Twenty five years drought according to an old National Geographic magazine.
The law of diminishing returns shows they ate each other till no one was left to eat the last one who fell victim to a coyote. ;-D
Damn! Another broadside against the Phoenix housing market!
Or killing them in war. There are far more cases of wars wiping out people than their neighbors over-eating them. But academia doesn't like to consider that we evolved on the battlefield. They strongly prefer the idea we came from hippie communes.
perhaps, it was for emotional or psychic reasons, or even because of a series of dreams.
Say's it all, I think.
Oddly, there has been no DNA comparison between Zunis and the Japanese.
The southwest never recovered and is still a desert. The fact cities presently exist there is because of massive efforts to divert water from everywhere it can be found.
Growth can not be sustained because there is inadequate water.
They are still there. Oraibi, the oldest continuously occupied place in America is on the Hopi Mesa. The Hopi are the Anasazi.
A trip and overnite stay in Chaco should be on everyone’s list as should be a trip to the Hopi Mesas.
See this... this is Saaaaaaannnnnnnndddddddd. Nothing grows in Saaaannnnnndddddd. YOU LIVE IN A F-ING DESERT!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

This?
Once upon a time there was a Dust Bowl. Oklahomans, be worried, be very worried.
“...The Anasazi probably just moved on to better pastures and became some other tribe which we do know, like Navajo or Apaches..........”
Hopi, Zuni, and a couple of others, but not Navajo or Apache.
The Navajo migrated down from what is now Alberta, in the 1300’s....long after the Anasazi had vanished.
By the way, “Anasazi” is a Navajo word, and the Hopi, who consider themselves descendants of the “Anasazi”, don’t like the word, as it translates into something like “enemy people”. They consider “Anasazi” to be an insult.
“I have often imagined the streets of Tucson or Phoenix as abandoned, and it’s a bit scary,” she says. “You think that the place that’s the center of your region, the biggest city around, could never crumble and fall, and here it has.”
I live in Phoenix.
Our water comes from huge aquifers, which the Chaco dwellers never built. Some comes from the Colorado.
The parallels are... minimal.
BTW, our tent was blown down and ripped by a violent thunderstorm in the middle of the drought.
Well, maybe you were camped on some ancient sacred gravesite. ;’)
