Sky City
The Pueblo (village) of Acoma was built on top of a 370 foot mesa in the state of New Mexico. The pueblo was built on top of the mesa for defensive purposes, keeping neighboring tribes from raiding food and other supplies. Archeologists have found evidence that the tribe had been in the area since 1200 A.D. Tribal legends and stories have placed its occupation to a time before Christ.
