*This is the fifth in a six video series from a trip to New Mexico (I know... this is in Colorado) in September of 2022. Destinations include Aztec Ruins, Bisti Badlands (Alien Egg Hatchery), Valley of Dreams (Alien Throne), Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde and Ship Rock. It was a great trip and we saw some really cool stuff - Milky Way photography was one of our main objectives and we had success in all the locations we visited. Links to the other videos will appear in the end screen, or just hit my "New Mexico" playlist.*
We were enthralled with our visit to Mesa Verde! Thanks for bringing us along on this video tour, we weren’t able to do one when we went. Do you agree with the popular view that they lived there because of other marauding tribes? I thought that was hard to imagine from such skilled wall builders..…seems like extreme measures to me…
I appreciate you watching and commenting, Andrea. I don't think I had heard the theory that they moved down into the canyons because of other marauding tribes, I always suspected it was for better protection from the elements. But that is an interesting idea.
There was some internal social conflict . dwindling rescores , religious system collapse ,and a 40 year drought brought civil unrest . Trading pottery and other goods as far as the gulf of Mexico may have also brought some aggressive outsiders to the area to take advantage of these folks during there hardship times between 1250 and 1300 AD
