Mesa Verde: The Ancient Cliff Cities Built into a vertical cliff 1,000 feet high, Mesa Verde was a masterpiece of survival engineering. Why did the Ancestral Puebloans leave the valley to live in the cliffs?👇🏛️🦅

Human feces in the SW from that time period contained human fat. These people were hiding in cliffs because it was terrifying out there beyond the safety of the village. For 200 years people were eating people to survive, the smart ones were hiding high up in the cliffs.

Im still a firm believer that their homes were NOT built 1000 feet off the canyon floor, but instead a couplee feet above the water line.

The water level came up to Mesa Verde when they built there.

They went to the cliffs because of the incredible violence across the region

For defense in the AD 1200s This is well documented and established

bet the back of the structure faces west! 😏

Mesa Verde khiến người ta kinh ngạc trước tài thích nghi và kiến tạo những cộng đồng giữa vách đá của người Pueblo cổ.

They didn’t leave the valley, they lived on top of the mesas and moved down into the cliffs. They did this to be in more defensible position and protect their source of water.

The Ai vid is pretty bad not gonna lie.

Mesa Verde wurde etwa 400 n. Chr. erbaut...

Likely for defense, shelter, and access to reliable water sources during challenging times

to scape floodings below them on the valley...

Water levels.

Hallucinant

The inaccurate ai video is a bummer.

Ancestral memories of frequent flooding..

climate change is a hoax.

Pre-Columbian America was a place of such peace and harmony with nature that it created such much wealth and surplus that ordinary people could enjoy penthouses in the sky.

Bezpieczeństwo

Dinosaurs made them move.

Porque el agua estaba a ese nivel?
