That is a very powerful image. But Yogo? Are you making fun of my typo in another thread?

Hi Gary, I did not mean to pick on you, it's just that after what Alan wrote in the copper sprinkler thread I could not resist. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img]
When I read his post this image came to mind. You can see that really it was Alan's idea. Thanks Alan. He wanted to know what the Yogo were so I thought I would help out.

The Yogo were a proud , intelligent, civilized, nation of people. They were named Yogo after their leader. They inhabitted the lands that are today known as New Mexico. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Actually Yogo must be an Arizona branch of the Anasazi who occupied such places as Chaco Canyon (see attached photo--taken yesterday as a matter of fact). The Anasazi who occupied the Chaco Canyon region from about 800AD-1200AD and were incredible stone masons.

You read my mind. And that is a great photo.
I have never been to Chaco. I only have seen it on TV. The people that built Chaco were called the Anasazi by the Navajo. Or the Ancient ones for a english translation. They did build cliff dwellings all round the four corners area. I believe that the Yogo were part of this group. In Arizona we have Montezuma's Castle , but the this may have actually been Yogo's Castle. No one really knows what happend to these people. ? Acutally many of them moved south to join the Hopi and Zuni people.

Thanks Risto. I did add the shield as a form of censorship. Then I did not have to finish drawing Yogos legs. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
Here is Montezumas Castle in Az. Not as good as Gary's photo. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]
