Hovenweep National Monument, Colorado, USA
Ruins of Ancestral Puebloan villages at Hovenweep National Monument, Colorado, USA. In the distance is Ute mountain which is sacred to the Ute Indians, representing a sleeping form of a Great Warrior God, who according to legend, fell asleep while recovering from wounds received in a great battle with the Evil Ones. This area has been settled by Native Americans from 6000 BC until the 14th century AD and currently houses the ruins of 6 Anasazi Puebloan villages from the 13th century. Picture by Manuel Cohen
