About this listen

Greatest Mystery of the Southwest USA

Perhaps the most fascinating chapter in Southwest history is the tale of the mysterious, “vanished” Anasazi Indians. Their tremendous achievements can be found in many places, including the spectacular cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde National Park. But the crest of the Anasazi wave was in Chaco Canyon, a shallow, windswept wash in northwest New Mexico. Here, 1,000 years ago, strange and unexplained events unfolded, events which continue to intrigue scientists and visitors today.

In this book, you'll delve into the mystery:
  • Why choose inhospitable Chaco Canyon to settle?
  • Why did the Anasazi build, then abandon Chaco Canyon?
  • The "Great Houses", how, and why were they built?
  • The mystery of Room 33 in Pueblo Bonito. Turquoise Treasure.
  • Macaw skeletons and Chocolate found in Chaco?
  • Kivas and Great Kivas
  • The Supernova panel: Haley's Comet? Crab Nebula?
  • The Incredible Chaco Road System, never used?
  • Threatening rock
  • Mounds of Broken Pottery
  • Tracking Sun and Moon cycles with "The Sun Dagger"
  • Why so few burials in Chaco?
  • Architectural alignment with Sun and Moon
  • Did the Anasazi use the wheel?
  • Petroglyphs and Pictographs
  • And even more mysteries.......

This book is a great choice for anyone interested in history, the Southwest USA, or Native American studies.

Ancient world

Overall great information throughout this book. The narration of the book would be a lot better if it was done by a human not AI.

Missing words

The AI that read the book kept missing words and has absolutely no emotion as well as mispronunciations. The book itself or the story was great.
