Chaco Cultural National Historic Park
~ A World Heritage Site
- is famous for ancient Anasazi Pueblos, the Sun Dagger on Fajada Butte, and an interpretation of Solar and Lunar influences on building orientations.
We present some of the important pueblos. We enjoy shootin' moonrise; Chaco provides superb shots at various locales.
The Solstice Project has carefully measured building walls, windows, and other features to provide an interpretation suggesting the equinox, solstices, and lunar standstills were interpreted by the Anasazi as markers for orientating their ancient, complex dwellings.
We will talk about Solar and Lunar influences on orientations of pueblo design.
