Inside EVERY Large Ruin at Wupatki National Monument, Arizona
June 4th, 2023: Wupatki National Monument in northern Arizona, just northeast of Flagstaff, preserves large ruins from up to a millennium ago. The Sinagua people, who shared many cultural ties with the Hohokam to the south, occupied this region for centuries, but disbanded in the 1300s. During their time in northern Arizona, the Sinagua experienced volcanic eruption and ashfall, developing advanced high desert dry-farming techniques. They also advanced a sophisticated culture and traded with peoples as far away as southern Mexico. Join me as I walk through the ruins they left behind.

Small, low doors mean that enemies cannot easily rush into a building. The attacker is bent over - easier to whack him in the head. Small opening means only one at a time can enter. Small door means when you whack the first guy and he collapses, his body is now helping block subsequent attackers from entering.
There is a ball court in Catalinas State Park as well, although it's not in as good a state of preservation
EVERY large ruin? not a chance 😮

I'll give it a 69% chance. These are just the ruins the deep state wants you to see...

Looks like the “deep state” workers do a great job maintaining this National Monument Park. They deserve a raise.

It’s a national park service controlled area. They are anxious to get tourist money. Why would they keep any ruins from the public? What exactly, do you think the government would hide? Having been through the area and knowing what to look for, you can see walls of past residents all over the place. The folks who abandoned this area didn’t have much to offer us other than the larger ruins.
