Notice the rooftop entrances? That was also the smoke hole, but the overall aspect on approach is a walled city (about 33 acres if memory serves), and so far no sign of a main gate (the 'streets' are the rooftops).

Had to look at one of your links - this site is in Turkey. I don’t know, but the volcanic ash dated about the same time as the mural, along with the proximity of the similar shaped twin peaks of the mountains, it seems plausible to me.

The orange color of the mountains might be due to the recent deposits - or perhaps indicating fire? Or - how about red mountains from the sun shining through the ash in the sky? (Posting from smokey Seattle, with ash falling on everything at the moment, and a VERY red sky!)

The town plan is very different, but the construction reminds me of Chaco. Different materials, of course.
