Hohokam Petroglyphs. South Mountain Park , Phoenix , Arizona part 5 of 5

The Hohokam . Between 10,000 and 25,000 years ago the first people arrived in Arizona . About 2,000 years ago , the Hohokam began an irrigation and agricultural economy along the banks of Tonto Creek , the Salt , Gila ,San Perdo , Agua Fria , Verde , and Santa Cruz River . Maize (corn) , beans , squash , and cotton were cultivated . They gathered mesquite beans and roasted agave . Deer , javelina , rabbits , bighorn sheep , rodents , repetiles , fish , and birds were also eaten .The Hohokam produced elaborate craftwork , developed far-reaching trade contacts , and built ballcourts . They pecked petroglyphs into the rocks . Sometime in the 1400's the Hohokam "vanished" . Urban development , agricultural leveling , and people have destroyed much of what Hohokam left .Important information can still be gained from the remaining material culture and petroglyphs .Please leave it as you find it . http://www.pueblogrande.org/

This was an excellent educational series on the original people of this land. All videos have been rated 5 stars. I too appreciate the deserts of my land.

Great job!

Why is this stupid troll touching the rocks?

[patrioticsupporter]

The more I watch the more she is pissing me off, stop touching the petroglyphs already you fucking ditz.

[patrioticsupporter]

@irepelay A well educated person would not touch these fragile pieces of human history. She should probably learn a little more before visiting these places.

[4brotherskids]

Omg she touched the rock she should not touch it

[pdutube]

Tlazocamati ica cena cualli,Naui! I always pronounced it hoh-HOH-kahm, but it's been so long since I stared pronouncing it, I don't remember how authoritative a source I got that pronunciation from. How long was it from the earliest scene we see in these 5 vids to the last scene we see. I ask because those chem-trails became spread-out & crooked a lot during that time, & a lot of people still don't know anything about that spraying up there.
