My wife and I went here a few years back and it is amazing. It held up this well, can you imagine what it must have been like in its full glory?

Great pictures! Ancestral Puebloans did amazing stuff. Items(parrots, cacao) from the Yucatan Peninsula have been found around Mesa Verde. Blows me away that a trade network was that large.

Check this 800+ year old mug out!

Great pictures! It's amazing what they were able to create so long ago with the tools that they had available at the time.
