The Anasazi, or ancestral Pueblo people, inhabited the Four Corners area of the United States (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah). They created incredible architectural structures (like the beautiful cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde) and petroglyphs, all of which suggest a rich cultural and artistic community.

The Anasazi.
The Anasazi people of Chaco Canyon constructed large, multi-story buildings made primarily of stone and adobe. These structures, known as great houses, featured intricate designs with numerous interconnected rooms, large plazas, and ceremonial kivas. The buildings often had a distinctive rectangular shape and were built to align with astronomical events, showcasing their advanced understanding of architecture and cosmology. Some of the most notable sites, like Pueblo Bonito, exemplify their skills in masonry and urban planning.
