There are some parts of the world’s past that remain unexplained today. For example, we do not really know why Stonehenge was created, who created the head statues on Easter Island, or how exactly the Egyptians built the pyramids. Such mysteries also exist in what is today the United States.
Perhaps the most puzzling mystery of all is found in a few locations in Colorado and New Mexico. These places have rock dwellings made by the Anasazi. The Anasazi were a Native American tribe that no longer exists.
The Anasazi People
The name “Anasazi” means “ancient ones.” It was a name given to the tribe long after it disappeared. The name was assigned by their Puebloan descendants (people who are related to them by a blood or cultural relationship). Not much else is known about the Anasazi people today. We know they disappeared sometime around 1300 CE. We know also they were replaced by the Puebloan tribes, such as the Zuni, the Taos, the Acoma, and the Hopi. We also know that they left behind very little. There are few writings and drawings.
What is left of the Anasazi is a series of houses carved into cliffs. The tribe apparently carved individual homes into the face of rocks. This is not uncommon. What is uncommon is that they carved them up the cliff, not just at its base. The units are stacked on top of each other like apartments!
More Questions, Fewer Answers
In today’s world, this would be no big deal. Space is limited, and because of that, we build things vertically. But a thousand years ago, humans could spread out. There must be some other reason the Anasazi built up. Were they trying to keep an enemy out? Or did they build up to hide from the sun? Or was it for some religious significance? And how did they carve into cliffs so high off the ground?
Historians today now only know that the Anasazi left their cliff dwellings over the course of a hundred years. Researchers think they left to join with other tribes either because of war, starvation, drought, or something else. Today, there are more mysteries than known information about the tribe and the cliff dwellings. We do not know why or how the dwellings were made. And we know even less about why exactly the Anasazi left them to history.
