years it was displayed in the city, before ending up in the Museum of National History in Mexico City.

In the late 19th century, the state of Mexico was largely farmland. In an attempt to increase the country's tax revenue, the government decided to let a few large landowners exploit the land. One such owner was Lucas Alamán. Lucas realized that the state's peasants needed to have quick, cheap and reliable ways of traveling to the city. He also knew that the only practical way of doing this was by rail.

Lucas chose a route through the Ecatepec area. He built a station on the edge of town, enabling city laborers to commute to work there. With the laborers able to afford to buy houses in the area, it became a town. This was the beginning of Ecatepec.

The name "Ecatepec" comes from Nahuatl and means "place where prayers are made to the god Ecatepuh".

Some of the main attractions in the city include the pyramid of the Taras, which is a major archeological site, the Museum of National History, the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Natural History Museum.

The pyramid of the Taras is a large Aztec pyramid situated on a hill in the center of the city. It was occupied by the Aztecs around 1367. In 1521, a major flood destroyed the Aztec Empire, one of its most ferocious results being the death of Emperor Moctezuma II, whose legend is commemorated in Mexico City's main square, Chapultepec.
In the mid-19th century, a flood destroyed the city of Puebla, Mexico. The flood inspired a flood myth later incorporated into the popular Mexican legend of El Monstruo del Grifo. In 1954, the Grifo (Spanish for "griffin", a mythological creature with an animal's head and wings) appeared in the village of Yautepec. It killed a number of people and livestock before being killed. Its body was taken to Mexico City, where it began to bleed P Species blood. This blood is highly valued by some humans. The search for the beast's body brought many people to Yautepec, and soon after the first sightings of the Grifo. In the late 1980s, a new wave of searches for the Grifo led to sightings in several other parts of Mexico, including more villages in Ecatepec, where the pyramid now stands.

The original pyramid building was built in the Aztec Empire style. This style is known as "Cuauhxicalli" (Named after the Aztec word for "hired architect" or "hired artist" of the cuauhtemoc (Named after the Aztec word for "axis" or "column" (Named after the Nahuatl word for "water" (The word ecatepec itself means "place of the black earth", from the Nahuatl "ek" ("containing") and "tepec" ("well" or "spring" (The word cuauhxicalli is a direct loan translation of the Spanish word "cuartel, cuartel", or "military barrack" in English.
