Mesa Verde National Park

We have received new information from one of our field units. As we have mentioned many times before, the Institute has a crack team of archaeologists out in the field every day of the year looking for unexplained phenomenon. In fact they’re simply not allowed back on the Institute grounds unless they have something exceptional to report, and if they do return for any reason they must camp at the main gate and toss their reports over the razor wire until we decide if the information is cool enough to warrant further action. Although this may seem harsh we believe it keeps them sharp and focused. If they bring back anything interesting enough for us to publish they are allowed to enter the grounds for six hours to change clothes, resupply, get their mail and visit with loved ones. So the pressure is on to get the story.

They have found a mystery in Mesa Verde National park. How could that be, you may ask, that place is old. But in one of the less remote areas of the park they have found irrefutable evidence of a massive project undertaken by the Anasazi people, who as you know are a bunch of old Indians that lived in the area a long time ago. They were known for erecting lots of stone apartment buildings in hard to get to places. Some are so hard to get to you can’t even get there. We don’t why they did that. It is another mystery we intend to take up later. This one is a lot cooler so we’re going to tackle it first.

For some reason those Anasazi folks took it upon themselves to paint the cliffs red. That’s right. Paint the whole darn cliff red. Look at the picture again, we’re not fooling around here. This is actual proof that there is an unexplained mystery here at Mesa Verde and we’re going to get to the bottom of it if we have to stay here until those pesky Anasazi come back.

Now they, the Anasazi, have done a lot of stuff that is unexplainable plus a few things that are but this takes the corn-meal. It raises a whole range of questions. How come they did that, being one of the biggest. We’re not sure yet but we have some theories that are awful much like guesses. How did they get up there to paint it when they didn’t have scaffolding knowledge yet, let alone aluminum fabrication.

Don’t even go to the place where ancient mariners from the planet Bulhkraap came in their space craft and helped them out. That’s just nuts and we do serious research here. Where did they get all that red paint? And is it paint and not something more sinister like, you know, blood. How did they apply it? That’s going to have taken some serious paint rollers and if they did use paint rollers Why haven’t any been found in their recycling areas. Did they have some other even more massive project that required who knows how much red paint that we don’t even know about yet, and this is just the left-overs that they dumped over the side of the cliff to get rid of? Well, is it? See what we mean, the questions are just begging for answers. Why has the park service been so quiet about this? What are they trying to cover up?

Right now I have to say we’re stymied. Just flat-out stymied. We have asked for permission to remove a large portion of the cliff for carbon analysis but as yet have not had a response from the mysteriously quiet park officials. Again, What’s up, Park Service? Why all the secrecy?. We may be stonewalled at the moment but if you know anything at all about us here at The Institute you know we don’t give up. After our crew has been out there for a year or two they’re going to be at a point where they’re going to get  answers anyway they can. We don’t condone any illegal activity but I’m just saying. They’ll want to come home.

As of right now you know what we know. The Anasazi mysteriously painted the cliffs red long before it became Mesa Verde National park. Again the question arises why would they do that when they knew millions of people would visit this site and be exposed to this desecration of one our nations Nation’s greatest treasures. Didn’t they care about public opinion? The mystery only deepens but we have the patience and tenacity to stick it out and get the answers we know you need. We will keep you posted and if you have a moment please take a second to write the President and members of Congress letting them know your feelings on this. And we know your feelings are ‘You’re darn mad and you’re not going to take it anymore’. I know they would appreciate hearing from you. Maybe we can get the park service off of square one and finally get some answers. Thank you for your support.
