 This
Great Kiva is at the heart of the "Aztec" ruins. The ruins,
and the town of Aztec, NM, get their name from the stories told by the
Spanish explorer Cortéz, who thought that the pueblos of the American
southwest couldn't have been built by North American indians.
The kiva was originally built by the Chaco people near the
end of the Chaco culture period, or around 1111 ce. and was later occupied
by the people of Mesa Verde. It was constructed by Earl H. Morris in 1934,
and is the only full-size reconstructed kiva in the Southwest.
