Episode description: In the American Southwest, there is no greater puzzle than the magnificent stone cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde. In search of answers, our host, the intrepid explorer and survival expert Josh Bernstein, travels from Mesa Verde, Colorado to remote canyons in Utah where the Anasazi Indians took refuge. Why did the Anasazi Indians suddenly move their villages to these perilous cliffs in the thirteenth century, abandon them just decades later, and then seemingly disappear from history? Was it drought? Invading tribes? Or was it an insidious cancer from within that may have caused them to turn to fierce warfare and even cannibalism? Piecing together the story from both archaeologists and Native Americans, Josh tracks down the answers in the eerie and desolate ruins of the Anasazi's greatest city: Chaco Canyon.
