| At winter solstice two daggers of light, formed by the spaces between the three rock slabs just touch the two sides of the serpent carved by the Anasazi in the rock behind the three slabs. The three rock slabs are shown here to the left and the Sun can be seen between two of the slabs. |  |
| The three slabs were placed against the side
of Fajada Butte by the Anasazi to create these light daggers that mark
the summer and winter solstices, both equinoxes, and the Moon's most
northerly and most southerly rising points in its 19 year cycle. Last modified 7 March 2005. |
