Question
Solstice sunrises at this place’s outlying Wijiji building were photographed by G. B. Cornucopia. In a term coined by Cynthia Irwin-Williams, this place’s “phenomenon” denotes a cultural flourishing of the 11th century CE. “Horseshoes” thought to be shrines or smoke signal sites line the perfectly straight roads that emanate from this place, like the “Great North” one. Theorists of this site’s “meridian,” like Stephen Lekson, hold that Aztec Ruins and Paquimé were built to (*) align with it on a north–south axis. Near this site, Anna Sofaer documented a spiral petroglyph called the Sun Dagger that may track an 18.6-year lunar cycle. T-shaped doors and imported timber roof beams characterize this site’s “Great Houses,” such as Pueblo Bonito, which influenced Mesa Verde to its north. For 10 points, Fajada Butte looms over what Ancestral Pueblo archaeological site, a canyon in New Mexico? ■END■
