I’d still like to know why the Anasazi built their settlements largely in caves. The crops were overhead, and the water was way down below.

I guess that made them fairly hard to attack, but what a hassle. And there really isn’t any evidence of hostile neighbors.

There's a little...Aztec, enough for some to speculate about a possible clash of cultures.
