Oh Lanny - if only.

But now that I have your attention ... Here's a clue...

It is 1 of 8 UNESCO World Heritage sites in the country it's located in and a window on the world as it was more than 3 million years ago.

And since you're a music connoisseur - there's a clue in the lullaby, 'Rock A Bye Baby'

Is it the Sterkfontein cave system in South Africa, located in the area called the cradle of humankind?

It's Bandelier National Monument, near Los Alamos, New Mexico. Here's me visiting in 1974:

Here's another view:

It was a major population center, between the 12th and 17th centuries, of the ancestors of the area's modern Pueblo people.

Someone else pick the next one, as I won't be back until tomorrow.
