But the outcomes of the recent investigation that took place in "The Four Corners" area exemplify our need to consider age-old notions right along with the ecological history of the region in question.

various theories have been presented to try and explain how these magnificent monuments were constructed. Each hypothesis was modeled off the use of a ramp, although some had more flaws than others. The first theory was based on a straight external ramp, but mathematically, it seemed very impractical.

Finally, the most recent theory involved
