Qenko submitted by Michelledubois on 11th Oct 2011. Near Cuzco is at a site called Qenqo, which is a monstrous rock all carved out with tunnels inside, and the whole upper surface is a maze of sculpted surfaces. The stone is andesite. The "thing" in this photo creates a perfect Puma head shadow 2 times a year. Nobody knows its true purpose.

Log Text: Salt River Hohokam by Public Transit and Foot.
This day trip will take you to a 1,500 year old ruin of a Hohokam village, Pueblo Grande, a butte where the Hohokam left petrogyphs, and the ruin of a Hohokam farmstead - a "suburb" of Pueblo Grande. All the sites are accessible by public transportation and walks on either city streets or maintained trails. The trip could take as little as two and a half hours or as much as five hours, but four hours touring time is a reasonable estimate if you want to fully enjoy the museum and each site.
Start at Pueblo Grande site and museum at the SE corner of Washington and 44th Street, Phoenix. On the SW corner is a [url=www.valleymetro.org/]Valley Metro[/url] light rail station, accessible by bus in the Valley Metro system. A free shuttle bus from the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport also runs to this station regularly from early morning to late evening. I made this trip as part of a planned, 6 hour layover at the airport.
Pueblo Grande is one of the main accessible Hohokam village or town sites. The prehistoric Hohokam (1AD - 1450AD) lived in central and southern Arizona. They farmed corn, beans, squash, and cotton and are best known for their water management skills. Prior to modern reservoir systems, the Salt River flowed year round and the Hohokam built and maintained irrigation systems. Along these abandoned canals the remains of their villages and extended homesteads were found by historic Europeans. Many of the canals were so well laid out that the new pioneers often followed and simply renewed prehistoric canals to supply their own fields. The Hohokam built their villages in adobe, regularly centered around platform mounds and ballcourts. Drought, floods, and possible internal conflict caused the Hohokam to abandon the Salt River Valley in the 1400's. The historic Akimel O'odham (Pima) people are the most likely descendants of the Hohokam.
The museum on site explains the irrigation systems and describes how Pueblo Grande extended over a much larger area than is preserved today.
A visit to the Pueblo Grande site can take 1-2 hours depending on your level of interest.
Now go to "Pueblo Grande - Ball Court". [URL=http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=15417]http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=15417[/URL].

Poverty Point

Country: United States (The South)
Visited: Yes on 4th Sep 2012
Poverty Point submitted by bat400 on 4th Sep 2012. The "Poverty Point Objects" (PPOs). These fired earthen balls and cubes are unique to the Poverty Point culture. These on display in the park museum are decorated, although many are plain. There is a lot of speculation on what purpose they served, but a general opinion is that they were heated used for earth oven cooking, the area lacks stones more generally used for similar purposes at other sites and called "fire cracked rock" (FCR).

Portland Art Museum submitted by bat400 on 4th Feb 2017. An Anthropomorphic Figure carved from basalt. Columbia River Valley. Pre-European Contact period.
The figure is over four and a half feet tall. From the catalog: "Considering its massive size and the exaggerated genitalia touching the ground, it probably served as a public monument to commemorate an individual either real or mythical, as a symbol of fertility, strength, and renewal."
