"The Mesa Verde Story" by Anonymous is a recount of the historical journey of the Ancestral Puebloans who resided in the Mesa Verde region, transforming from wandering hunters to established farmers. It showcases the Ancestral Puebloans’ cultural advancements, from their earliest days over 15,000 years ago through their prime era around 1100 to 1300 A.D. It uses dioramas to illustrate their progression through various cultural phases, such as the Basketmaker and Developmental Pueblo periods, which highlight the rise of agriculture, pottery, and unique architecture like pithouses and pueblos. The story ends with the cliff dwellers' era and describes the environmental issues that caused them to relocate in the late 13th century, signifying the conclusion of a notable civilization.
