      @@AncientArchitects More than a shred - today's Hopi still use Kivas in the same way their ancestors did. Unfortunately thanks to poor behavior and disrespect from tourists, the ceremonies are now closed to the public and they don't share the sacred parts of their history or culture. I do know the sipapu symbolizes the portal through which their ancient ancestors first emerged to enter the present world. They also know what the ancient petroglyphs mean, but again don't share in most cases.

      @@escapedcops08 "Kiva" is used as a catch all for semi subterranean circular structures in the region. Many of the smaller ones contain mostly domestic refuse. It would make sense as the people who built these lived in similar pit structures before they began building the above ground room blocks. It is the larger kivas, or great kivas, that seem to show a more ritual function. But you are right, we don't know what was going on, and it probably isn't cut and dried either.

    There are obvious signs of water being here at one point...
    Let me start by saying I'm no geologist or scientist, but I've visited Mesa Verde several times in recent years, and in my honest opinion, I believe everything about this location points to the notion that the canyons were once filled with water and that the waterways were the primary source of transportation for these people. First off, the most easily identifiable piece of evidence for this is the clear signs of water erosion on the cliff face, canyon floor, and dense foliage in the canyon itself. I believe the proper term for the particular erosion I am describing at Mesa Verde is called 'Gulley Erosion'? Along with this, when you closely look at the various locations of the Mesas, (there are nearly a dozen different 'Mesas' within the park itself) every one of the structures located within a close proximity of one another are at the EXACT SAME ELEVATION WITHIN THE CANYONS, with clear, indistinguishable signs of water erosion just below these various Mesas! I can't make this stuff up, I kept telling my girlfriend when we visited 2 months ago, "ANYONE WHO DOESN'T SEE THAT THERE WAS A MAJOR RIVER HERE AT SOME POINT IS BLIND!" Third, the Colorado Plateau, famous for Bruce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Canyon of the Ancients, and yes, Mesa Verde was clearly carved by runoff from flood water in an ancient past, as described in numerous papers and websites across the world. It's no secret that the plateau was once a water filled chunk of land, and the signs of runoff through Mesa Verde are clearly evident. For a society that used supposedly used ladders, ropes, and climbed the cliffs for movement and transportation of stone, giant logs, food, and basic materials, there are ZERO Mesas and ZERO signs of human traffic and activity at the floor of the canyons, which should immediately set off flags for anyone with a basic understanding of anthropology and archeology. For anyone who has visited Mesa Verde and looked deeper into this as well, please tell me what your thoughts on it are. I hope this comment doesnt get lost in the vast uselessness of youtube and some great information can be brought forward!

    I just visited this site this past August!!! Amazing site! While the kivas were used for ceremony or whatever, they were also used as the daily fire place for most families, and the reason there were 21 built at this location is because they believe there were 21 different families living in the Palace dwelling. When a man got married, he would join his wifes family and move to their Kiva for most activities.

      I should also mention our guide said she had been there on the summer solstice to observe alignments of the sun through certain windows, of one of the locations, and that I remember a dwelling on the cliffs they said was used to keep live animals such as turkeys. Also, the place we see it as today, was not discovered in that condition. Whether the rubble fell naturally over the centuries or it was intentionally dismantled before being abandoned, I am unsure.

If you're interested in the topic, may I suggest researching the ruins at Chaco Canyon in New Mexico? The astronomical alignments rival those of any other ancient site.

    Just got back a couple of weeks ago from exploring around Durango, Silverton, etc and had the opportunity to do this tour at Cliff Palace. We actually took a bus from Durango so that's about a 1.5 hour drive and our driver, Wes, was absolutely fascinating. He has been doing National Park guides for about 40 years, including the Grand Canyon. A teacher, historian, philosopher.. and willing to teach us about the history of the Pueblo people. I learned so much in those 3 hours driving there and back. Getting to actually see and touch the kivas was absolutely amazing. Walking down into the palace...it's other-worldly. I cried my eyes out. The energy here is BIG and it's so easy to feel. It's pretty amazing because also because as massive as it looks, it actually goes back 9 more layers (if I'm not mistaken) and contains 150 rooms. Simply astounding. Especially if you can imagine that you wouldn't have seen any of that exposed rock, it would've been covered in plaster and then painted different colors. I bet it was GORGEOUS 🥰. The engineering they displayed is really quite impressive... If you're able, just go.

    While protection from enemies is one theory for the origins of cliff dwellings, the Four Corners area is full of sites on the plains that are not protected, although there are some signs of hostilities. I sometimes think that these cliff sites are similar to monasteries. I have visited this area a lot, and when Göbekli Tepe was announced, I immediately thought of Mesa Verde and the many kivas, which seemed to be similar although separated by 11,000 years or so. By the way, the cliff dwellers farmed the flat plateaus above their dwellings, and there also are substantial structures there, too, such as one called the Temple of the Sun.

      Everything's starting to pile up, connections are being made, and everything is leading me to frequencies and sound. Vibrations. As everything vibrates on a certain frequency, into being. To merely change the frequency in which someone or something vibrates on, and it will take on an entirely different appearance, shape and or form, leaving the initial elements unchanged.
      What does it all mean ??? A whole lot, actually... In fact, this is about every single atom in all existence. Every living and non living thing known and unknown. As everything from trees, rocks, birds, and people, vibrate at a certain frequency.
      I'm thinking that if one could really tap into this as well as the magnetic fields and ley lines connecting all ancient sites, the world over, all of which utilize all 5 of our natural sources of this planet. As our Ancient ancestors were so in tune with nature that they knew how to alter frequencies and vibrations of living as well as nonliving objects.
      Not only alter, but use natural or amplified vibrational frequencies for healing purposes and mainting longevety, i.e. lived for 300,000 yrs , compared to today, where we are lucky to see 80 yrs of life.
      Lol, I know this has nothing to do with anything you commented about. But there are so many of these ancient sites with oracle rooms. Pyramids and temples with moving water , mica, mercury , underground tunnels, labyrinths and chambers and everthing was built insitu..... The Kiva pits, reminded me of Gobekli Tepi temple circles, both missing the wooden roof systems that once were....theory only.
      I just really think I'm onto something with the endless hours of research into megalithic as well as ancient sites the world over and this I believe has a lot to do with it and a good theory worth investigation in my oppinion.

      Montezumas well was occupied by the Hohokam much later than Mesa verde. There’s historical photos of the people living there. You can get a lot of info just from their park website. Montezumas well contains a gas that makes the water uninhabitable to animals. There is only a specific type of leach that lives in the water. Supposedly the water bubbles up from deep underground.

    It is a cool place, been there a couple of times, once just looking at it from afar, once over in it.. long time ago both times. There are also lots of small "cliff dwellings" upstream along the Colorado River, and after the confluence of the Green River and the Colorado,, one can see them along the Green River too.
