Everything about El Morro National Monument totally explained
El Morro National Monument is located on an ancient east-west trail in western New Mexico. The main feature of this
National Monument is a great sandstone promontory with a pool of water at its base. As a shaded oasis in the western U.S. desert, this site has seen many centuries of travelers. The Spaniard explorers called it "
El Morro" (
The Headland). The
Zuni Indians call it "A'ts'ina" (
Place of writings on the rock). Anglo-Americans called it "
Inscription Rock". Travelers left signatures, names, dates, and stories of their treks. While some of the inscriptions are fading, there are still many that can be seen today, some dating to the 17th century. Some petroglyphs and carvings were made by the
Anasazi centuries before Europeans started making their mark. In
1906, U.S. federal law prohibited further carving.
