Mesa Verde是美國位在科羅拉多州在的國家公園,也是美國原住民Pueblo的居住遺址,共有600多個遺址,但開放少數供民眾參觀。房子是鑿山崖而成,掛在懸崖上,參觀必需爬樓梯下去,又再爬梯子上來。我在一個參觀入口處等入場,碰到一個樣外國老人,他告訴我他女兒下去參觀,他在入口等,因為他太老了,爬不上樓梯,心想幸好我現在來,再過幾年,我也像他一樣,只能在門口等了。
Mesa Verde, Spanish for green table, offers a spectacular look into the lives of the Ancestral Pueblo people who made it their home for over 700 years, from AD 600 to 1300. Today the park protects nearly 5,000 known archeological sites, including 600 cliff dwellings. These sites are some of the most notable and best preserved in the United States.
