在亡灵大道上游荡诺贝尔文学奖获得者、墨西哥著名作家奥克塔维奥·帕斯曾说：“对于纽约、巴黎或是伦敦人来说，‘死亡’是他们永远不会提起的，因为这个词会灼伤他们的嘴唇。

然而墨西哥人却老把‘死亡’挂在嘴边，他们调侃死亡、与死亡同寝、庆祝死亡。

死亡是墨西哥人最钟爱的玩具之一，是墨西哥人永恒的爱。

”这种特殊的生死观，也成为墨西哥特有的文化现象。

亡灵大道，是墨西哥印第安文明的重要遗址——特奥蒂瓦坎城内一条贯穿南北的大道，幻想着自己是一个“幽灵”，在亡灵大道上游荡，是一件有趣又刺激的事情，随时随地，都可能在这千年古城的角落中撞见墨西哥古代文明全盛时期的壮丽与辉煌。

● 撰文 吴涛 ● 图片 国际古道网 ● 编辑 张琳of the Wandering on Avenue Dead印第安古文明留下的谜团特奥蒂瓦坎古城（Teotihuacan，在印第安语中意为“众神之城”）距离墨西哥城约50公里，不少人误以为它是玛雅文明的所在地，其实它是和玛雅文明同期存在过的特奥蒂瓦坎古文明（公元前200年至公元700年）最重要的遗存。

1987年，特奥蒂瓦坎古城被列入《世界文化遗产名录》。

这座几何排列的建筑群遗址规模庞大，其中，外形独特的“太阳金字塔”和“月亮金字塔”，在墨西哥的地位如同中国的长城一样崇高，也如埃及的胡夫金字塔一般神秘，令人着迷。

特奥蒂瓦坎古城始建于公元1世纪末，公元5世纪达到全盛，但是于公元7世纪上半叶突然消亡，其最高峰时期曾拥有12—13万人口。

由于没有文字，人们对这座城市的历史知之甚少，它的消亡也令人不解。

几百年后， 阿兹特克人发现了这片废墟，给它取名特奥蒂瓦坎。

后来西班牙征服者来到这里，想当然地认为古城内南北向中轴线上的金字塔也是陵墓，于是把这条中轴线称为“亡灵大道”（Avenue of the Dead），也有一种说法认为这条大道是由阿兹特克人命名的。

沿着亡灵大道分布的遗址，隐藏着诸多秘密。

近代针对特奥蒂瓦坎古城的考古工作始于1884年，陆续挖掘出来的，除了珍贵文物，还有很多可怕的尸骸，有些是身首异处的外族武士和权贵，一些人的牙齿上镶着黄铁矿和绿岩；有些人双手被反绑，显然是遭到活埋；此外还有许多动物的遗骸，包括美洲狮、狼等肉食性哺乳动物，老鹰、隼、猫头鹰等猛禽，以及响尾蛇等致命的爬行动物。
