In the Footsteps of the Ancients

view map

The dwellings represent a massive construction project, yet the people lived in them only about 75 to 100 years.
By AD 1300 they had migrated on to other areas to the south. This structure continues to hold many secrets
which archeologists will never be able to unravel. Although there are many theories about why they left
their homes, archeologists really don't know the exact reason why they moved.
