Sometime around 1200 BC, a culture we now refer to as the Ancient Puebloans arose in the Four Corners region of the US. Their ‘Golden Age’ arrived circa 900 AD, and in New Mexico you can visit ancient cities and other sites from this era: Chaco Culture National Historical Park in the northwest, Bandelier National Monument just west of Santa Fe, Gran Quivira in the center of the state, and Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument in the southwest. Archaeologists are still unsure why, just a few centuries later, the culture disappeared.
