Although it is a subject of debate whether Teotihuacan was the center of a state empire, its influence throughout Mesoamerica is well documented; evidence of Teotihuacano presence can be seen at numerous sites in Veracruz and the Maya region.

Year 426: "Conquest" of Copán and Quiriguá[edit]
In 426, the Copán ruling dynasty was created with K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo' as the first king. The Dynasty went on to have sixteen rulers.[16] Copán is located in modern-day Honduras, as described by Copán Altar Q(???).[17] Soon thereafter, Yax K'uk' Mo' installed Tok Casper as king of Quiriguá, about 50 km north of Copán.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teotihuacan#Year_426:_"Conquest"_of_Copán_and_Quiriguá

Copan, Tikal, Palenque (home of Pakal)...these the three Mayan towns that look to have connections to Teotihuacan...how often I've miss typed Teotihuacan for Tiwanaku, the Inca town by Lake Titicaca...the clip goes on how the Mesoamerican towns were situated by lakes with reeds...which is...Lake Titicaca...they ate well...there was plenty of water fowl for protein...the coastal Moche ate really well...what may have beset them was poor sanitation brought on by crowded populace...but, I dunno...Brewers down to final strike...3-2...liner caught by Cozart...ball game is over...Angels win four in a row..."you can put a halo over this one!"...Angels drag out of the cellar, now occupied by Oakland...go figure!
