DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn exuberant, hands-on fly-on-the-wall account that combines the thrill of canyoneering and rock climbing with the intellectual sleuthing of archaeology to explore the Anasazi. David Roberts describes the culture of the Anasazi—the name means “enemy ancestors” in Navajo—who once inhabited the Colorado Plateau and whose modern descendants are the Hopi Indians of Arizona. Archaeologists, Roberts writes, have been puzzling over the Anasazi for more than a century, trying to determine the environmental and cultural stresses that caused their society to collapse 700 years ago. He guides us through controversies in the historical record, among them the haunting question of whether the Anasazi committed acts of cannibalism. Roberts’s book is full of up-to-date thinking on the culture of the ancient people who lived in the harsh desert country of the Southwest.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA few years ago, my wife Mary and I found ourselves exploring a vast and remote archaeological area of Northern New Mexico called Chaco Canyon. We were fortunate enough to stumble upon a tour, guided by a National Park archaeologist who, in his midsixties, spent his entire PhD career studying ruins in and around Chaco. He told us, We know there were people living here and when they lived here. We know there were buildings here. He gestured around at the obvious. Everything else is just speculation. He paused to allow time for this naked and refreshing honesty to sink in. Then he said, Archaeology is informed speculationbut it is speculation nonetheless.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat Happened to the World's Great Civilizations? At their peak, the Mayan and Anasazi civilizations were some of the most advanced the world had ever seen. But hundreds of years ago, they just disappeared-vanished. Or so it seems. What really happened to these technologically and culturally sophisticated peoples? Where did they go? In Dusty Sandals, Rod Beach attempts to answer this question that has haunted generations of researchers with a unique and ground-breaking account. But as he presents a scientifically sound theory of migration-following tribes as they travel from Chichen Itza, along the trail of Kokopelli and back to their homeland in Asia-Beach goes further than exploring how. Dusty Sandals presents a vivid fictional narrative that seeks why. From political and religious machinations to changing economic and social conditions, Dusty Sandals imagines a culture on the brink-where brutal new tactics of controlling the population spur a hunger for change. What emerges is a fascinating story-seen from the inside-of how a people changed their circumstances through grit, fortitude and sheer bravery-and of the legacy that continues to this day.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen Owl Man, leader of Planet Anasazi, is called by the Great Spirit to save Mother Earth from an asteroid, he must enlist other lost civilization leaders to help him. The plan involves relocating Earth's inhabitants to another planet, Earthalike, and restoring Earth to her original state, leaving only native inhabitants. The removal of miles and miles of concrete and the release of dammed rivers will correct the Earth's dangerous instability, allowing her to shift out of harm's way. But Owl Man faces many obstacles; strong opposition from the leaders of the Aztecs, Mayans, and Toltecs, distrust by his own brother, and rebellion by the nephew who will one day take his desired position of Ultimate Leader. As the asteroid streaks toward Earth, and with the destruction of the universe looming, Owl Man struggles to overcome his greatest obstacle of all: his own ambition and pride.
