WHERE IS THIS?

where is this? Inner Passage

With more than 800 archaeological sites, this location is Arizona's Egypt. One philosopher compared its antiquarian ambience to that of the Nile Valley, while another heralded it as the most sacred place on Earth. The area is rife with mythology, and though you won't find sphinxes, there is talk of Spider Woman. Unfortunately, this gorgeous setting's past is blotted with massacre, imprisonment and famine. Still, its people live on today, continuing 2,000 years of rich history.
