Celestial Light Marker: An Engineered Calendar on a Topographically Spectacular Geoscape

Humans have been monitoring light from the solar system to tell the time and plan activities since Time Immemorial. This is an analysis regarding why Native Americans living in the upper Colorado River Basin chose to monitor light from the western sky using a light marker that is approximately 4.02 miles long and 2.07 miles wide or approximately 12.7 square miles. The light catching is accomplished in a massive geoscape by a carefully calibrated engineered stone markers. The scale of this light marker and its functional topographic components makes it one of the biggest and most elaborate in North America. As such it is a World Balancing geosiste. The analysis is based on 522 ethnographic interviews with 316 conducted during the Canyonlands National Park (Canyonlands NP) ethnographic study and 206 during the two BLM Ethnographic studies. The findings are situated in ethnographic understands from more than a dozen other studies conducted by the authors.
