This is the rear of Pueblo Bonito, beneath the cliff face where Threatening Rock once stood. Pueblo Bonito is
laid out as a segmented half-disc, with it's bent south wall aligned to coincide with the
sunrise and sunset at equinox. This divides the great house into a summer half
and a winter half. |
