Anasaz (讗指谞侄住执讬诐) - Hebrew word meaning "to destroy" or "to be destroyed". It is the plural form of the Greek term "Anasazos". 2. Izmael (讬值诪址诇) - Hebrew name given to a person who had been in rebellion against the Israelites, possibly referring to a leader who was considered an Anasazi. 3. Jezreel (讘执旨拽职专值讬诇) - A place of refuge for people fleeing from their homeland, possibly a fortified town where Anasazis lived and engaged in warfare. 4.

In summary, "Anasazis" are believed to have been members of a group of tribes that lived along the shores of modern-day Iraq and Syria, perhaps as early as 450 BC.
