Sinaqua Solar Calander
This solar calendar is a fairly recent finding here at the V bar V heritage site southeast of Sedona. It was a working ranch up until 1994 when it was acquired in a land swap with the National Forest Service. This is a pre-Columbian solar calendar that the Sinaqua Indians used. The time period is believed to be from 1150-1400 AD. The shafts of light reflect off of the upper rocks and send a beam down on specific petroglyphs that pertain to planting etc at the equinoxes. The shafts of light are supposed to be pefectly parrallel. It makes me wonder how or if different cultures shared knowledge. Did the one of the pre-Columbian civilizations like the Aztecs share this information with the Southwest indians? It is said to be the highest concentration of petroglyphs in the southwest. Larger
