Season 1 Episode 13: The Mystery of the Anasazi

51 Seasons May 26, 1974 TV-PG 55m 7.8

Who were the people that built the first cities -- complete with apartment blocks -- in North America? They were the Anasazi Indians, who lived in the Southwest for some eight or nine thousand years and who then, in about 1300 AD, abruptly abandoned their cities and apparently disappeared. NOVA traces the steps of this ancient sophisticated culture.
