Monte Alban

In Oaxaca, Mexico, up on the mountains there is an ancient city, Monte Alban. Monte Alban is one of the first cities ever. It was founded in about 500 years before Christ was born. It was home to citizens also known as "cloud people." for up until 750 a.d they dominated the valleys and cities around them. A man named Alfanso Caso found this city in 1934 as were 500 pieces of gold and jade (some of the citizens were gold miners). Tourists can access and look through the city. Researchers still don't know a lot about it but they are working on it.
