At 7,200 feet, under the majesty of The Taos Mountain, stands a true relic of earthen architecture, The Taos Pueblo. Ancient ruins in the Taos Valley indicate the Taos Indians lived there nearly 1000 years ago. The main part of the present buildings were constructed between 1000 and 1450 A.D. These buildings are said to be the oldest continuously inhabited earthen buildings in the United States.

This natural building cob teaser video is pretty neat! I don’t agree with the 3 parts clay to 1 part sand though… I think it should be the other way around.
