Archeologists say this door was built around 880 years ago by people now called the Sinagua. Sinagua is Spanish for "without water," because there just wasn't much H20 near the cliff overhangs where these folks decided to set up house. Whether it was because of the tough water restrictions or otherwise, this cluster of cliff dwellings - now protected in the Walnut Canyon National Monument 10 miles east of Flagstaff - was abandoned after only about 125 years of use.
