On a side note here... went back through the Anasazi story where Dr. Turner was raked over the coals by the “rousseau-Indians were so pure” crowd of PC Indian history revisionists, because he proved cannabilism in that cultural time period.
They assumed the claims were the Anasazi were the cannibals. No, later work (proving the cannabilism by analysing petrified pooh with human muscle tissue in them) showed someone else was eating the Anasazi.
Enter the Toltec. The architecture of Chaco Canyon mimics the “ball fields” of the olmec/toltec culture of competition and death and.... cannabilism.
The Anasazi moved up on the mountain sides because of FEAR of these animals. Then, within 200 years.... they were ALL gone because of real climate change, and starvation.
Chilling stuff. What would be the modern equivalent of such tectonic shifts in culture and survival of civilization? Maybe an EMP pulse weapon delivered by 8th Century islamofascists or their proxys.... from Mexico across an open border. Ok, too much coffee, a mois.
