Right up there.

Sun is shinning over my left shoulder.  As Kadizzle looks out the window to the south he sees in bright sunshine the ruins of ancient people up on the mountain side.  The Tonto National Monument in all its glory overlooks the valley we sit in.  What was it like when actual humans lived there?  They would be up early, maybe a little chilly today.  They would have to think about getting some water up there, and probably some food.  Down here they probably would have seen field growing their crops.  They would have seen the big platform mound they built to the East.  To the West they would have seen another of their platform mounds.  They might see smoke from all the occupied sites all around them as everyone starts the day.

Would people come from lower on the Salt River to bring them goods and trade with them?  Would they send people up into the mountains North of here to harvest some game?  Who was making all those pot shards that are now everywhere.  How many people where here?  Someone was regularly attacking these people. Who was it?  Was it other hungry close relatives? Was it people far from the North or South? Was it the Apaches who are now at the Walmart in Globe?  Turn the clock back 600 years and ask what happened on a sunny morning in February 600 years ago.  How did these people exist? What did they know? They never had a clue some people from Europe would show up and bring them the best diseases man could offer.  They never knew they would be tortured, killed, and driven from their land so some hopeless cattle could take their place.  Perhaps someday Earth will be invaded, and humans will be seen as an obnoxious weed.  The aliens will wipe us out and replace us with space buffalo.  Unless of course it turns out we are tasty.  We would be put on display in their stores meat counter and the alien butcher will say do you like white meat or dark meat?   An alien will see me on display and tell the butcher he is trying to avoid too much fat and perhaps he could have someone a little more lean.  All seems impossible, but lets not forget that the Spanish invaded Cuba and cut up the natives and cooked them.  Supposedly it was to fry Satan out of the, but who knows if they made stir fry.
