This is a recreation of an Anasazi great kiva. It was carefully modelled after the real life reconstructed kiva at the Aztec Ruins National Monument in north-western New Mexico.
Great kivas are circular, semi-subterrean buildings unique to the ancient Anasazi culture. Scientists belive that these structures were used for communal activities including feasts and religious ceremonies.
Most great kivas were very precisely aligned along a north-to-south axis. The fire pit and ventilation shaft defined the axis about which the other elements in the kiva were aligned, such as benches or even roof posts.
This building comes with a walkable sculpted ladder and a realistic scripted fireplace. The whole structire is sold as copy, mod, no-trans. The only exception being the fireplace, which is sold as copy, no-mod, no-trans. It consists of both phantom and non-phantom prims.
The roof log structure was sculpted to faithfully model the design used by ancient Anasazi. It features collision that allows the avatars to enter the kiva both through the door as well as through the ventilation shaft in the roof.
The footprint is 19x19 meters, though the roof posts extending outsid ethe outer wall reach 22x22 meters. As a real Kiva, this structure is designed to be semi-subterrean - best used as half-submerged into terrain.
Enjoy!
