This ruin probably dates to around 1,000 to 1,200 AD, and is in southeastern Utah, on Cedar Mesa relatively close to the Natural Bridges National Monument. The architecture is not actually supporting the rock above, just enclosing the space underneath. Pretty cool, no?

No mortar! When the Spanish conquered Cusco, Peru, they destroyed much of the Inca stonework and used the stone to rebuild their own structures. Yet, some of the Spanish Colonial buildings are built on undestroyed foundations of Inca craftsmanship. Interestingly, the Spanish buildings fall during earthquakes, yet the unmortared Inca works persevere.
