Description
Chaco Canyon was an important Anasazi (ancient Native American) cultural center from about 900 through 1130 AD. About 30 ancient masonry buildings, containing hundreds of rooms each, attest to Chaco's importance. Some structures are thought to serve as astronomical observatories or calendars. Large well-constructed roadways thought to be built for pilgrims, subjects, or traders, lead from sites 50 miles away to the center of Chaco Canyon. In a very real sense, all roads lead to Chaco.
This is an amazing, beautiful and serene place. Located in New Mexico, these ancient ruins inspire a sense of oneness with the peoples of long ago.
A photographers dream. If you ever get a chance to go there...oooh my! please go.
