In 1972, Neil B. Thompson wrote an article following "Body Ritual Among the Nacirema" by Horace Miner. Thompson's article was titled "The Mysterious Fall of the Nacirema" and it was about the fall of the "Naricema" civilization. Research on the Nacirema heritage shows that the extinction of the Nacirema culture was caused by the development of the people themselves. They turned the landscape of hills full of trees into barren flat land. In some areas, Nacirema erected tall towers and statues made of steel. Some of these towers are arranged in a long line that rises to the horizon and each is connected by cables. In a period of about 300 solar cycles (based on radiocarbon dating), The Nacirema leave many ill things to the environment such as changing the appearance of air and water. In the last 50 solar cycles, the color of the water in their environment has changed from blue and green to red and brown.
in Thompson 's "The Mysterious Fall of the Nacirema" the Nacirema society values equality and free will so that there is no caste division . Research shows the presence of the Elibomotua cult who performs rituals to create an intense sense of individual involvement in efforts to control the environment. This cult focuses on creating artistic symbols for man-made environmental systems. Archaeologists have uncovered a large collection of symbols of the Elibomotua cult. Unnatural colors, materials and sizes indicate cult values. Most people follow this cult and perform rituals of using and caring for objects called racperiodically. This is believed by researchers to have influenced the chemical characteristics of the air.
