Abstract

Few years ago I visited Teotihuacan, near Mexico City, where two large pyramids (of the Sun and of the Moon) were built by ancient people of that region. In the vicinity of those pyramids a Museum of Teotihuacan Culture was established. Outside area is covered with vegetations, including agave. This is a plant with thick lives and has about 2 m of height. The products obtaining from agave include: food, especially sugar, fibre, medicines, soap, beverages, including alcoholic bevarages like tequila and bacanora. A tip of agave leaf ends with very sharp skewer. When very thin part of a leaf is separated from the rest of a leaf there is a possibility of using it as a paper.
