The Cliff Dwellings of Mesa Verde
Yet another representation of amazing human engineering prowess. Only this time it’s 1,400 years old! These Ancestral Pueblo folks built multi-story units into the side of cliffs that are over 7,000 feet above sea level, with nothing more than primitive tools. Proof that the human mind is capable of amazing things — especially in times of survival. That’s one more Unesco World Heritage notch on my belt.
