Chaco Canyon National Historical Park - New Mexico USA
When I visited Chaco Canyon my main intention was to visit the Pueblo Bonito Great House. This is the largest and best known Great House in Chaco Culture National Historical Park, northern New Mexico, It was was built by ancestral Pueblo people and occupied between AD 828 and 1126.
The site is located 4 1/2 miles from the visitor center on the 9-mile Canyon Loop Drive.
Pueblo Bonito is the most thoroughly investigated and celebrated cultural site in Chaco Canyon. Planned and constructed in stages between AD 850 to AD 1150 by ancestral Puebloan peoples, this was the center of the Chacoan world. That world eventually covered a vast area of the present-day Southwest, including the San Juan Basin of New Mexico, and portions of Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. For over 300 years, Chacoan Culture united many diverse peoples within its sphere of influence.
I used that YouTube Anti-shake feature on this video. It gives it almost a surreal effect. You might notice that. Let me know your opinion of that YouTube feature.

Chaco Culture National Historical Park - Nageezi, New Mexico
Chaco Culture National Historical Park is both a unit of the National Park Service and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For 250 years starting around 900AD, Chaco Canyon, in northwestern New Mexico, was a major center for the Ancestral Puebloans.
Several great houses and other complexes were built, many of which were aligned with solar and lunar patterns. These were quite large, remaining the largest buildings in North America until the 1800s. Today the park is home to the largest concentration of ancient pueblo ruins in the United States.

Many Chacoan buildings may have been aligned to capture the solar and lunar cycles,[5] requiring generations of astronomical observations and centuries of skillfully coordinated construction.[6] Climate change is thought to have led to the emigration of Chacoans and the eventual abandonment of the canyon, beginning with a fifty-year drought commencing in 1130.[7]

Composing a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the arid and sparsely populated Four Corners region, the Chacoan cultural sites are fragile; fears of erosion caused by tourists have led to the closure of Fajada Butte to the public. The sites are considered sacred ancestral homelands by the Hopi and Pueblo people, who maintain oral accounts of their historical migration from Chaco and their spiritual relationship to the land.[8][9] Though park preservation efforts can conflict with native religious beliefs, tribal representatives work closely with the National Park Service to share their knowledge and respect the heritage of the Chacoan culture.[8]

New Mexico Travel: Chaco Culture National Historical Park--A Great New Mexico Travel Idea!
New Mexico Travel Mill presents this video of highlights from Chaco Culture National Historical Park, located in Chaco Canyon in northwestern New Mexico in the United States. The park is located in the Four Corners region--so called because it is the area where the borders of the states of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado meet.
Chaco Canyon was home to ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi) people from about 850 A.D. -1250 A.D. and remains a place of spiritual and cultural significance to the Native Americans of the southwestern U.S. today. The park includes six major cultural sites: Una Vida, Hungo Pavi, Pueblo Bonito, Chetro Ketl, Pueblo del Arroyo, and Casa Rinconada.
The video includes an animated, aerial view of Una Vida, Hungo Pavi, Chetro Ketl, and Pueblo Bonito (the center of the Chacoan world). This perspective allows you do have an overview of Chaco Canyon and see how the sites are situated with respect to each other and the surrounding land.
You will also see video of many of the sites of the park: the ruins of several Great Houses--large complexes of up to 700 rooms; kivas--ceremonial areas; plazas; and petroglyphs (rock carvings) on the Petroglyph Trail. Some of the sites have been excavated and others have not. You will see ancient stairways, windows, rooms, plazas, and vast multi-story structures.
If you are looking for New Mexico travel ideas, consider visiting the Chaco Culture National Historic Park. Explore the canyon by car, hike by foot, or ride your bicycle with guided or self-guided tours. Your vacation is sure to be educational and fun!

I took a road trip around New Mexico in May 2013 and Chaco NHP was certainly the highlight. Visited Chaco Canyon on May 11-12, 2013. What an amazing place to visit. This video contains five shorter videos spliced together. They are of Pueblo Bonito, Chetro Ketl, Penasco Blanco, and the backcountry along the Penasco Blanco Trail. I hiked over 20 miles in two days. Worth every step.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

NM True TV - Chaco Canyon & Aztec Ruins
The Ancestral Puebloan people created villages and mystery in the Southwest. And nowhere has a higher concentration of those villages than New Mexico. Chaco Culture National Historical Park, commonly known as Chaco Canyon, is the best-preserved and largest site that offers insight into the mystery. And a bit farther north Aztec Ruins National Monument is yet another key Ancestral Puebloan village. Why did they build it all, why did they leave so soon, and where did they go? There are theories and research, but Michael and the NM True TV Crew were happy to let the mysteries remain, and let the beauty surround them.

Chaco Canyon - In Search of White House
This project will eventually be a long form documentary about Chaco Canyon National Historical Park located in New Mexico. These test sequences highlight the Chaco Great Houses of Wijiji and Hungo Pavi with some interior shots of Pueblo Bonito. Archaeologist Stephen Lekson briefly discusses the implications of Chaco Canyon as the location of White House, an extremely important and powerful place in the oral histories of the Pueblo People. This is a work in progress filmed and edited by David Herzberg.
Chaco Culture National Historical Park
This is the site of an important cultural center of the ancestral Pueblo peoples.
From AD 850 to 1250, Chaco was a hub of ceremony, trade, and administration for the prehistoric Four Corners area--unlike anything before or since. Chaco is remarkable for its multi-storied public buildings, ceremonial buildings, and distinctive architecture. These structures required considerable planning, designing, organizing of labor, and engineering to construct. The Chacoan people combined many elements: pre-planned architectural designs, astronomical alignments, geometry, landscaping, and engineering to create an ancient urban center of spectacular public architecture--one that still awes and inspires us a thousand years later.

Chaco Canyon - Aurora Borealis - Pueblo Bonito
One of the most unique shots to EVER come out of Chaco Canyon. The Fiske Planetarium and xRES studio caught an Aurora Borealis over Pueblo Bonito's Grand Kiva.
This shot, although beautiful is now etched forever as one of the most unique, and fortunate events to ever be recorded. The odds of duplicating this shot are incomprehensible.

The Center of Chacoan Culture
For all the wild beauty of Chaco Canyon's high-desert landscape, its long winters, short growing seasons, and marginal rainfall create an unlikely place for a major center of ancestral Puebloan culture to take root and flourish. Yet this valley was the center of a thriving culture a thousand years ago. The monumental scale of its architecture, the complexity of its community life, the high level of its community social organization, and its far-reaching commerce created a cultural vision unlike any other seen before or since.
The cultural flowering of the Chacoan people began in the mid 800s and lasted more than 300 years. We can see it clearly in the grand scale of the architecture. Using masonry techniques unique for their time, they constructed massive stone buildings (Great Houses) of multiple stories containing hundreds of rooms much larger than any they had previously built. The buildings were planned from the start, in contrast to the usual practiced of adding rooms to existing structures as needed. Constructions on some of these buildings spanned decades and even centuries. Although each is unique, all great houses share architectural features that make them recognizable as Chacoan.
During the middle and late 800s, the great houses of Pueblo Bonito, Una Vida, and Peñasco Blanco were constructed, followed by Hungo Pavi, Chetro Ketl, Pueblo Alto, and others. These structures were often oriented to solar, lunar, and cardinal directions. Lines of sight between the great houses allowed communication. Sophisticated astronomical markers, communication features, water control devices, and formal earthen mounds surrounded them. The buildings were placed within a landscape surrounded by sacred mountains, mesas, and shrines that still have deep spiritual meaning for their descendants.
By 1050, Chaco had become the ceremonial, administrative, and economic center of the San Juan Basin. Its sphere of influence was extensive. Dozens of great houses in Chaco Canyon were connected by roads to more than 150 great houses throughout the region. It is thought that the great houses were not traditional farming villages occupied by large populations. They may instead have been impressive examples of public architecture that were used periodically during times of ceremony, commerce, and trading when temporary populations came to the canyon for these events.
What was at the heart of this great social experiment? Pueblo descendants say that Chaco was a special gathering place where many peoples and clans converged to share their ceremonies, traditions, and knowledge. Chaco is central to the origins of several Navajo clans and ceremonies. Chaco is also an enduring enigma for researchers. Was Chaco the hub of a turquoise-trading network established to acquire macaws, copper bells, shells, and other commodities from distant lands? Did Chaco distribute food and resources to growing populations when the climate failed them? Was Chaco the center place, binding a region together by a shared vision? We may never fully understand Chaco.
In the 1100s and 1200s, change came to Chaco as new construction slowed and Chaco's role as a regional center shifted. Chaco's influence continued at Aztec, Mesa Verde, the Chuska Mountains, and other centers to the north, south, and west. In time, the people shifted away from Chacoan ways, migrated to new areas, reorganized their world, and eventually interacted with foreign cultures. Their descendants are the modern Southwest Indians. Many Southwest Indian people look upon Chaco as an important stop along their clans' sacred migration paths-a spiritual place to be honored and respected.
