我要给你们读一点国家公园管理处的资料，是关于被我们称之为阿纳萨奇的人，在科罗纳多出现前的几个世纪里，他们是如何记录时间的。他们一定意识到他们是自然的一部分，他们的生活应该与季节同步，这意味着可靠的冬至夏至时钟十分重要。他们确实做到了。他们在石头上刻上标记，观察到每年太阳的照射方式都是一样的。“其中一处岩画位于普埃科普韦布洛，距离石化森林的北入口11英里，南入口17英里。一条铺好的小路穿过普尔科普韦布洛，通往一块巨石，上面有一个小小的螺旋形岩石雕刻，标志着夏至。在夏至6月21日前后的两周时间里，一束阳光投射在巨石上，沿着一面向下到达螺旋的中心，在上午9点左右达到顶峰。如果没有护林员可以去交流的话，在普尔科普韦布洛小道的侧道上，有一个靠近岩画的路边展览可以去看看。你可能会觉得难以置信，但是如果你在那里亲眼看看的话，那将是十分令人兴奋的。
I’m just going to read you a bit from the Park Service about how the people we call the Anasazi kept track of time for centuries before Coronado showed up. They must have realized they were part of nature and that their lives were meant to synchronize with the seasons, which meant the dependable time clock of the solstices were worth paying attention to. And pay attention they did. They carved markers into stone that they observed were illuminated by the sun the same way from one year to the next. “ One [of these petroglyphs, as they’re called,] … is located at Puerco Pueblo, eleven miles from the north entrance of Petrified Forest, seventeen miles from the south entrance. A short paved trail leads through Puerco Pueblo to a boulder featuring a small spiral petroglyph that marks the summer solstice. For about a two week period around the summer solstice June 21, a shaft of sunlight is projected onto the boulder and travels down the side to touch the center of the spiral, peaking about 9 am. There is a wayside exhibit near the petroglyph on the side path from the Puerco Pueblo trail if there are no rangers available (to talk to). “ You may find it hard to believe, but it is exciting to be there when this happens.
