Pueblo Bonito, a remarkable site established by the Chaco culture in Northern New Mexico, traces its origins back to approximately 828 AD. It features the largest Kiva known, boasting a diameter exceeding 20 meters (66 feet). Originally, these Kivas were topped with log roofs, though most have now decayed over time. In contrast to Göbekli Tepe, which is characterized by its use of stone pillars, Pueblo Bonito relied on logs for its structural integrity.
