Wisdom from Chaco Canyon

Now, even if you stay just few hours in Chaco, you'll have the opportunity to discover a lot. The buildings and construction are fascinating and truly amazing. This is one of the very rare sites around the world known for its building alignment being on the path of theSun course AND the path of the Moon course. The other site in the world known for this is Stonehenge in England. This alignment, which is fascinating to witness,shows how knowledgeable the Chacoan people were, especially about astronomy.This knowledge was in fact extremely important for them, since it confirmed the cycle of the season, the time to plant and the time to harvest. Some doors and openings are aligned in such a way, for two days in the year and two days only (at the equinox), that there is a perfect alignment for the sun to go straight through them at sunrise, without creating any shadow...Today when these alignments are measuredwith precise scientific instruments it correspondexactly to the trajectory / path of the sun and the moon.
