Rent prices are soaring, especially for 20-room high-rise apartments with a view. montezumanps was built strategically by the Sinagua people, who knew a thing or two about architecture. They designed the castle to face south so that it stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and the high location protects it from any flooding or threats from enemies. And then, one day, just like modern-day renters, they disappeared. Because the Sinagua people had no written language, it's still a mystery why they left, but we are grateful that they left their dwellings behind so that we can learn from their superior craftsmanship. #MontezumaCastle #MontezumaCastleNationalMonument #Rent #Dwelling #Ancient #Montezuma #Archeology #Architecture #Disappearance #Mystery #NativeAmerican #Language #Cliff #CliffDwellings #Arizona #Inflation 📸: nationalparkservice Image: Montezuma Castle rises high in the cliff.
