[Aztlan] Ancient Hohokam canals found in Mesa

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

Satellite imagery archaeology has enabled archaeologists to find ancient Hohokam canals in downtown Mesa, Arizona. The canal system was known but it is the extent of it that is the surprise. A water park to be built at the site has been put on hold. There is a golf course and a hospital atop the canals as well as the Mesa Grande Pueblo Ruins. The Hohokam canals rivaled Ancient Egypt and China. They cultivated tobacco, cotton, beans, squash, maize and agave.
