Greatest Mystery of the Southwest USA
Perhaps the most fascinating chapter in Southwest history is the tale of the mysterious, “vanished” Anasazi Indians. Their tremendous achievements can be found in many places, including the spectacular cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde National Park. But the crest of the Anasazi wave was in Chaco Canyon, a shallow, windswept wash in northwest New Mexico. Here, 1,000 years ago, strange and unexplained events unfolded, events which continue to intrigue scientists and visitors today.In this book, you'll delve into the mystery:
- Why choose inhospitable Chaco Canyon to settle?
- Why did the Anasazi build, then abandon Chaco Canyon?
- The "Great Houses", how, and why were they built?
- The mystery of Room 33 in Pueblo Bonito. Turquoise Treasure.
- Macaw skeletons and Chocolate found in Chaco?
- Kivas and Great Kivas
- The Supernova panel: Haley's Comet? Crab Nebula?
- The Incredible Chaco Road System, never used?
- Threatening rock
- Mounds of Broken Pottery
- Tracking Sun and Moon cycles with "The Sun Dagger"
- Why so few burials in Chaco?
- Architectural alignment with Sun and Moon
- Did the Anasazi use the wheel?
- Petroglyphs and Pictographs
- And even more mysteries.......
This book is a great choice for anyone interested in history, the Southwest USA, or Native American studies.

David Roberts describes the culture of the Anasazi - the name means "enemy ancestors" in Navajo - who once inhabited the Colorado Plateau and whose modern descendants are the Hopi Indians of Arizona. Archaeologists, Roberts writes, have been puzzling over the Anasazi for more than a century, trying to determine the environmental and cultural stresses that caused their society to collapse 700 years ago. He guides us through controversies in the historical record, among them the haunting question of whether the Anasazi committed acts of cannibalism.

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.

J. M. Adovasio has spent the last thirty years at the center of one of our most fiery scientific debates: Who were the first humans in the Americas, and how and when did they get there? At its heart, The First Americans is the story of the revolution in thinking that Adovasio and his fellow archaeologists have brought about, and the firestorm it has ignited.

In 1963 Colin Fletcher became the first man to walk the length of Grand canyon, below the Rim. It began with a dream, when he and a friend detoured from a cross-country trip to take a hurried look at the great natural wonder. Standing on the Rim, surrounded by the profound and almost mystical silence, Fletcher knew that something had happened to the way he looked at things. He also knew that the Canyon, with its depths and distances, cliffs, buttes, and hanging terraces, beckoned to him, calling him on a journey that would challenge both his body and his mind.

In this thrilling story of intellectual and archaeological discovery, David Roberts recounts his last 20 years of far-flung exploits in search of spectacular prehistoric ruins and rock art panels known to very few modern travelers. His adventures range across Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and southwestern Colorado, and illuminate the mysteries of the Ancestral Puebloans and their contemporary neighbors the Mogollon and Fremont, as well as of the more recent Navajo and Comanche.

Overall great information throughout this book. The narration of the book would be a lot better if it was done by a human not AI.

Missing words
The AI that read the book kept missing words and has absolutely no emotion as well as mispronunciations. The book itself or the story was great.
