Have you heard of the
ancient Anasazi Indian tribe?
For decades,
archaeologists and historians have been fascinated by the Anasazi tribe, which
inhabited the southwestern region of the United StatesDuring the 6th and 13th
centuries, the tribe of about eight thousand people, which dominated the area,
mysteriously disappeared leaving little trace.
"Contemporary
Navajos give the ancient city-building people the name "Anasazi."
Anasazi means "the Ancestors" or "the old enemies" in the
Navajo languages.
Anasazi were known for
their complex architecture and their ability to grow crops in arid regions.
Constructions included large cave dwellings and buildings made of stone and
clay.
However, despite these
accomplishments, the Anasazi abandoned their homes and territories in the 13th
century, leaving only ruins and few artifacts. There is an intense debate among
specialists about the cause of their disappearance.
Some people think that
the tribe was forced to leave the area because of a long drought and a lack of
natural resources. Some people believe that internal conflicts or conflict with
neighboring tribes may have been the cause. Some people even speculate that the
tribe was the victim of a natural disaster, such as an earthquake.
Other ancient peoples,
like the Incas, Aztecs and Mayans, went extinct quickly, and there are still
different theories about when they disappeared. Why are so many different tribes
missing?
Was there divine
intervention?
Although uncertain, the
Anasazi have left a lasting legacy in the culture and history of the American
Southwest. To this day, its artifacts, buildings, and mysteries continue to
intrigue and fascinate. The shamans believed that these dwellings had greater
energy, and there was a hole in the ceiling through which sunlight entered,
projecting a ray of light onto the wall where a spiral was drawn. Furthermore,
they constructed over 300 km of roads.
Richard Wetherill, one of
the first explorers who visited the place, said he was surprised that there
were no signs of battles or any epidemics, and several personal objects were
still in the rooms. What happened to an advanced civilization, for its time,
that disappeared so suddenly and without a trace?
