The Toltec people were an amalgam of people from southern Latin America that came together as one to form the Teotihuacan civilization.
This “empire” grew to include the Pacific Coastal Chiapas and Guatemala, the Yucatan Peninsula, and much of Northern and Western Mexico before collapsing most likely in the 12th century AD. However, their origins have never been fully understood.
