I think the Kivas are mostly in the ground because of the people’s origin stories. They came to this world from another level below this, and out from a hole in the ground called a Sipapu. There is a Sipapu in every Kiva, symbolic of that original portal. I think the whole Kiva is symbolic of the original hole, and also why they enter and leave through a hole in the roof.

The Sipapu is accurate, the reasons are just my guess. And now that I have written this, you probably have already learned it from about 100 other readers. Anyway, thanks for the blog and your descriptions of your pueblo visit.
