From what I know of the Anasazi, the cliff and hilltop structures were all built over a pretty narrow time frame, remained for a number of decades, and then were all abandoned around the same general period. That, to me, given how difficult some of these are to access and how difficult it would have been to get provisions up to them, suggests that they were constructed out of necessity. There are a certain number of them that even appeared to have been created as watch posts. So raiding nomadic invaders, or a prolonged period of warfare (not a single conflict, but conflict after conflict) is quite possible. A number of these dwelling show signs that they were burned and, in some cases, there are different layers. Recall also that during the later era, there was the eruption of the "Sunset Crater" volcano, so who knows what role the geological history of the area came into play as well. With no written record, there's just no way to know what really happened and all we can do is speculate.

When the Spanish came to Mexico several times in the 1400-1500s, the Mayans already had a history with the Spanish soldiers and when it was clear it was going to happen again they all disappeared into the jungle. We went to the Yucatan last year for wedding, and visited with the Mayans, Chitzenita(?), and swam in the Cenotes. It was a brutal but very amazing trip to be sure. :)

The last free Mayan city didn't actually fall until 1697!!! Yeah, their king got the stupid idea that he could befriend the Spanish and invited a few over to his hidden city. Huge mistake. Those are the same Mayans you are talking about that fled, actually conquering them took a very long time. It certainly wasn't a city as massive as El Mirador but a smaller, still pretty populated city on an island in a lake. It was called "Nojpetén".
@williamwolf2844
@williamwolf2844 3 дня назад
The Maya did not disappear into the jungle. In the 16th century, they fought the Spanish, longer and more successfully than any other native people. Did. The so-called Maya collapse happened about 800 years before this and affected mostly only the cities in the southern Maya area. Not so much the countryside in the South, and neither of the cities nor the countryside up North.
@loke6664
@loke6664 3 дня назад
@@williamwolf2844 Well, they did disappear into the jungle many times since the Spanish was unwilling to go after them there so I don't think he is totally wrong. They were fighting a guerrilla war after all. But you are certainly right that they were the most successful in fighting back, that didn't end until 1697 (see my earlier post in the thread). And yeah, we seen a few cases of Maya people revolting in modern times too. The Mayas did have a habit to leave their cities and found new ones, the Mayan collapse was more or less the time we know of that most of the cities did this. But we see it earlier too. El Mirador and many cities were also abandoned earlier and we still don't exactly know why. In the collapse, it seems to have been more religious and/or social reasons then anything else. With El Mirador, it might just be that they used up the natural resources since it was such a massive city but that is just speculation and we know that wasn't the case during the later collapse. We are finding out more and more about them though, 30 years ago we thought the pre classic Maya were rather primitive but El Mirador was one of the largest cities in the world 2500 years ago and it wasn't the only one either, just the one we have excavated most so far from the period (and we have barely scratched the surface). It is a very fascinating culture. :)

iirc, scientists say that, for a culture to continue, mind you, not expand or anything, JUST to continue to exist, you need each couple (1 man and 1 woman) to have 2.3 babies on average. With 2.3 babies on average your culture will continue to exist, but it won't grow. This is the minimum possible. Anything below 2.3 babies = the culture / population slowly dying out. And ofc, if you want growth, you need more than 2.3 babies per family.

Ive heard a theory (theory is loose word really, more ive heard some people talking) that the reason there is such a density of fruit bearing and flowering trees in the amazon compared to other tropical jungles in the world, might be because there was civilization several thousand years ago that like to keep gardens, and when they dissappeared or died out, their gardens just grew outta control.
@YoungLakesMischa
@YoungLakesMischa День назад
Not disappeared or died out, they were murdered, killed, and allowed to die after both biological and then physical warfare. Please be accurate with the indigenous areas of the Amazon because they were part of the intentional genocide and biological warfare via spead of disease. The hypothesis of fruit trees being intentional spread has been gaining more and more evidence. It's fantastic reading, highly recommend looking into the recent findings of the agricultural and arboreal advancements of the Amazon.

Re the Minoans, the eruption/tsunami could have done enough damage to reduce trade/create difficulties, without leading to full scale destruction. Just sea water inundation could have ruined crops, damaged harbours, killed livestock, without washing away buildings/temples. Even just the consideration that they had displeased the "gods", could have turned society on its head. They were still around hundreds of years later, but may not have been a strong society anymore. Knossos sits 100 meters above sea level, so it would have taken one hell of a wave to reach it. But the large fertile plain beneath it and the port was in direct line with a Santorini eruption tsunami wave.

All these "vanished" civilizations brings to my mind the term: the veneer of civilization. Any major change, be it rapid or slow, that affects the food supply system of any organized and populous group of people can and often does bring about the collapse of that group. We, who have lived comfortably fed, have lost the knowledge of how thin the veneer actually is. Once that veneer is striped away so does the sense of community that the people had evaporate. It is a lesson worth remembering.

We know what ended it - small pox, the plague, influenza, gonorrhea, syphilis, the whole suite of Eurasian diseases. *How many languages were lost?* Given the astonishing diversity of Native American languges (35 language families and 17 isolates in California alone), the number is likey to have been quite large. It's a further tragedy that this civilization was preliterate. A whole slice of human history is just gone _like tears in rain._

All of their incredible bronze artwork was buried in pits and I do mean incredible. A lot of it looks very Chinese with its own unique flairs but there's also a lot of aspects to their style that feels like stuff you see later in the Americas.

Khmers perished because of The Black Plague I believe. Drougt or severe rainfall seams less devastating. Also nothing stops all 3 reasons could cooperate in the downfall. Write of Amazonians on small-pox as well.

Could the Sea People just be climate refugee Minoans? They would certainly need to be sea faring given their origin.

Could be - certainly Aegean groups are considered as a possibility. Also Anatolians (from modern day Turkey) are another possibility. I do love that the only reference is 'the sea peoples', which suggests previously unknown parties.

Just wanted to say that we've found 3000bc items and civilazaions here in Norway recently. In fact we've found evidence of people living here 7500-6000bc. Just after the scandinavian peninsula ice age. So crete was not that early as a european civilazations as first thought. Sad truth is that christians burned down a lot of our herritage around 1000-1500.

The dismissal of volcanologists is the bane of modern archaeology,which uses assumptions,or rough measurement tools,that often are also useless when an event like senatorini super volcano eruption or eruptions perhaps happen. A good volcanologists can date according to ash layers with less than a century margin of error, also knowing where the ash came for, and the level,or destruction that has happened. Even though he will test ,at this instance as some have, ash found in farmlands over in Egypt. Not Crete.

“Anasazi” is Navajo for “ancient enemies.” Modern Puebloans consider the term to be offensive.

Minoan eruption. This massive volcanic eruption devastated the Aegean island of Thera (Santorini) around 1600 BCE. The eruption destroyed the Minoan settlement at Akrotiri, with communities and agricultural areas on nearby islands and the coast of Crete. Subsequent earthquakes and paleotsunamis further impacted the region. Fifty years after this cataclysmic event, the once-thriving Minoan civilization lay in ruins.. no mystery as to what happened there!

One of two strategies. Either they moved up into the mountains for cooler alpine air or they made shade structures or built into the ground to just chill out during the hottest parts of the day.

The Minoens perished due to a collapse of their trade network with the mainlands combined with a population boom and a lack of trees. Much like modern day Newfoundland in Canada without consistency the civilization collapses and the youth move on.

Wonderful video, yet, it is incomplete without the Indus-Saraswati civilisation. The reason behind extinction of that kind advanced civilization is still a mystery. Till date no one can decode the language. Not surprised though, as the Western world conveniently ignores the Indus-Saraswati civilisation.
@gordonbrinkmann
@gordonbrinkmann 2 дня назад
Oh yeah, the evil Western World... I don't think these four chapters cover all vanished civilizations, so why prefer the Indus-Saraswati over others left out of this video? Maybe they keep some for eventual future videos if the topic gets enough views. Sorry your favourite didn't make it into this one.

Doesn't Herodotus say that the Minoans were destroyed by the Greeks because of the practice of taking children as tribute? I suspect the Anasazi and Khmer empire was destroyed by their own elite abandoning their societal myth. The strangest disappearance was the Harrapan. Perhaps that could be a topic of a future video?
