Shadow Broker.. Cannibalism existed all over the world. It was the practice then. Perhaps the brain was not yet fully developed. Even in relatively recent times, cannibalism was still being practiced by tribes in the Far East rainforests. They knew no better. When we think of Ancient Rome, look at the heinous atrocities that were being committed even then. Throwing human beings to the lions was just as cannibalistic, or burning people at stake, etc. .. in a different way. The Anasazi existed way earlier. No one is condoning it; but, to reiterate, their brains were probably not as highly developed. Let's say the Anasazis knew no better.

Wally Brown, Navajo historian, has a lot to say about this topic. According to Dineh (Navajo) oral history, the Anasazi left no descendants. Instead, they were eradicated by the ancestors of the cliff dwelling tribes and the puebloan tribes, whom they had enslaved and victimized (cannabalized?) for three centuries. Brown says the puebloans and cliff dwellers were present when the Dineh migrated into the Southwest. The Anasazi came later from the south. They were violent and oppressive, practiced human sacrifice and possibly cannibalism. These practices horrified the original inhabitants. Eventually, the victimized tribes turned on the Anasazi and wiped them out. Brown’s oral history is fascinating and presents a completely new way of viewing the history of the region. According to the Dineh, modern puebloan tribes are not descended from the cannibal Anasazi, but from the heroic survivors of their victims.

There’s proof that the stories you heard are true. I believe it’s actually this particular Anasazi ruins that this man is at where they found colorful feathers from birds only found in Central/South America as well as a blue paint made from an algae found only in Mexico (somewhere in the Yucatán if I remember correctly). Scientists/archeologists seem to agree and believe it likely was used, at least in part, as a trading post between people from the south (Mexico as well as central and south America) and the Anasazi people… and probably other native Americans as well. Although other people came through it doesn’t seem like there was a mixture of peoples actually living there though, the domiciles seem to only (or at least primarily) have been used by the Anasazi.

Cannibalism comes in many forms. If you eat directly the bodies of your own people, that is one form. Another form is the indirect eating of your own...for profit. US Calvary Scouts were predominantly Native. They ate off what they earned from using their skill to hunt their own kind. Today, most US Tribes are by the same definition, Cannibalistic. They use the enrollment numbers and poverty stats of their own members to hunt and win US Federal Grants, which then only profit and enrich the Indians at the TOP. The poor Indians at the bottom are kept poor, thus enslaved to this predatory system. Of course lots of DC Democrats profit off kickbacks from Tribes, but WHO CARES. Who???

I am navajo, and I was told old stories that Anasazis were cannibals, and that I am surprised that a scientist found out by looking at the bones, crazy!

A Navajo elder, who has a channel here on, KZread, says the stories that were handed down through the generations by his ancestors were that the Anasazi came from the south, and discovered the pueblos and the Cliff dwellers (whom he called something like Dine) already there in Chaco Canyon. The Pueblo and Cliff Dwellers were peaceful when the Anasazi arrived. He says the Anasazi were very warlike and they enslaved the Pueblo people, but claims they only ruled for about 300 years and then destroyed themselves by mocking the Gods and all their slaves left and they couldn’t survive. I do not discount these tribal stories in any culture. They may add a little magic in the telling but it seems they are basically always true.

all of the effort and expense to create fortified and pen writable cliff dwellings would seem to a response only to a threat as terrifying as cannibalism, enslavement, extreme violence

When I was young, back in the early 70's I got a chance to go to Mesa Verde...and I was astounded at the cliff dwellings and became entranced with the beauty of the place and the mystery of the Anasazi. As I got older though, I felt something was off with the history and the narrative of what happened in the southwest...so, I started travelling and going to many Southwestern sites and reading everything I could about the ancestral Puebloans...When I was young, the story was that these were egalitarian, peaceful simple farmers....but when you walk through the ruins of Chaco, Aztec Ruins, Salmon Ruins and many others...you get a very, very different feeling...This was a complex, thriving Mesoamerican society with what I believe were "Kings" and they had wars, Religion, Culture, basically all the things a thriving, sophisticated, culture would have. Finally over the last 2 decades the narrative is starting to change and putting the Anasazi, Hohokam and Fremont peoples into their proper perspective. I recommend anyone who is even slightly interested in Southwestern ancient history to read Stephen Lekson's Book "A History of the Ancient Southwest" an amazing and eye opening book that tries to put the pieces of the puzzle together and show what was really going on around a thousand years ago in the Southwest.

Just take a look at the pottery styles of all the different cultures in the southwest and you will see that they are all heavily influenced by the Chaco "Black on White" ceramic styles. Same sort of symbology which I believe means whatever their religion was it was very widespread. Even the Fremont had what looks like influence from Chaco. This was before the Kachina religion (Which began right about when the Anasazi collapsed and the mass migrations began) After the Anasazi left Chaco and moved up to Aztec Ruins Pottery styles began to change in a big way in all the different outliers .

You know the answer to that question when mentioning the Jamestown Colony situation. Without relying only on science, Science most of the time is like trying to figure out who was there, what they were thinking and what their motives were from only their foot prints left behind. For awhile some people wondered if there was such thing as a race of subhumans called, "Big Foot." Including research scientists. Which I see as only laughable given how us humans in natural diversity when it comes to the height we can reach when coming of age can be clever when stiching up clothing to wear in the bitter cold. Our minds play tricks on us when we experience a quick change in the kind of emotion which we are feeling and the intensity of the same when encountering a surprising and unexpected scene. Same as when some people brought back an ill report about some people which led to their community spending 40 years wondering in the desert instead of continuing on to their destination as if they were lost which they were not. Only spiritually lost at the time.

Then there were the Anasazi. Those people were said to be different not like the Native Americans. They had a different culture altogether. They were not light and when they left after about 300 years, they left no descendants. This is very interesting. The cliff dwellers built up in the cliffs for a reason. They were defending themselves from work? So the Anasazi would not capture them.

It amazes me that people think what their ancestor did 800 years ago has any moral meaning to who they are today. Almost everywhere in the world at some point in the past cannibalism occurred.

They aren't. They're just like all the other humans in history. And news flash... it doesn't have to be due to starvation. Many human cultures in history didn't see other human tribes as human beings. It can in fact be a hint of a horrible human society... of which history is littered.

Yes most of modern human, of all race, have genetic adaptation to cannibalism. Most of human are immune or resistant to prion disease thank to our ancestor who eat the brain of our enemy or grandparent

Why is human sacrifice (on a grand scale) accepted as part of ancient Aztec culture (including drinking human blood), but the very real possibility of something similar happening in the Anasazi culture is completely unthinkable. Its probably because the Aztecs had a form of written language that physically showed them carrying out such acts. Kinda hard to deny. The fact is that many human cultures engaged in acts that we today find horrid, but they considered normal. You can't (and shouldn't) judge an ancient culture by our modern standards.

There are horrible things that every ethnicity has done in their racial past... can't we recognize what happened in the past without people feeling offended by it

If by "horrid" you mean cannibalism, then it happens not exclusively in ancient times. In times of hardship almost all races are known to resort to cannibalism. It is documented to have happened during European dark ages. And it happened as recently as the 1970's during the communist era in Asia. It's really not as horrid as some people think.

I am a native of navajo and apache ancestry. I'm also a scientist and the way they approached researching chaco canyon is textbook procedure. I believe the facts but I also keep my tradition and stories in my mind. But as they said, science is the pursuit of truth no matter how much we don't want to hear it. The truth is unbiased and unapologetic, unlike morals which vary from person to person and from generation to generation. There are navajo stories of chaco canyon and we are taught to stay away from there but I have been there many times to hike and take in the history of the area. Again I believe that cannabilism did take place but at the time this was seen as the norm for many cultures and races.

Interesting theory, there is a youtube video from a Navajo Elder where he says the Anasazi preyed upon their neighbors until they were overthrown and erased, their former victims becoming the Pueblo. History is probably somewhere between this and the stories the tribes tell themselves, as societies can be the result of former enemies forged into one by the fall of one civilization

Thank you for posting! Seems unfortunate this piece didn't bother to ask the POV of Dineh Nation (Navajo). Some clans retained an oral history from this period and they knew Anasazi.

About 15 years ago, my wife and I visited Chaco Canyon. At one point, I mentioned to our park service guide that evidence of cannibalism was present in human bone remains and in coprolites found in the area. He got quite defensive and dismissed such claims. I tried to assure him I was not speaking disparagingly of the Anasazi or their Hopi descendants and that it could have been an act of desperation in the face of prolonged drought leading to starvation. At the time, I was not aware of the influence of Mesoamerican culture on the Anasazi. I can see how the pejorative label of "cannibal" would be offensive to the native tribes of the southwest. It's a broad brush that can be used to limit these remarkable cultures with the simplistic label of "primitive." However, dismissing compelling scientific evidence does no service to a more complete understanding of the the rich and complex cultures that serve to define what it means to be human.

I've read quite a bit about the Anasszi in older National Geographic magazines and books. That region was able to support a sizeable population due to ample rainfall that allowed them to irrigate their crops. Then in 1130 AD a prolonged drought began that lasted for 50 years. The archeologists figured that the elites and wealthy traders began moving out to where water was readily available with more eventually following as the drought persisted. Some stayed behind since they did receive enough rain to raise enough crops for a much smaller population but now had to contend with bands of raiders in search of food as they migrated elsewhere. The articles mentioned the dismembered skeletons laying around that showed all the signs of being cannibalized. The acheologists figured they were too stubborn to leave and were forced to eat their dead or bands they killed when attempting to raid their community for food. The Apache and Navajos showed up much later since they began migrating south from Canada from 1200 AD to 1500 AD. Their bands raided the Hopi and Zuni with some settling the region to grow crops before the Spanish first arrived.

Someone mentioned "not judging people in the past by modern values." (Let people in our age face survival through cannibalism, or death by starvation, and see just how well our "civilized, modern values" hold up. From shipwrecked whalers adrift in the Pacific, to the Donner Party, to airline passengers wreched in the Andies Mountains, there are plenty of examples of our "Values" not enduring.) But the native A's are doing just that. And then becoming angered and offended by the suggestion than long gone people had broken our "Modern" values that makes cannibalism a taboo.

This is crazy how these people are in denial.

As myself being both of Zuni and Navajo descent, I believe these findings and conclusions are damn near accurate. The only question there is now is "was it because of severe starvation?" Or "for ceremonial purposes?" Some other religions on the other side of the world do such things as when an individual dies, their bodies would be heated til the skull pops and the bones open up releasing the deceased person's soul. They believed doing so release the person's soul. But I've also asked my elders to tell me stories passed down from generation to generation through oral traditions and they too speak of the Anasazi (the ancient ones) as being a race of such violent and aggressive behavior.

And obviously situations where disaster forced people to consume those around them. All of it are somewhat reasonable. And with the amount of different burial rituals (buring them in the ground, cremation, sky burials, mummification, putting them into a cave, and many more) consuming the dead isn't that different. And then obviously all the medicine made from egyptian mummies, which is technically also cannibalism, only that the dead was turned into jerky first.

@@jarniwoop i feel like the aztecs did those horrible rituals simply because they thought that was the only way to appease their deities, i doubt they saw anything as good or evil while sacrificing people. Many native southwest tribes however do have history of morals and boundaries especially when it came to killing other people. There was no need for sacrifices like the aztecs, their religion was mostly harmless chants, dances and rituals. I believe these anasazi witches who practiced cannibalism were very corrupt and knowingly practiced evil just like skinwalkers in navajo culture. They are basically the exact precursors to the bad ones in the tribes they existed in

21:26 He's not saying that the current Native American tribes are cannibals. He's saying that their ancestors may have been. He's not dehumanizing them, he's presenting the facts of what he's finding. If a fellow tribe's ancestors were cannibalistic, that doesn't mean the current tribe is. I think, now, that scientists like the man at 21:26 are more concerned with political correctness that presenting facts. We as a united people MUST provide truth and understanding above all else. If we're too concerned about how others feel about the truth, then we'll all be providing lies to keep others' feelings from getting hurt. History and one's ancestors doesn't define them

Mickie Noel And the fact is, as far as I know, we’re not even sure that present day Native Americans in the Four Corners area are descended from the Anasazi. Does anyone know whether genetic testing has been done to confirm or deny this hypothesis? It could be that when the entire Anasazi civilization fell apart, their survivors fled elsewhere. It’s possible that the direct ancestors of the current tribes in the area moved in from somewhere else. There was a lot of movement between Native American cultures, and there is a lot of time involved, centuries.

They would need to fight to survive unlike now where we just float along in the world we've created. In a zombie apocalypse what's the likelihood that people would resort back to cannibalism when food supplies ran out? People would be fighting to survive. And many would do ANYTHING to survive.

honestly in this case the i can understand why theyre defensive. These tribes have been abused by white scientists for hundreds of years. I think they fear any info that they had a disturbing past will be used against them and their culture, destroy whatever respect and land claims they still have. Don't get me wrong, i understand why the scientist wants to uncover the truth, and he should. but I don't blame this really vulnerable culture for 1. suspecting malpractice and misinformation (which anthropologists have historically done with native research), or 2. if it is true, fearing it will be used against them. (for example, white people justified slavery by saying africans helped capture slaves. this info may have been a convenient exaggeration. even if it were true, it doesn't justify continuing to do it)

Visit the Four Corners if you can: historically, geologically, & culturally a wonderful experience. Depending upon where you live, there are pre-European-contact archaeological & historic sites in every state, province & Territory in North America. And many museums & libraries. You can visit modern Native American cultural celebrations & communities (with permission) and powwows are great for the whole family. 👍🏼 Unfortunately Dr. Turner has passed away in 2013. He survived his lovely, bright & cheerful wife and was a kind, warm & conscientious colleague. His work was truly groundbreaking for Forensic Osteology/Anthropology; he also correlated signs of nutritional deficiencies jn bone. I've seen his work as foundational in Europe, Africa, & Asia.

Don't be afraid of history. It's there to not repeat it

I've watched a lot of documentaries like this, and this is by far the most compelling evidence I have ever seen for an archeological theory. I don't believe for a second that if they were cannibals that it says anything negative about their decedents. As others have pointed out, almost every person on earth today probably has at least one ancestor that engaged in cannibalism at some point. Plus, it is unfair to judge ancient societies that we don't really understand by modern standards. But above all, I do not believe a person is responsible for the sins of their ancestors. I don't believe the daughter of a serial killer is responsible for her father's murders. Archelogy is about trying to find the truth no matter how inconvenient it might be, and accurately accusing an ancient society of cannibalism is not the same as accusing potential descendants of being cannibals.

@James Henry Smith I probably will regret asking this and should probably just ignore this comment, but the confusion is driving me crazy. What on earth are you talking about? First, you post a scripture that as far as I can tell is just randomly selected and has absolutely nothing to do with anything (maybe I'm missing something, but I certainly don't see the point you are trying to make or how this scripture could possibly be relevant), but you don't even post the correct reference for the scripture. I consider myself to be Christian, but that doesn't mean it makes sense to randomly post scriptures in any discussion anywhere. The proper reference for the scripture you quoted is 1 Corinthians 10:9, and it is clearly referencing the fact that when God saved the Israelites and led them out of Egypt that when they were in the wilderness many of them forgot that God/Christ had delivered them from Egypt and started engaging in idolatry and fornication, and as a result God sent serpents that bit them, and those that didn't have enough faith to look upon the staff of the serpent that Moses held up based on God's commands died from those snake bites. But as far as I know, no part of that story has anything to do with cannabilsm. Also, that whole story is about God's people. Only Christ's people have the necessary knowledge to "test Christ." Are you suggesting that these people were Christ's people and thus had the ability to "test Christ" the way the Israelites in the wilderness did? Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of stories in the Bible about cultures that weren't God's people that might be relevant to this civilization. And if you really are arguing that this civilization also knew of Christ I am open to the possibility that this particular story is relevant. But if they didn't know Christ you really need to find a story that is about a culture that didn't know of Christ for it to be relevant. I genuinely for the life of me can't figure out what you are even attempting to say with your post. Unless, of course, you are just a troll trying to prove how righteous you are by randomly spamming videos with scripture references without actually worrying if those scriptures are relevant or if your posts actually drive those who don't believe in Christ even further from Christ, in which case I obviously fell for your game.

@James Henry Smith I don’t remember claiming that my comment wasn’t insulting. The best case scenario for me is that you aren’t a troll and that you really were trying to make a much better point and that once you develop your argument better it won’t sound so condescending. To be honest, if I 100% believed you were a troll there really would be no point in responding. If our roles were reversed and I had made a post that didn’t read how I intended it to read that especially quoted holy scripture in a way that could turn people off from Christianity, I would want to know so I could make what I was trying to say a bit clearer. I’m hoping that you actually did have something important to say and that you will explain it more so that the comment no longer reads the way it currently reads. To you the comment probably sounds completely obvious and not simply like a religious troll who is spamming videos with random scriptures to prove how righteous they are. But I have to be honest, that is 100% the way it sounds to me when I read it as currently written, and if that’s the way it sounds to me I guarantee at least one other person will read it that way, too. It is comments like these that kept me from believing in Christianity for a significant period in my life, so it is something that is especially close to my heart. If you didn’t intend it to come off that way, this is a fellow Christian letting you know that at least some people might read it that way and it would be extremely helpful if you would expand your comment so it no longer reads that way. And if you don’t care that it reads that way and/or you really are a troll that is attempting to prove your moral superiority by abusing holy scripture then I have absolutely no problem if you take my comment as insulting. Someone who abuses holy scripture in a way that turns people off from Christianity to stroke their own ego will ultimately face way more serious consequences than being insulted in the comment section on KZread. And if you choose to believe my comment isn’t being offered in good faith feedback that’s on you. If I tell someone they have toilet paper sticking out of their pants and they decide I’m acting in bad faith and refuse to remove the toilet paper I did my part in telling them. It’s up to them if they don’t want to take the feedback. If I tell someone their zipper is down and they choose to leave it down, that is also up to them. If I tell a woman that her dress is tucked in her underwear and she leaves it tucked in her underwear, first it isn’t an insult, it is merely feedback that will hopefully save her embarrassment down the line, and second if she decides to leave it tucked in her underwear at that point it is her choice how she chooses to respond to the feedback. I have told you how your comment reads at least to me. If you don’t want to develop your argument further so that it reads as less insulting to some people, that is completely up to you.

@James Henry Smith The exact wording varies by translation, but the key is to go to the beginning of the chapter that says, “…our forefathers were all under the cloud, and that they all passed through the sea.” This is clearly referring to the Israelites when they were led out from Egypt since they not only were under a cloud, but passed through the sea. After that, verse after verse uses the word “they.” And in every single case if you look at the grammar, the only “they” to which the word could be referring is the forefathers that were under the cloud and who crossed the sea. While many of those Israelites were killed by literal snakes, I have no problem saying many of those same Israelites were killed by Satan’s followers and not just literal snakes. And I have zero problem believing that it’s at least possible that the Destroyer/Destroying Angel is Satan. But that doesn’t change the key point that if you follow the grammar back to verse 1 that the only possible group that “they” could be referring to throughout the entire chapter is “our forefathers” that “were all under the cloud, and that they all passed through the sea.”

If you were to argue that he is a scientist, I think he is more of a social scientist exploring past events and achievements to human behavior and relationships among groups, and keep in mind this can be riddled with bias because they are piecing everything together through the eyes of another time period, culture, etc..

Cannibalism happened in many cultures. It is said that the practice was happening in polynesia to a heavy extent,and that was part of the reason, sea exploration and communication among islands stop cause them to isolate.

There are Egyptian panels that have recorded a period of drought, famine and war during which the people resorted to cannibalism. It happened during famine in Russia; even in Jamestown. It has happened everywhere.

Fascinating Documentary. It is a shame to see the denunciation of science and the concrete studies performed by Turner because it is "offensive" and "insensitive."

There are oral stories from Native Americans, like the Paiute, who tell tales of their people fighting giants, who often engaged in cannibalizing them.

Navajo parents would tell the giants, we do not have any children, we wish we had children so we made footprints with our hands. The giants would actually believe them & walked away. These giants are probably the same red hair giants the Nevada Paiutes tribes dealt with hundreds of years ago.
