Prehistoric Road Leading From Aztec's Ruins

Rev. Camden Cobern, Prof. T. r.
Cutler, geologist; Captain Cecil
Deane, of the Colorado state his
torical society, and Rev. ] c.
Gullette have for the past FIVE
weeks constituted an exploring
party among the ruins of the cliff
and mesa dwellers of New Mexico.
In speaking Of the Aztec ruins, Or.
Cobern says: When we were at
Aztec, in that part Of the country
filled with ruins which have been
most visited, we discovered one
indication of the great age of the
ruins, which had been hitherto
overlooked. It was a road, run
ming as straight as any modern
engineer could have run it, from
the great cliff palace to the stone
quarries miles away. This path
was about so feet wide, and as clear
ly defined as a Denver street, From
its surface every obstruction, every
stone as laIge as a walnut, had been
cleared away--thrown to one side,
The road leads across the valley,
straight up the side Of the mesa,
and across it. The road descends
the other side to the quarries,
where were stones fresh cut, ready
to be taken over to the buildings.
But it has been so long since that
road was used that on the side of
the mesa the river has changed its
course, and the valley has been
worn away, so that for a space the
road is lost, reappearing a consider
able distance beyond the point at
which it vanishes. That geolog-
ical change must have taken an
immense streatch of time.
Right in the center of this
road we found a cedar three 80
inches in diameter These cedar
grow very slowly, particularly in
that arid climate, so that it may
have been 500 years, and it may
have been longer, since the tree
took roots, and there is no telling
how long the road had been desert
ed before the seeding found foot
ing in its hard beaten surface. We
brought sections of the tree home.
The San Juan County index. (Aztec, N.M.) 1890-19??, 1900-06-15

The cedar in this climate grows SO
slowly that a cross section will have
to be polished and the rings count
ed under a microscope before we
can determine its age.
But this ruin at Aztec was far
younger than others that I saw.
In those houses the wood is still in
place as floor beams and supporting
the roofs; in fact, the timbers are
in such good shape that the settlers
have taken them out and are using
them. On the Mountezuma mesas
we found a house made of finer stone
than that at Aztec, blocks as large
as those used in a stone house now,
dressed on all faces and set up
accurately, tier on tier, never vary
ing a hairs breadth. In this
house every trace of wood had
disappeared.
"Savages never built the great
stone houses which dot every water
course in Southern Colorado, New
Mexico and Arizona. They were
not savages who made pottery in
more than 100 designs without the
aid of the potter wheel; who wove
cloth from wild cotton and flax
and the fur of the rabbit, or made
feather cloth from the piumage OF
birds; who excavated reservoirs of
many acres in extent, who built
roads many miles in length, fre-
quently through cemented gravel
or lava beds, and with as uniform
grade as to-day is made by a civil
engineer; who carved with their
stone chisels those strange picto-
graphs by which they strove to pre-
serve the records Of their race, but
which tC us are mute. DR.. Co.
bern, photographing these picto-
graphs, was astonished to find
among them one of,a human being,
in a position OF supplication, with
upraised arms, open hands, entirely
similar to the figures which he had
seen many a time on monuments il
the Nile valley. Egyptologists
consider it the figure typical of the
worship of the Great Unknown, the
Supreme Power.
