The Ancient Town Whose Dwellers ‘disappeared From History’ | Bbc Timestamp

Join Dan Cruickshank high in Colorado's Rocky Mountains, where the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde preserve the legacy of a civilisation that thrived 1,000 years ago. Carefully built stone homes, ceremonial structures, and intricate community planning reveal a people whose achievements challenge assumptions about the ancient Americas, and whose disappearance left a mystery that has fascinated archaeologists ever since.
