Mesa Verde: The Story Behind the Scenery (English and German Edition)

The green table of Mesa Verde is a land bathed in culture and mystery. From the monumental architecture of the Ancestral Puebloans to the historic discovery of the hidden cliff cities, it is a place where people farmed, dreamed, worshipped, agonized, and thrived for centuries. Many of its treasures have been excavated and removed, yet its haunting secrets may remain unrevealed for time immemorial.

Mesa Verde National Park, located in southwestern Colorado, was established in 1906 to safeguard the most notable and best preserved cliff dwellings and other works of a prehistoric culture in the United States.
