This is a simple monument but it has interesting facts about the people and their living structures. The people carried wood for 20 miles for their floors and they were masters in cement like soil. The housing structures had a square hole used to track a 18.5 lunar year cycle. The structure could have been for royalty because it had...

They were not running a tour while we were there (short-handed) so we took full advantage of the 15-minute film and covering the exhibit hall.
If you have kids, don't miss...
