    the cliff palace in mesa verde, colorado... and I really mean "in."this has been on my list for a very long time. every image that I had ever seen and every word that I read spoke mystery to me. about 1,400 years ago a group of people living in the Four Corners region chose Mesa Verde(the green table) for their home. for more than 700 years they and their descendants lived and flourished here... then, in the late A.D. 1200s, in the span of a generation or two, they left their homes and moved away. archeologists have called these people The Anasazi, from a Navajo word sometimes translated as “the ancient ones” or “ancient enemies.” They are now called Ancestral Puebloans, reflecting their modern descendants.this was built in their classic period. 1100-1300 A.D.
