The Sun Dagger (Home Video Version)
For Personal Use Only

The astonishing discovery of an ancient celestial calendar in Chaco Canyon, NM.

58 minutes
Directed by Anna Sofaer
Produced by The Solstice Project
Narrated by Robert Redford

This classic, timeless film documents the extraordinary celestial calendar created by ancient North American Indians, and rediscovered by artist Anna Soafer, high on a butte in New Mexico.

The "dagger" is presently the only known site in the world that marks the extreme positions of both the sun and moon.

The film explores the complex culture of the Anasazi Indians who constructed the calendar, and thrived both spiritually and materially in the harsh environment of Chaco Canyon a thousand years ago.
