Remains of a remote, hidden ancient ruins - a Sinagua Indian cliff dwelling - viewed from its easiest approach by level ground. The stone wall part way up the hill defines the outside perimeter of the dwelling, within which existed interior stone walls defining various living spaces. Exterior walls were built of loose volcanic rock stacked on top of existing volcanic rock and boulders. There is one main entrance through this front wall, with small adjacent holes in the rock placement through which arrows could be fired if enemies threatened. A secondary access and egress point is availabe to occupants higher up in the dwelling. The far side of the dwelling is a sheer cliff dropping down to a long steep hill down to a dry riverbed. Site selection was critical for the Sinagua, and perfectly executed here. This culture combined hunting and gathering with agriculture, but the latter was challenging in this arrid, wilderness terrain. The exact site location, which requires considerable effort to reach, is intentionally omitted. Its estimated age dates to 1300 AD - 1400 AD. Remote Sinagua Cliff Dwelling Site, Northern Arizona, 2013.

Wupatki National Monument, Arizona, USA - March 7, 2020: Between 1100AD and 1200AD native people inhabited the plains between the Painted Desert and the San Francisco Peaks of Arizona. In an area so dry it would seem impossible to live, they built pueblos, harvested rainwater, grew crops and raised families. Their way of life was the key to survival in this harsh landscape. These people survived here, farming one of the warmest and driest places on the Colorado Plateau. They developed the skills to farm the land and endure hardship in an area where many would not. Today the remnants of their villages dot the landscape. These people, led by a ranger are examining a dwelling on East Mesa in Wupatki National Monument. The monument, established in 1924 to preserve this rich heritage, is near Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
