Evidence that an ancient Pueblo site was built out of “golden rectangles”

A millennium ago, the Pueblo peoples were constructing incredible
monuments and cities throughout the US Southwest. Among the most
impressive structures they left behind is called the Sun Temple, in what
is now Colorado's Mesa Verde National Park.
Probably the location for meetings and ceremonies, the Sun Temple is an
enormous D-shaped building with walls that were once 11-15 feet high.
Now, an applied mathematician has discovered something intriguing about
the proportions used to lay out the temple and its internal structures.
