![]() įERNANDO: Archaeology students? Very cool - you already have some knowledge then. It's very nice to meet you Fernando, and I'm sure my archaeological student friends have lots of questions to ask. I think it was this chap right here.įERNANDO: Fernando, at your service! I am your tour guide for today! As I was saying, many of the items discovered in the city were made out of obsidian - it is a type of glass that comes from volcanoes, and the ancient people of Teotihuacan used it for making all kinds of things. PROFESSOR: Something disrupted the signal. GEETA: Yes! I've read about this as well, they were made out of a special kind of rock. And look, Geeta - check out the masks and bowls that these craftsmen are making. GEETA: Have you noticed that food stall? What are those vegetables? GEETA: Have you seen the birds for sale over there? I've not seen any like them before! PROFESSOR: Without getting too technical Geeta, Virtually Anywhere looks at all the information it can find and then makes a best guess as to how it would have looked at the time. GEETA: Yes, how is it possible Professor? Considering that no one actually knows for certain who originally built and lived in Teotihuacan. PAUL: Wow! How is this possible Professor? Is that the actual market? It looks so real. PROFESSOR: Well perhaps I can help! I can program Virtually Anywhere to show us what it would have been like back then. ![]() We can only imagine what it would have looked and sounded like in the past. These days it's all very peaceful and quiet - just a handful of tourists wandering around. It was the centre of life in Teotihuacan, and there would probably have been a huge market all around, full of people making and selling all sorts of things. This is The Avenue of the Dead it's a large street that runs right through the middle of the city. PROFESSOR: You two - over here! Come and look at this! I wouldn't say panicking - I was just excited! Anyway, we're all here and we're all fine, so welcome to the ancient city of Teotihuacan! Follow me! GEETA: Well, when we were trapped in that tomb, you sounded like you were panicking too! Look, to answer your question: Virtually Anywhere will simply try its best to make any situation feel exactly like it would in real life. PROFESSOR: Paul, Paul, Paul! First things first - get up off the floor. PAUL: Fine? Fine! If this is just a computer program, then how come the mercury made us feel so ill? What's going on Professor? PROFESSOR: Is everyone OK? Breathing? Good! Everyone's breathing! Well, that was very interesting indeed! Having narrowly escaped the Emperor's tomb in China, they now find themselves at Teotihuacan in Mexico. ![]() NARRATOR: Geeta and Paul are final year archaeology students who, with the help of a mysterious character called the Professor, have used a machine called Virtually Anywhere to virtually transport themselves around the world. ![]()
