A thousand years ago, in the remote canyons, desert expanses, and mountain retreats of the Southwest, the most advanced civilization north of the Aztec Empire thrived. Many thousands of The Ancient Ones built elaborate stone cites, often as many as five stories high and meticulously engineered. Their settlements dotted a large portion of what are now New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado. They connected the parts of their sprawling domain with elaborate roadways. They grew crops and worshiped their gods and carved their pictures into the canyon walls. Then, suddenly they abandoned their homes and their kivas, and the fields of maize, beans and squash. They disappeared! With no written record left behind, one can only speculate as to why these people left their settlements. This book is a possible scenario, told by someone who was there and saw it happen.
