@PugJesus
Teotihuacan is not a Mayan city.
This image blends a wide geographic span of cultures.

The artist and source says it's a depiction of a Mayan city.

Teotihuacan and the Maya did interact, although the exact nature of those interactions are unclear as yet. They actually recently uncovered a Teotihuacan altar in Tikal.

Let's be generous and assume this cultural interaction is what the artist intended to allude to.
