Montezuma Castle



Another dip into the archives...

According to Wikipedia, "Montezuma Castle National Monument protects a set of well-preserved dwellings located in Camp Verde, Arizona, which were built and used by the Sinagua people, a pre-Columbian culture closely related to the Hohokam and other indigenous peoples of the southwestern United States, between approximately 1100 and 1425 AD. The main structure comprises five stories and about 20 rooms and was built over the course of three centuries."

    What a wonderful archeological site, perfect for your photos. Doesn't matter when you took them, they are still fine.

    We visited the very similar Mesa Verde National Park in SE Colorado. It was amazing to see the cliff dwellings carved into the walls of a deep gorge. It must have made the ancient ones feel safe to live so protected that way.

    I had no idea America had anything like that. I guess it was technically pre-America. Ha.

    I have seen the Montezuma castle in 1971 I was very impressed ! Years later I found similar "buildings" in Turkey only the rocks were white ! Strange.

    Three centuries is a long time so the inhabitants must have been fairly successful. If only there was more information. History is a fascinating subject for study don't you think?
