Lol who says the Anasazi vanished? The Hopi tribe is the descendents of the Anaszis Fact!
I am guessing some sort of earthquake caused the water source to dry out…..
They were built by the Clovis culturethat was wiped out from the melting of the Ice Age followed by a thousand year drought. The Anasazi found them and moved in the Anasazi even stay till themselves yet we credit them with it anyway.
That old native is in denial. There are so many of them living in and around that area that they couldn't just migrate those are permanent settlements they weren't migrating and leaving
I've watched a couple of these shows today. I laugh every time I see him rappelling and climbing in those sandals. Not what I would really consider appropriate footwear. There's also a nice lack of helmets too. Not really great on the safety front.
Isn't it possible that the waters from the flood 4000 years ago were still high up and hadn't receded yet leaving the Anasazi Indians reach the higher cliffs with much ease?
The Bible talks about giants 12-14 feet tall! Goliath & his men were descendants of giants from those before the flood! Soon excavators will find remains of those if they haven't already and of course that information is hush hush, " don't want to upset the science kart with its evolutionary theories!" now would we!!!
Whatever happened to spoken word of mouth?
Drought and overpopulation 🤦🏻🗯
Imagine Giants!!!!
Cannibals
Monsters.
No answers on this civilization..then this documentary SUCKS
giants?
The Zuni know what happened.
I think Chaco Canyon and the cliff dwellings were defensive measures to flee to when the giants come roving through the territory. The giants were roving bands of carnivores, and the natives were like herds of cattle to them. Finally, the native tribes banded together to hunt down the intruders.
Yes, it's a Navajo word. Means enemy who fell.
Every civilization that began practicing cannibalism have shortly thereafter died, and disappeared from existence.
They probably just boat right up to it..
No problem..
If you have to live on the side of a cliff, you've made enemies of the people on the ground.
Food is food! Crazy they eat humans but we are food.
I always wonder how in the world you could raise kids up that high. There must have been many accidents.
Inbreeding cases many many problems. And not knowing the reasons for the problems would lead to all kinds of spiritual problems. Even insanity. Severe desperation undoubtedly…likely the biggest enemy was infighting amongst them selves. I wonder if you van see the 11 year sunspot cycle in the tree rings. I have looked in 120 year old trees in the Midwest and there is definitely an 11 year pattern. Mostly in color. In the end I believe migration has caused catastrophe all thru history..
Political, religious, and lack of resources. It upsets the order of living.
To me, tribal conflict sounds likely
The more you think you know
The more Mysterious everything becomes. ✨️
I think some kind of reptilike thing was chasing them.
It came up from the underworld through the sipupa.
Look up: SI TE CAH
There were giant's in those days
They fled because of giants they had an appetite for humans they came in through port hole.
I think they were rescued by the watcher aliens from outer space, … it would be very interesting to see how they evolved, as the planet can be, & has been a dangerous place to try, & survive, …
Chupacabra!
I believe the reason they built their homes up in the cliffs was for protection against other tribes who would come and kill them and steal their crops. Perhaps the reason they left so abruptly was that their enemies became to numerous. Most of the cliff dwellings had graineries built near by to store their food.
