Papel de Parede de Anasazi Community

The silent stone walls of Mesa Verde's ancient cliff dwellings tell the story of a civilization struggling to survive in a harsh environment. Once a prosperous and highly advanced Ancestral Puebloan community, it was mysteriously abandoned sometime before the close of the 13th century. Mesa Verde National Park is a U.S. National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Montezuma County, Colorado. The park occupies 81.4 square miles and features numerous ruins of homes and villages built by the ancient Pueblo people. It is best known for several spectacular cliff dwellings. The Spanish term Mesa Verde translates into English as "green table".
