Acerca de esta escucha

In this landmark work on the Anasazi tribes of the Southwest, naturalist Craig Childs dives head-on into the mysteries of this vanished people.

The various tribes that made up the Anasazi people converged on Chaco Canyon (New Mexico) during the 11th century to create a civilization hailed as "the Las Vegas of its day", a flourishing cultural center that attracted pilgrims from far and wide, and a vital crossroads of the prehistoric world. By the 13th century, however, Chaco's vibrant community had disappeared without a trace.

Was it drought? Pestilence? War? Forced migration, mass murder, or suicide? Conflicting theories have abounded for years, capturing the North American imagination for eons.

Join Craig Childs as he draws on the latest scholarly research, as well as a lifetime of exploration in the forbidden landscapes of the American Southwest, to shed new light on this compelling mystery. He takes us from Chaco Canyon to the highlands of Mesa Verde, to the Mongollon Rim; to a contemporary Zuni community where tribal elders maintain silence about the fate of their Lost Others; and to the largely unexplored foothills of the Sierra Madre in Mexico, where abundant remnants of Anasazi culture lie yet to be uncovered.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A look way, way back

I loved this.  Craig Childs writes about the history of the ancient American SW peoples with compassion and care, distilling ideas into a first person narrative of his exploration of landscapes and concepts.  This wasn't a quick listen for me and I took my time mulling over ideas, time-lines, and competing schools of thought.  I enjoyed his narration and thought it matched his writing style, in some places nearly poetry.  Thanks for this.

Adventure and insight

A contemporary adventure story focused on ancient and prehistoric history previously unknown to me. My understanding of the American southwest has been immeasurably expanded. I loved the Tony Hillerman books with their insights into the Navajo culture and religion. This narrative nonfiction offers the best of storytelling for me.

Tlaloctlan

The Southwest part is excellent. The associations with some parts of Mesoamerica are a bit speculative.

Great true stories! So much knowledge shared! Thank you!

I like Craig’s style, he is one of a kind. This is a great primmer for Ancestral Pueblo history. Well researched and as accurate as can be from a perspective of the outside looking in.
