The ancient civilisation that thrived in extreme conditions - BBC REEL 

Much more interesting than Mesa Verde. And way fewer tourists.

I learned about this place from a book called "Bone Walker", written by archeologists W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O’Neal Gear. It's the 3rd book of their Anasazi Mysteries series.

I missed the part where they date this culture and architecture.

The Four Corners Area USA - the Hopi Native Americans say is the HEART of Mother EARTH. It is a very SACRED Area. It is why the Hopi Native Americans live close to the Earth and take great care to RESPECT Mother Earth. They cause as little harm to Earth as possible. The waters were always fresh & clean due to their care.

Wow I’ve been there! That was unexpected.

Very interesting!

저런 유적지 정말 좋아하는데 잘봤습니다 👍💐

Wow

With my respect, "One of the most important buildings in the history of the entire world" maybe is a bit exagerated.

I would love to know the extent of their trade routes. Prehistory is full of trade routes not often spoken of

I would like a detailed DNA trace through the indigenous communities to see how they all relayed to each other!

Thanks a lot BBC.. For covering such a important knowledge about accident history.

Where is that place and the island of his country

Videos like this are what i liv 4

It doesn´t say that what happend to them. Where didi they go? and one another thing is. perhaps in that time this desert was green with a lot of trees.

Looks like gerudo valley 💝

Squash, Beans, and Corn.

There be some haters in the comments ... or more like elitists? Like cool, new world civilizations are younger than those found in the continents of Africa and Asia. But some of the comments seem to imply new world civilizations are just inferior to other continents' ancient civilizations. 🤔

Absolutely!! But this is lifecycle on earth!!! If you see nowadays this civilisation makes same mistakes!!! Major development it’s located on costliness for trade convenience! Big earthquake will trigger huge tsunami and this will end this civilisation unless you will become wiser and be prepared and help people with brilliant minds creativity to create places that be safer from natural disaster and this civilisation could have better start to build new civilisation!!! Urban people don’t know how to survive without this system that this civilisation has built and its not rocket science that they will have tough time to survive despite there be everything to do so!!!

U can compare India buildings Mexican how Hindus updated strong and perfect stones

More like they used all the resources..

México in Central America? That guy really doesn't know his geography.

The civilizations of Harappa and Moenjodaro predate this and other civilizations in the western hemisphere by about 5000 years. These mega cities hosted thousands of people, traded with Sumeria and Mesopotamia, laid out their cities along a grid, had covered drainage, used baked earth pipes for water, and syphoned water from the River Indus using hydraulic pumps. The cities were located at the banks of the Indus and were therefore built on top of platforms sometimes 30 meters high, made out of baked brick. Cotton was cultivated here, so was Indigo. The civilizations were destroyed by unknown forces, and the system of writing is complex, using many complicated symbols which have still not been deciphered. These cities are situated in my country, Pakistan, and are 7000 years old. The Pueblo culture is recent comparatively

I won't ever go there!!!

Silk road was in Asia, not in Europe. So get your facts reviewed.

I don’t believe you should be changing AD and BC to CE I believe that it’s anathema !

Watch djt and his cronies blow it up!

He lost me with "the Silk Road in Europe". At least, he could have said "the Silk Road FOR Europe", but in this state, it just undermines his credibility...

Hahaha, ‘in the entire world.’ Sure, it was nice, but these people were peasants compared to all big empires the world had produced before or at the same time.
