Online Lecture: Nighttime Rituals at Chaco Canyon — Astronomy, Fire & Gambling

This was really fascinating. I hope to get to Chaco Canyon to see this area in person. I watched a tv documentary about this subject, but this discussion was better and more informative. Thank you for providing such high quality lectures with amazing experts.

Brief and informative lecture. Not too technical and not too broad for the short amount of time. Good use of the time and cost

Don't miss this session...surprising content expertly delivery

Fascinating exploration of several different aspects of what has been learned in the past 30+ years about the Chacoan people and their stunning accomplishments. Well worth an hour of listening/viewing time!

I sure learned more about a site that I have visited 3 times before. I am now planning an overnight camping trip in Chaco - hopefully during a new moon!

Excellent program about Chaco Canyon. Made me want to take a trip to Arizona to see it!

This is a worthwhile exposure for people interested in learning more about early cultures in the American Southwest. After visiting the Chaco Canyon site, this lecture provided a much fuller picture and understanding of what I had seen.

fascinating topic, insightful presentation

Pretty pricey but the free programs are great!

This lecture about nighttime activities as Chaco presents new and insightful information about Chaco. It's easy to imagine the fires burning at night, 1000s of people gathering for astronomical events. What an advanced civilization that seems to have been lost to American history books.

Fascinating information regarding the history of Chaco Canyon.

Very interesting topic with a nighttime twist. Chaco Canyon still holds many secrets that will only be discovered through advanced archaeology.

Learn more about Chaco Canyon with the wonderful Road Scholar team. Take a step back into history and close your eyes at various points to visualize what this area was in the past with people living there. Appreciate their astrological teachings and other knowledge they shared. Arlene E. Bernholtz

Fascinating presentation about how the ancestral pueblo people used their knowledge of astronomy to orient their structures. Chaco Canyon is an amazing and mysterious place and I enjoy learning more about it.

Interesting thoughts on what happened at Chaco in the evenings.

A revelation and, for archaeology, a revolution: what did people in previous times do at night? Besides sleep! We do something; so did they. Find out what!

Bob Weiner did an excellent job. He was well prepared and had excellent visuals. He also had no problems with questions - some of which were on the difficult side.
