Cliff Palace, Mesa Verde National Park (No. 13)

Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in North America. The structure built by the Ancestral Puebloans is located in Mesa Verde National Park in their former homeland region. The cliff dwelling and park are in Montezuma County, in the southwestern corner of Colorado, in the Southwestern United States.

Tree-ring dating indicates that construction and refurbishing of Cliff Palace was continuous approximately from 1190 CE through 1260 CE, although the major portion of the building was done within a 20-year time span. The Ancestral Puebloans, also known as Anasazi, who constructed this cliff dwelling and the others like it at Mesa Verde were driven to these defensible positions by "increasing competition amidst changing climatic conditions". Cliff Palace was abandoned by 1300, though debate is ongoing as to the cause. Some contend that a series of megadroughts interrupting food production systems was the main cause.

Cliff Palace was rediscovered in 1888 by Richard Wetherill and Charlie Mason while they were looking for stray cattle.

Cliff Palace dwelling

Long House

🔽Mug House🔽

Mug House

During the winter of 1889-90, six men (five Wetherill brothers and Charles C. Mason) explored ruins of a massive multiroom Ancient Puebloan complex at the far end of the mesa. They first uncovered the Mug House site.

The crew turned up buckskins, poetry, stone axes, and knives. But they also found three mugs tied together with a yucca cord, which presumably gave Mug House its name.

A Park Ranger Tour of the Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the southeast while taking in views to nearby cliff dwellings of the Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde National Park. This was while on the 700 Years Tour.

Mesa Verde National Park (No. 21)

The Cliff Palace Overlook is the first stop 6-mile (10 km) Cliff Palace Loop Road. Recent studies reveal that Cliff Palace contained 150 rooms and 23 kivas and had a population of approximately 100 people. Out of the nearly 600 cliff dwellings concentrated within the boundaries of the park, 75% contain only 1-5 rooms each, and many are single room storage units. If you visit the Cliff Palace overlook you will view an exceptionally large dwelling which may have had special significance to the original occupants. It is thought that Cliff Palace was a social, administrative site with high ceremonial usage.

"Don't worry kid, you're dad had plenty of kids he stopped helping out when he lost interest"

Theseus, who was helped by poseidon multiple times, but in the end was thrown off a cliff by the citizens of Athens and drowned. Drowned in the ocean, the very domain of his father.

Kymopoleia, who was neglected by Poseidon once he found her to be too violent, left to wander his abandoned palaces, given up as a war prize to man she didn't even want with no choice at all.

Bellerophon, who was given the pegasus to tame as a gift from Poseidon in some myths, dying by falling off of it on his way to Olympus.

I'm just saying, that line wasn't a random throwaway line by Ares, he means it.

An Official Vacation Guide to Mesa Verde National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While on the 700 Years Tour with a view looking to the north to the cliff dwelling ruins of the Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde National Park. What I wanted to capture with this image was a look across the ruin walls and entire setting by having them go ahead the image center from edge to edge. I decided to take advantage of the high ground I was on to capture a view looking down and then a cross this archaeological site.

7 - calista (from tvsteoftrvgedy)

#7 THINGS YOU SAID WHEN OUR WORLD BEGAN TO CRUMBLE. FROM THINGS YOU SAID ⬩ Still accepting.

"You should not be here." Her words were cold. Colder than they ever were, as cold the tone of her carnation that has been mutating since the Witches curses have fallen upon. The kingdom was of blood and horrors, bodies piling up in front of the palace doors, a blood bath raging as every single living soul was losing their minds, killing each other, killing themselves due to an unbearable force, one that the freshly turned Lamia became. Slowly, she turned around to face the other, her dress of an immaculate luxurious white covered in reds of bloods, some fresh, some dried as if the soon-to-be-queen have spent days standing here, not cleaning herself from her sins. Her eyes were basking in an unstability and sorrow so deep, that the tears of rage have marked and deformed her features while the devil slowly crawled under. "I will kill you." Her lip and corner of her eye twitched into a sad, mad, ironic, desperate state, defeated by her own tragic destiny, her own punishment. "The monster under my skin, it is going to take the life out of the soul of yours, Jieun. In the way it has killed and tortured every single living soul that has come near me. It simply was a matter of time, was not it? That a heart as petrified and rotten as mine become the source of this kingdom's decline and fall. They tricked me, The Witches of the Moutains, their chaos magic penetrated inside of me, inside of my bone and blood, it turned me into this... creature... I wish to never pronounce the name of." Her pain was grand and her despair so deep tears started raising again, her eyes now staring down at her hands, wide open, perhaps still in shock. "I have simply asked them for the world to see me for who I truly am. I wanted my beauty inside to shine. How ridiculous. How ironic. That I fooled myself believing my inners were beautiful when truly, they were an abomination all along." Her hands were shaking, and so was her voice. "DO NOT. COME. NEAR ME." She shouted as from the corner of her she caught Jieun making one small step into her direction, her voice causing her friend's body to unconsciouly follow the order and instantly freeze. Frightened, the princess stumbled back until her back hit the window, petrified every time one of her powers manifested, taking control of minds and bodies around her, bending them until death follows. "Why would you even come here ? I have condamned you since the moment you have been by side. Gungnyeos were foolish, idiotic in their jealousy, in their envy. What was so envious about being attached to the malediction I was meant to become? Every single moment we have shared paved to this instant. The instant I would betray you out of my own monstrosity... - ." She paused, closing her eyes, focusing the hardest she could to release her friend's body from her hypnosis, not opening them just yet, perhaps scared to harm the only person who came back here, in this empty castle surrounded by death, to see her, to talk to her - the only friend she ever had. Her fists and jaw remained clenched and her eyes close, in frustration, in fear, in pain.

"Run. As far as you can, run. And never cross paths with me. Ever again. Please."

#FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU!!!#Thank youuu oh my god I was dreeaming of writing Calista and Naeun in their chapter ZERO - it is Calista's villain ORIGIN STORY.#This scene takes place right before Ji/Naeun kills herself off the cliff - when she comes to see Calista one last time.#So yes this is all going down in 1500 after Calista returned to her palace after asking the Witches for their magic to change her life :#Ironic enough the witches did change it but not in the direction she wanted.#In this moment she doesn't tell Jieun/Naeun that she also asked the witches for Ji/Naeun to hurt - because she's ashamed.#In fact she doesn't even realize the curse she pushed on Jieun/Naeun even worked - she only sees her OWN curse causing death all Around.#I want her to come up with the “realization” that she's been behind Jieun/Naeun's fate in modern times when she rewatch the discs.#She dismisses her at the end because she wants Ji/Naeun to live - realizing that she is indeed her only friend and that she cares about her #I think it also reveals of what Calista has always been scared of and what she still is scared of in modern times : her own self.#She never wanted to live with herself.#ANYWAY I LOVE THEM THIS LINK BETWEEN THEM IS JUST SO POWERFUL #셋 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐀 / the immortal.#셋 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐀 / interactions.
