| Aztec Ruins National Monument, located in northwestern New Mexico, was misattributed to the Aztecs by 19th century pioneers. |
 |
| The site was actually built by Ancestral Puebloans in the 12th and 13th centuries. |
 |
| The stonemasons that built the Aztec Ruins also built the massive structures at Chaco Canyon nearby. |
 |
| Aztec Ruins also has influences of Mesa Verde architecture; it is unclear if this is due to trade or migration. |
 |
| Aztec Ruins was also abandoned around 1300. |
