Chaco Canyon in what is now New Mexico. Country of the 1st People.

Some of the 1st Peoples of this country settled here a few thousand years ago. The building that went on that is recognized today started around 850 and continued for a few hundred years to approximately 1150. It was then left, for reasons not totally understood though conjectured that the extreme draught that affected the northern and southern continent contributed, but never abandoned. It has been vandalized since the 1800's and before but to a degree is protected today.

A number of the petroglyphs have been vandalized or altered, both during the current period, 1800's and 1900's and by indigenous people that came after the people that created the original petroglyphs.
