▶ Your Answer : In
the lecture, the speaker says that there are many controversies about why the
Anasazi civilization was disappeared. She cast doubts on the current
explanations about this mystery illustrating 3 reasons addressed below.
To
begin with, the lecturer mentions that it doesn’t mean anything that the bones
found in the graves show their malnutrition. The lack of nutrition and an inadequate
diet was a very common phenomenon at that time. This was because about 45% of
the yield was dedicated to religious purposes. This contradicts the reading
passage’s claim that the insufficient crop to feed the large population is the
reason for the immigration of Anasazi people.
On
top of that, she asserts that it doesn’t make sense to say the Anasazi people
immigrated to find the water and they had a plan to come back when the drought was
over. According to her speech, if it was true, the Anasazi people would have
come back their home when the drought was really over but they didn’t.
Finally,
the speaker argues that the Anasazi people chose the land of their settlement regardless
of the water or rainfall. In fact, the Anasazi people moved to the place where
Arizona is located now and this land has little moisture and less water, stream
or rainfall than other regions. This refutes the claim of passage that the
Anasazi people settled where reliable water supply is expected. |
