Ancient Mystery Of The American Southwest – Secrets Of The Cliff Dwellers – Part 1
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Many archaeological discoveries have provided valuable knowledge about people who lived in North America in the distant past.
In Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, California, Colorado, and Texas we come across fragments of pottery vessels, human remains, stone tools, well-preserved rock art and remains of cliff dwellings that date back over 12,000 years.
This region has been home to interesting cultures that left behind traces we are still trying to decipher. Though much is known about the ancient people of the American Southwest, there are also several unanswered questions.
Certain archaeological findings have been brought to light, but these discoveries have been neglected and never investigated properly.
In this article, we travel to the Southwest and learn about the curious secrets of the Cliff Dwellers, and once again, we discover certain historical oddities.
