Three Kivasby ~Erael71

Photography / Architecture / Exterior

A kiva is a room used by modern Puebloans for religious rituals, many of them associated with the kachina belief system. Among the modern Hopi and most other Pueblo peoples, kivas are square-walled and underground, and are used for spiritual ceremonies. When designating an ancient room as a kiva, archaeologists make assumptions about the room's original functions and how those functions may be similar to or differ from kivas used in modern practice. The kachina belief system appears to have emerged in the Southwest at approximately AD 1250, while kiva-like structures occurred much earlier. This suggests that the room's older functions may have been changed or adapted to suit the new religious practice.

Very beautiful! Great shot!

Thank you David. During my visit you just don't know what to expect but have a good idea from all the pictures on the internet. Then the park rangers explain things the harsh conditions the Pueblo people endured. Then you see the areas that were burnded from years past. Hard to believe but true...

One of those fires uncovered a kiva and other bildings on one of the mesas.

~Erael71 Nov 15, 2012 Hobbyist Photographer

I didn't know that Tony. Do you know which one and is it open to the public?

*segura2112 Nov 16, 2012 Student Digital Artist

No I don't, but you might be able to find out on their website.
