  • The Lost Colony of Roanoke has been a mystery for years, and little information has come forward to help scientists solve the suspicious case. In today's video we try and crack what actually happened to the settlers of Roanoke, what the theories are and why is this still a mystery!

    I've always found this case hilarious. I learned about it when I started middle school and the natives of the area suddenly had people with blonde hair and blue eyes living with them and the Europeans were still wondering what could've possibly happened to these members of their tribe??? they even carved "CROATAN" into a tree. What ever could have happened to them????????

    "White and his men..." Uh, no. John White wasn't able to afford hiring a ship to go back to check on Roanoke. He was able to buy passage on a ship. He had basically a morning on shore to look for the colonists and when they weren't there, the ship's captain said "There's a storm coming. We're leaving. Come with us now or stay here on your own." John White was 60 years old. He really had no choice but to go.

    Logical reasoning: The early settlers abandoned their town and lived with and married Native Americans. There wasn't always tragic hostility with European settlers and Natives.
    Conspiracy theorist: It was aliens that abducted the early settlers.

    Theory: The colonists moved in with the natives and decided to carve their destination into the tree - but not a cross - because they were under relatively "mild" threat from other tribes in the area. Drama between local native american tribes forced colonists and the natives to group tighter together into a single village for protection. The villagers, being armed with guns, weren't all that worried about inter-tribe fighting, so they decided to split the difference and carve "CROATAN" into nearby trees and the fort wall, but skip the cross.

A last ditch effort they went to natives for help but they were seen as attackers and the natives attacked back and the villagers fled and took anything they could, while the natives took the rest that they wanted and NEEDED to get them away as a reason to not thanked the guns as they didn’t like them

    There is also another story that is rarely if ever talked about. There were Maroons who had been exported as slaves into areas of Florida. As many of them rebelled, they formed allies with, and in many instances, cohabited the Seminoles. As they learned the land, many moved up from the Florida territory and on into what is now the Carolinas and Virginia areas including Roanoke. Some believe that those settlers eventually mixed in with this same group as well for their own survival.

    I cant believe that everyone here has missed something that is so obvious, the word Croatoan relates to Croatia. If you google Croatoan and Croatians there is so much evidence that points to Croatian sailors, who were some of the best sailors in the world with great ships to rival many of the English, Dutch, Spanish and Portugese vessels.
    If you google Croatoan and Croatians, read as many articles there as you wish, all evidence points to Croatian connections. The fact that Indian tribes in that region even use Croatian words in their language is truly amazing. Also, DNA testing of Indians in the region showed percentages of Croatian DNA. I have done so much research myself on this and concluded that it is most likely 100% Croatian.
