Labyrinth in the Ruins

Aztec Ruins National Monument is what remains of a once-thriving community of Ancient Puebloans in present-day New Mexico. The complex of living quarters, storage areas, passegeways, and kivas once contained between 450-500 rooms, and was occupied for nearly 200 years. Regional climate change is strongly believed to have forced the inhabitants to relocate.
