Mesa Verde, Spanish for Green Table, was the home of the Ancestral Pueblo Indians who lived there over seven hundred years from AD 600 to AD 1300.
Today the Park protects over 4,000 known archeological sites including over 600 dwellings.
When you tour this Park and see the dwellings it makes you wonder just how in the world did the Pueblo Indians build these dwellings with nothing but their hands. They had to cut the sand stone and carry it a long way to the final construction site.
