Montezuma Castle - US, built in 1100, 392 Years before Columbus

'These impressive structures have amazed since the first colonists came to what is now Arizona. Located in Cape Verde, it was created by the Sinagua people sometime around 1100 AD.

The name is actually a mistake as those first explorers assumed it had to be tied into the Aztec culture when it predates that.

The Hopi and Yavapai tribes both pay pilgrimage there to honor their ancestors.

It looks for all the world like a high-rise apartment complex, only built right into the rock face of the huge cliff.

Even modern engineers are impressed by the skill. While decades of looters have sadly robbed it of many treasures, the sight alone makes this the only “castle” in the U.S. worth checking out.'

My apologies I could not upload the full article and more importantly the image of the castle which I wanted you all to see. Take a look at the original source to see the castle.

The original article included a set of famous places around the last 2, 000 years and if that interest you, take a look and check it out. My purpose for including the monument containing the American site is because of its relevance to Columbus and the myth of his discovery of the so called New World.
