Synopsis
Documentary about Chaco Canyon, located in northwest New Mexico, an archaeological marvel and perhaps the only known site in the world constructed in an elaborate pattern that mirrors the yearly cycles of the sun and the lesser-known 19-year cycle of the moon. The program presents substantial evidence that the Chacoan people, ancestors of today's Pueblo Indians, expressed a complex solar and lunar cosmology in their architecture.
