They didn't need to have a written language. They knew everything they needed to know. No need to write anything when you already know it in your heart.

Those structures had roofs and probably looked real nice in their prime

I heard about chaco canyon in the early 70's in Viet Nam from a native American soldier that his great, great, great grandmother told his grandma that at one time in the not so distant past The mayans came north to hide their gold from the spanish in the area

The native Americans knew it was there.It's not discovered.

No mention of all the astronomical alignments in a vid about Chaco Canyon? This "city" was used as an observatory of heavenly bodies. Encoded in the structures are certain moon cycles that took hundreds of years of observation to discover. The people who designed and built this complex were adept at astronomy and mathematics. I have been drawn to this site since I was a child learning about the people from "prehistoric" period in the Americas.

Soldier??? Is that a new term for thieves and plunderers

This place is absolutely amazing I have been there twice and will go back

Could you imagine being the poor fool in charge of counting 50,000,000 stones?

Exactly! Thanks for sharing this video.

Very interesting. I like the idea of these lost cities. I hope we can still see these. Very nice.

I stopped at 0:30 . He said governor of New Mexico in 1820.

now its threatened by oil drilling companies ….

Perhaps we should learn to say "came across" or "found" instead of discovery when referring to anything historically man made as someone would of had to have been there before.

What happen to the 60,000 relic found????

Shows that North American Amerindians like the Anasazi/Pueblo And Cahokian had great civilizations

Why chinese music to this docu? Wouldn't be native american music be more proper? Does everything have to be dishonored? Any respect at all?

Our "narrator" loves using the word "Indeed". Also "moreover" It gets to be rather funny.

So Wikipedia says " It was named Nuevo México after the Aztec Valley of Mexico by Spanish settlers, 223 years before the establishment of the present-day country of Mexico. The present-day state of New Mexico was not named after, nor is it a part of, Mexico. Its geographic characteristics made settlement and effective political control difficult which prompted Mexico's invasion and control of the area from 1824 to 1846.". Ok back to listen to the rest.

Very interesting...this would be well worth trying to get more information on this...and any other interesting sites throughout the country...hmmm❗️

It's time to rewrite American History books! are they one of the lost 12 tribes?

Mothers by nature were to help their children to understand their strengths and their potential with great respect for each other’s as humankind in differences should succeed with humanity through their life journey as a human kind!!!

Ancient river bed! Great show!

Sounds to me, like a lot of people read old old books and really don't know any thing!! Trash it and go back to the elders stick to what you know not what u read?

So just how in hell does someone lose a city?

Where are the relics and all the historical finds that they found??

That's some interesting information

Why the music? I could not hear you for it. Why that kind of music? Wouldn't a soft drum be better? No music please. Chirp

y'all do know that they're are just guessing what this place was, they don't have a clue

it's not important who dug it. what matter's is (who 💘 loves it.

No doorways look more like factory places

And before the Native Americans there was probably glaciers covering North America.

No the war was with Navajo who were Athabaskan people unrelated to the Anasazi. Anasazi in fact is a Navajo word that translates ‘ old enemy’. The Navajo had no respect for the dead either, digging sites to find turquoise.

Southeast asian music. In native american west. Strange mix

What a marvelous culture too bad they didn't write. It would be wonderful to learn more.

This should be up there with the pyramids in history OMG unreal Fab.Bet there are tunnels and dwellings under ground.Bet last pole shift flooded them out !

dude, this is cool, nice asian music in the background

I have a problem with DNA results. So far everything I have been reading the Archeologists find very few remains if any of the Anasazi people. So how do they relate all the rulers are related to one women? Two good books to read on the Anasazi are In Search Of The Old Ones and The Lost World Of The Old Ones. Both written by David Roberts read in the same order I listed them. Both well written with a whole lot more understanding of the archaeology and the arguments, or so called educated guesses.

no WiFi found here?

------a town not a city.

For more than 12 thousand years, native Americans had waited for Columbus to finally come and discover us. 80 to 90 million natives dies in the next 75 to 80 years. Manifest destiny it's been called.

It's in the middle of a desert. Why would all those people live there ? What about ample food and water.............

Why they fighting indians?

How did he discover it was it invisible to the Native Americans

He means hunting native Americans

Without DNA I would not have discovered my Native American ancestry and that is previous to me. Perhaps you would not have discovered your prescious sasquatch either. Tee hee hee.

LMAO

Also how old is this place when there is primitive pictures and handprints painted on these. Those obviously came long after

You sounded surprised by saying the women were the heads of the house hold. I was told that was the way it was until the white man came and, as usual, messed it up.

Amazing people

Ok! So the place have been victim, for the same, unserious gang, that means we are likely to been robbed for something's, there too.

Come now folks no Adobe no Teepees but real stone buildings most certainly our native ancestors didn't build this. Oh and K C even if they were grain silos I have yet to see a silo that wasn't in a town nor have I seen Silo's that cover almost 10 miles of an area and I have driven a lot of miles between Texas and the West Coast

Shouldn't it that he was fighting Native-Mexicans.

Not new ~ my people already know of this ~ why tell lies

Making piles of blocks that are ancient grain silos a civilization makes.

Why the hell did the Indians ditch masonry to live in teepees? Makes no sense.

The Mormons stole all of the artifacts from that sight, and the white man stole it in the name of god.

So no one knows the actual name. And the actual name was in a non-Spanish language, probably a dead language. Societies can become great, then decay, and if not recovered, then die (cease to exist).

The soundtrack was very distracting. I kept thinking of other stuff about the Orient as opposed to this N American discovery.

Chaco canyon aint that great its a long walk in high heat just to see mud bricks

Asian music? Odd choice.

THIS is our land. STOP deeping up our land. Are we will deep you. It's ours

They are the original criminal now with advanced technology ; when is the Galactic Federation of Heaven going to stop being soft on criminals in power.

good video it is just that it is all written by the evil man in charge of writing their own version

Cutting down 5000 trees, sounds like a bad idea?

Al Gore discovered Chaco Canyon! 😉

Piling blocks on top of blocks do not an advanced civilization make.

The EU UN must be disbanded for Europe to keep it's European cultural identity and have peaceful future.

They weren't Americans!!!

Were these people cannibals?

I would just like to point out to all the "pro native American Indian" people out there that the current "native" people of America were not the first inhabitants of America. they only arrived about 10,000 years ago after the ice cleared from the bearing straits. before that the entire population of north America were black Africans. The existing population of black native American were systematically hunted and exterminated by the newly arriving Asian population using their superior weapons. this has been proven without any doubt by archeology, paleontology and DNA testing. there is no room left for doubt about it. Before 10,000 years ago ALL the remains found are black African native American. After 10,000 years ago ALL the remains are Asian native American. So as far as anyone can tell, the REAL Native Americans were black Africans. The Asian Americans got the land in exactly the same way that the later white Americans got it. they killed all those who people who were already living there. Also there is no such thing as "the White man" and there never was. There are English, Irish, Scottish, Spanish, French, Italians, Russians, Greeks, Swiss, Turkish, Germans, Egyptians, Finnish, Norwegian, Dutch. and they range in color from dark brown with black hair to very pale pink with blond hair. All of those types have very different and distinct cultures. that's one reason why the Asian native Americans lost. They never had any kind of idea who they were trying to fight. So they lumped everyone together as "the white man" When seen in a proper historical context, it is really "the white man" who has enabled the re-colonization of the Americas by it's original racial inhabitants... Black Africans. And yes, they could have done it in a much better way than they did.Racial exodus is very often a cruel thing. As usual, your kind of racism is unfounded in any real fact.

That's odd, there's solid proof that Europeans were the first people of North America some 16000 years ago long before any Indian tribes.
