I don’t know that they were killing the Native Americans...I’m thinking that they were carrying European diseases to which they didn’t have antibodies within them.
Edit: Ah, I’m glad they mentioned it. It’s the same thing that decimated the Native Hawaiian population here in Hawai’i.
@@evettspears969 Give Luka a link to the video. It might increase the likelihood that he watches it. Just a thought. Aloha from Hawai’i. 🤙🏽

"Why was everyone named John..." the real conspiracy
People weren't as creative, probably
Because Christianity became prevalent and people admired the important names it it. Like John the Baptist.
That wasn't until 1938 in Grover's Mill, NJ.
Because everyone just LOVED Johnz
🤣
The route they sailed was determined by prevailing wind and ocean currents. It was not possible to sail straight across the ocean from England to North America.
Yes also if they were to sink they would be by land.
Couldn’t they have flown British Airways?
@@dasboot211221 Not possible at that time. Today, a flight from England to the US would be about $400 if you catch a deal. With how inflation works, $400 would be worth tens of thousands of dollars in the late 1500s. Simply too expensive.
Also, straight routes on a flat map do not reflect straight routes on a round world.
@@zualapips1638 Agreed. They’re quite genius for latching onto the mechanics of Mother Nature. The cost of fuel alone for a trip back then would make it completely unviable. Plus airplane mode wasn’t invented yet so itd be very hard to navigate properly
Alternate title: “English man cannot tell whether a dog is barking in real life or in the video he is reacting to”
Imagine being dropped off as the first English colonists in North America and only one person knows where you are and then they just don't fucking come back for years and years
Same thing essentially happened with Iceland (and Greenland), but for centuries. The Icelandic people were still there; the colonies in Greenland were not.
Thats what my dad did.
@@zayb07 😳😳
They sailed that southerly course to take advantage of ocean currents, it saved time. If they had tried to sail a more direct, northerly, course they would have been sailing against the Gulf Stream, literally adding weeks to the journey.
Currents and the Gulf Stream were only a secondary concern. The primary reason for the route to and from England was the prevailing winds. The winds in the northern Atlantic are in a clockwise flow. If your goal is to sail from east to west, then the best option is to start by going south and then using the trade winds to sail downwind toward the Caribbean. If you try to take a northern route, then you will be sailing against the wind the whole way. That was a very slow and punishing option with square-rigged ships of the day. Even worse was to try to go across the middle, where you would sail into the Sargasso Sea in the middle of the North Atlantic where there is little to no wind in the center of the trade winds gyre. You could easily get stuck there for so long, bobbing around with no wind, that you would exhaust all of your food and water.

Saddest part of whole thing in my opinion: a man is convinced to leave his daughter in a very uncertain and mysterious land... and never sees her again. Can you just imagine the anguish of the act of leaving, being stuck in England for years with it on your mind, making the trek all the way back, then having a mishap that fucking close that denies you the right to check the one place she should be.... that just mind fucks me.
Absolutely heartbreaking.
Because nothing happened to the Natives worth being sad about.

I just realized Lemmino is “let me know” said quickly.

Hahaha seriously 🤣🤣🤣
take a lap
I know, right. I was pronouncing it L M N O until I heard Luka say it a couple weeks ago.
@@VRonkiej lemmino says "just lemmino" in his intro like bruh
Luka: People would typically use charcoal to sketch (which is still common), and then of course they had multiple kinds of ink, as well as the various types of paint we have now (watercolour, oil paints), except for acrylic paint (which is a modern invention). Paper was typically made out of linen or hemp, instead of tree pulp. They also had canvases made out of cotton, like today. So art supplies were more or less like what we have now, with some minor differences in materials.
Brushes were made from wooden handles, horse/animal hair, then cut with a sharp object to make the tip and wrapped with twine. Brushes and paints are almost timeless.
What Will said. [nod] Also, you absolutely *can* draw with ink. It takes some skill, since you can't erase, but with practice you can do it, and many artists do it now. You can also make ink washes, by diluting ink with water, and paint with them like watercolors.
Also there’s a city named Raleigh named after him here in North Carolina

It is clear to me that the noises Luka hears and the barking dog (which no one else can hear) are the ghosts of the lost colonists.
This might be solved. Researchers found some important clues last year, I forget the specifics but look it up.
I think my previous reply got counted as spam because I included a link that I then shared in other comments - but there are some great news articles from last year about the mystery being "solved".
On a nearby island they have recently found European and Native artifacts side by side. On this island, there was an encounter with blue eyed Natives around 100 years after the disappearance, and the Natives claimed their ancestors read from books.
There's also some evidence that says more than one tribe took them or, or are descendants of the survivors of the colony.
They didn't really solve it, though.
The clues were not conclusive.
sandpiperr yeah but it’s still way more evidence then they’ve ever found before. And we now at least have a solid idea of what probably happened.
Exactly, they made it more dramatic to make a play out of it. Its funny how idiots will argue the false narrative
The article I remember reading said that new evidence was found, but then COVID and they had to stop their research. IDK if it has started again. I read that article about 6 months or so ago.
7:50 in the video - the collapse was from disease as the British were unaware that they were carrying illnesses that the native Americans were unaccustomed to
"The English treated the Native Americans horribly!"
Andrew Jackson: *sweating*
Hate Andrew jackson why is a white supremacists and racist like him on the 20 dollar bill?. And ppl think trump is racist.
the native americans raided each other enslaved each other killed the small babies who were too small to walk that was normal
@@danielmessi1092
You can't look at the past with today's eyes..
@@danielmessi1092 Well, yes. But given that it was so many generations ago, I'm really unclear why anyone should still be angry at him. I mean, he's a pile of dust and bones. He's been that way for quite some time. Best to accept that he was a man of his time and all the attitudes that were common back then. No amount of hating Andrew Jackson is going to undo the Trail of Tears. So, what's your goal exactly?
How about focusing on the here-and-now instead.
@@melaniegrant3934 That is one of the most crassly broad generalizations of history I've ever seen. If you find yourself beginning any sentence with "The Native Americans ...", you're already bound for failure (unless you are talking about present-day organizations or legal issues concerning Native Americans at large.) You need to remind yourself that there is no single Native American culture or people and never was. You're talking about hundreds of distinct cultures and peoples, each with its own history, language/dialect, religion and values. This includes different relations with their neighboring tribes and different attitudes towards warfare (including different honor codes.)
You also need to take a step back and remind yourself that many of the kinds of stories you are referring to are, in fact, exaggerations, distortions and even propaganda that circulated among (white) Americans (and often Spaniards/French/British-Canadians). Some are pure fiction. Others took a single incident and exaggerated it into a racial caricature. Others have more historical truth to them but were still stories used to support things like the idea that white America had the "right" to the entire continent from east to west coasts ("manifest destiny") or simply tell only one side of the story in order to demonize different tribes.
In any event, characterizing this kind of activity as "normal" for all "native americans" (sic.) is, frankly, atrociously bizarre. You might as well be a half-literate American living in the 1860s believing everything you read in some sensationalist newspaper or pamphlet.
The Lumbee Indian tribe in North Carolina had their DNA checked and some of the results showed a connection to Roanoke settles relatives stayed in England.
I think this is completely possible! I think more than one tribe took in the colonists. I know the Lumbee have more African roots than European though, it's part of the reason they've had such a hard time getting Federal recognition. According to their DNA many of them are more African than Native.
They sailed that route because that's where the wind blows east to west. On the way back they'd go up the coast to about Newfoundland, then cross to England because to go with the wind and currents.

Colonist 1: "hey john"
Colonist 2: "how's it goin john"
They figured it out a couple of years ago. They went to go live with the native people. It's in their native oral history and in their DNA. They carved the name of the tribe they went to join in the tree.
That makes the most sense
@@sarg778returnscodm7 Actually, a few years back, someone did DNA testing of the natives from that area and compared it to known surviving relatives of the colonists. They found actual genetic matches.
@@randlebrowne2048 doesn't mean it was solved. It just means there was some interbreeding while they were there. Same genetics could mean any number of things. It wasn't solved. They just said they found the MOST LIKELY hypothesis for it.

let Luka get his money bro
Did you hear about all these English people that live along the West coast of England that are finding out they have Native American heritage? That is a crazy story! I heard one interview with a woman from Plymouth whose came from a family whose ancestors were sailors-she was about 7% Native American.
Much of my family has lived in Chicago, Illinois for over 160 years. The most recent arrivals were my grandparents in the 1920’s who were born in Texas and North Dakota. When I took the DNA test I found out I am part Australian Aborigine! Apparently I had an Australian Aborigine ancestor born around 1800. Huh?! But it makes sense. When I was a little girl I found photos of my grandfathers mother (great-grandmother) and that side of the family. I told my Mom that her Dad’s family was part black. My Mom said no, but I could see even in the old black and white photos they were mixed. My great-grandmother would have been born around 1870, so that makes sense. That side of the family were all English ship captains. Our ancestors got around a lot more than we think!
Don't feel bad, British lad. All peoples have done awful things at some point in time.

True... every nation has a bad past. I also think it's interesting that they started out amicable and grew to distrust each other because of poor diplomacy.
@@ohifonlyx33 its not about nations - a nationality is just one of many excuses for heinous acts - its about people. People are influenced by greed, lust, and vanity.
Growing up in North Carolina this has always fascinated me. In NC, in 8th grade, NC history is a required course and we learned about this in detail. I had a wonderful history teacher named Mrs. Wright who really made me a life long history buff. Anyway, I've been there many times. Today the island is modern with cities named Manteo and Wanchese after the Natives mentioned in the video. There's a bridge two and from and it's pretty much the connection between the mainland and outer banks for vacationers. Part of the island is preserved as an historic site by the National Park Service known as the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site. Of course, Raleigh is also the state capitol of NC, named after the same Sir Walter Raleigh who sponsored the expendition for which the fort is also named
Where are the indigenous people?
Today's Royal Family ain't as incestuous as it used to be. Elizabeth and Philip are still third cousins but according to my research, that's the last incestuous relationship in the current Royal Family.
Back in the day, while there was a lot of incest going on as marriage was a tool for alliances and most european monarchs were related, there still weren't any sibling-marriages (at least as far as I know).
The worst kind of incet you got was between first cousins.
Except that Victoria and Albert were first cousins, and Elizabeth and Philip are third cousins....
^ what he said. First cousins are still incestuous bud. Those relationships may be more accepted than direct household incest but it's still incest.
@@Vendrix86
I'm aware of that, bud, and never stated anything to the contrary.
What I did state is:
The current Royal Family, as far as I knew, isn't incestuous (which, as Mike pointed out is not true. My bad)
And
There was a lot of incest going on, though no sibling-marriages (as far as I know). The worst kind of incest you got were first cousins.
@@MichaelAndersxq28guy
Victoria and Albert aren't exactly what I'd consider "Today's Royal Family".
Though I did not now that Elizabeth and Philip are third cousins. I'll change my top comment accordingly...done.
The real question should be why tf is there even a royal family in this day and age.
need a California Gold Rush reaction, its part of what made California the most financially rich state in the country. Huge piece of our state history :)
Lav, watched you recently reacting and saying the U.S. has like different countries in a country with all the regional differences. Have you ever looked into the Pennsylvania Dutch ? (Amish). That truly is another lifestyle entirely. So close to Philadelphia, yet a world apart in lifestyle. Also, have you ever reacted to Area 51?
I actually don’t live that far from where the site of the colony was
I live in Beaufort County NC . Where are you ??
Bro...here’s an idea: watch a video about Donner Party
yes! maybe puppet history's video on the donner party
Growing up in California, we learned about it in elementary school history.
I think you're right though, would love to see his reaction...what a story!
P.S., I've crossed Donner pass many times in different seasons
Or the Dyaltov Pass Incident. That one still gives me the heebie jeebies. If anyone would make me believe in a yeti, the ripped off jaw of the body would do it. Or better yet, why did they all run from their tents in the middle of the night without shoes or coats or anything
Yup, Mallorca is a pretty big island in Spain. No. 1 tennis players Rafael Nadal and Carlos Moya were both from the island. The island is over 2 times as big as my island, O’ahu, in Hawai’i, which is where Honolulu is located.
Yeah, man, inbreeding among European nobles is really well documented. Since they couldn't marry commoners, the gene pool was too small. There are noted genetic diseases associated with nobility, hemophilia among them. Or such is the overview touched upon by my general education. Often such generalities lack a complete picture, but I'm just trying to tell you your suspicions are not wrong.
Useful Charts may be a great channel to watch for this. Back then they never really traced female lines, so houses were much more inbred than previously thought.
Just ask that one royal family that inbred so much that they all died out
11:45 These were wind-driven (sailing) vessels. Perhaps, for additional assistance, they also relied on the currents to keep them apace?
I grew up just 30 minutes from this place. They do an amazing play about this every summer. And there are actual Native descendants and other historians dressed up in traditional garb, teaching people about how they lived back then. You can make baskets, smith iron nails, watch demonstrations and more. It's very cool.
In terms of artistic tools, Leonardo Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa nearly a century before these map drawings (not to mention the paintings and artwork that stem back to ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt and earlier). So yeah, they were probably not using crayons, but they weren't using primitive drawing tools either xD Charcoal, inks, watercolour and oil paints were already in use in hand-drawn European art (probably other materials too but those are the ones I know for sure off the top of my head).
Oil paint would not be a material used in drawings. Though some did find its way over to the American colonies just a couple decades after the earliest settlements for some portrait paintings. Drawing materials that the English used do include charcoal, ink, and watercolor ... but also gouache, silverpoint, and red/white chalk. That said, materials would have been brought over entirely by ship in the earliest decades on colonization and materials that were susceptible to moisture were not preferred for such transport - and certainly not for use on the ship itself. So charcoal, watercolor, gouache, and red/white chalk were less common than ink and silverpoint in those earliest decades of British America.

Since they were sailing ships, they had to follow the gulf stream back.
They took that route because they relied on the prevailing winds for propulsion. It may have been longer but it was faster.
If you ever get the chance I highly recommend heading to the outer banks of North Carolina to hear the history from locals. It's fascinating. Been there twice and cannot wait to go again.
Why is this a mystery? The guy told the colonists to leave a message of where they were going if they ended up abandoning the colony and when he came back he found message of the name of an island where they knew friendly natives lived, just because he didn't ended confirming for sure if they went there, I'd say its pretty safe to assume.
I'd say they decided the colony was no longer viable either because of the hostile natives or lack of supplies or something and allied with the friendly natives from Croatoan and went to live with them.
Exactly bruh
Yeah, it's not really a mystery at all anymore. I think people just like to cling to it because they don't like having their 'Ooooo-this-is-spooky' bubbles burst. Cracked.com has an entire article about this called "6 Famous Unsolved Mysteries (With Really Obvious Solutions)"
Actually a recent article popped up that archeologists have uncovered that the colonists ended incorporating into the crowitosn tribe

Roanoke Island is presently part of North Carolina. And our state coastline is still known as the “Graveyard of the Atlantic” because ships still run aground there. The island also has two towns named Manteo and Wanchese.
I live near this place ! It is now part of NC . No longer considered Virginia.
Also Black Beard the Pirate lived in this area Bath NC when hiding out from raids in the Caribbean
Roanoke Island, (now Manteo) is cool. Andy Griffith began his acting career playing Sir Walter Raleigh in the summer outdoor play "The Lost Colony" which performs every summer season in the outdoor theater. It's beautiful out there especially if you take the Mann's Harbor Ferry to the Island to explore the museum and see the play in the moonlight near the water. It's wonderful.
Fun fact I live in North Carolina where this happened :)
inkwell pens and charcoal, as well as paints, were used in art back then.
For their choice on travel, by using that route they lessened the amount of time at sea without landfall. The shortest distance from the "Old World" to the "New World" was to go down to the western edge of Africa across to the Caribbean Islands. The less time at sea, the less need for stores that could go bad before landfall. This meant less time to hit potential troubles at sea, including the food stores running out, storms, etc. It may have lengthened the full journey, but it most likely saved lives.
I remember my dad took me to Roanoke when I was a kid. The place gave me the creeps then lol
I remember growing up this was campfire spooky stories, being out in the woods talking about the colony that vanished and no one knows what happened to them always gave us the creeps
Little baby Virginia Dare is a part of our (US & British) shared history. Virginia Dare was the very first 'American/British' child born in the 'New World.'
Back in those days, they took a large bird's feather, sharpened the opposite end from the feather array, and dipped it into a cup/container of ink. This was called a Quill and ink.
I'm in my sixties now and a native of NC. As a child in school this was part of the folk lore that was taught in schools about NC. It's always been fascinating and part of my childhood lore. To North Carolinians it was comparable to those folk tales throughout the would such as Heidi and Robin Hood. We'll never know the truth but it really doesn't matter. I don't know for certain but I suspect that the remaining colonists were either murdered or assimilated into the Native American population. Thank you for reviewing this.
It was proven by genetic testing a few years back that some natives are genetically related to relatives of the colonists who stayed in England. At least some of them *did* join the Hateras tribe.
I'm from New England So I know this story is common Knowledge here lol They try to keep the ships as close to shore for as long as they can in case there's a problem that's why they take that route even today airlines do the same thing with flights to different countries.
I can answer your question about Tudor and Stuart era drawing directly and in full:
Drawing materials were quite varied and all continue to exist to the present day.
Metalpoint. Drawing using a thin rod of metal (usually silver) held in a pen-like device. Ground animal bone on the paper would create friction and the soft metal tip would rub off onto thick, study paper, vellum or parchment.
Vellum and parchment are animal skins that have been stretched and treated by a tannery, used throughout the middle ages and eventually replaced by paper only because printed books required a cheaper writing/printing support. Paper is wood-pulp, obviously.
Ink (in black, blue and brown) applied using the tip of a feather, cut at the end to have a pointed end and dipped into an ink-well.
Charcoal. The same dark black soft charcoal that artists use now. Held directly in your hand and applied (no modern-day wood pencils to hold the material.) Can be pressed directly, blown, and smeared with a finger or a piece of cloth to create different effects.
Chalk. Most commonly white chalk, particularly in England (see: Dover cliffs). But a clay red tone also existed. Used in the same way as charcoal (see above.)
For color, watercolors and gouache were used. These are simple pigments mixed into water (watercolor) or water with an opaque material (gouache). Applied using brushes.
British colonists arriving in the Americas would have brought these materials with them from port cities like Portsmouth or Plymouth - particularly in the earliest decades of colonization. However, some of the softer materials were NOT preferred for use or transport on ships, for the obvious reason that they are not resistant to moisture. Early colonial drawings reflect this. (Less chalk and charcoal.) Later on, American colonists would find American sources of drawing materials.
[Graphite (still found in your everyday pencil now) existed but was not commonly used. Pastel chalks and oil pastels did not really exist. Wax crayons were not a thing. Nor were markers, ball-point pens, felt-tip pens or any other obviously manufacturer writing/drawing tools.]
I'm only 2 hours from Roanoke. I've known this story my whole life & my mom always said she believed they went & lived with the natives... which has now been confirmed to be true.
Confirmed? Are you sure. I'm not sure it is beyond debate quite yet amongst historians. Or perhaps I missed something big?
I live near the area and it is interesting place to visit. It is also near Kitty Hawk where the Wright brothers flew their plane.
Here's what could have happened: They were planning on going to Croatan and on the day they were moving out, they were attacked. The Men fought most were killed thrown into the sea for burial, the rest were taken as slaves. The Natives worked copper mines and it was hard, brutial work so, they put the slaves to work there. Great Britain knew what happened to them and couldn't get them out. There are documents that write about a white woman and white men being held in Virginia. But, it was all hush up becaused Great Britian wanted people to live in the "New World" and if they heard about the captives it might scare them off. So, everything was hushed up and the people that were enslaved stayed that way until, their death and the "New World" was populated as planned.
I wish I could claim this theory but It belongs to a couple of masons from New England. They did a TV show on what they discoved but I can't remember the name of it or if it was on the History or Discovery channel. They were able to find a great deal of evidance. (they were the ones who found the fort under the patch) it really was a great show.
Thurston being anti-Monarchy has been my favorite story line this season lol
Virginia...l THINK NOT SIR ‘TIS NORTH CAROLINA
but srsly why was everyone named John
it's a huge conspiracy
The lost colony of Roanoke was in the Outer Banks off the coast of modern day North Carolina. The island the colony was on was named Virginia for Queen Elizabeth I. The Chesapeake Bay, where they wanted to go for the second colony is on the coast of modern Virginia. Sir Walter Raleigh had a hand in the colony as well. You can see traces of all this today with the city of Roanoke, Virginia and Raleigh, North Carolina. Interesting how history sometimes retraces its own steps.
American Horror Story: Season 6!
Kathy Bates was awesome.
"My Roanoke Nightmare" An absolute "must-see!
A great irony about Roanoke is that modern historians rarely ask Indigenous folks about what happened to the colony. There is no Croatan tribe anymore, but as tribes were decimated by settlers they coalesced into mixed groups that eventually became their own identity, sometimes this coalescing also included settlers taken in. Today the Lumbee tribe is the the descendants of the Croatan tribe. The Lumbee formed as various tribes came together. For many Indigenous folks there is no lost colony, because the history of the Lumbee and other local tribes has always held that the colonists were taken in.
An interesting thing of note is the John White was one of the few settlers to maintain fairly good relations with local tribes. He viewed us as human. You were curious what he used to draw, and he worked in watercolor. After colonies like Jamestown, a lot of our culture was assimilated into the settler culture as a matter of survival. White knew that the settlers were going to try to destroy us, and he made it a point to try to capture snapshots of our lives in watercolor. For example, tattooing was very common; however, colonists early on began oppressing us for tattooing. Also, our pre-contact clothing women had exposed breasts; however, settlers were using that fact to "excuse" raping women and even young girls. Early on we were forced to convert to Christianity and speak English. White's watercolors are some of the only records in existence of us before we were forced to assimilate. Today, we're reclaiming our cultures and luckily that culture didn't die completely, but his watercolors are considered a cultural treasure because he took the time to really show us as people.

The reason for the route the ships took is because of the natural stream that flows in that area. It's basically a circle from England, down the coast to middle Africa, then across the mid Atlantic (the path that hurricanes take) to Southern U.S., then up the coast using the Gulf Stream.
The reasons why the routes back and forth are clock wises and never through the middle or back the way the ship came, as in trip to America is south to Africa and across to the Caribbean trip back is up to Canada back to UK, is due to the fact that ocean currents in the northern hemisphere run clockwise and with out a motor you would not be able to cut through the middle where the currents would cause you to aimlessly drift.
The routes of sailing ships were dictated by prevailing winds and ocean currents.
About that planting colony thing you said. Humans, are explorers. What drives us and our technological advancements, is our curiosity to explore. We have explored every inch of the surface of this planet in some form or another. Therefore, our curiosity and desire to learn and explore has subconsciously forced us to look beyond our home planet. Even the earliest humans to exist were explorers by nature. It is built into us. Which I find very fitting, and comforting.
Hey, Bro... I ate those mushrooms you gave me and now I hear dogs barking in my head... Far out, Man! 🍄🥴🤪😵
The ships were following the trade winds, which is why they went so far south and backtracked along N. America.
I love as we reach the “mysterious stuff” suddenly hearing a dog that may or may not be there
Re: Drawing: Quills/feathers were used by most/many. Inks were nature made- iron gall. As were pigments if you wanted to color. They also use charcoal for sketching things before penning them and I'm not sure when they started using carbon (precursor to graphite pencils)
Carbon came a bit later. (Art historian here.) It is interesting to note that drawing materials were usually one and the same as the writing materials and tools used on ships in the earliest decades of British America. There are obvious reasons for this. Writing was necessary, drawing a little less so during maritime travels. But also, it is easier to keep ink in corked jars than to keep the wet away from chalks, charcoal and other water-soluble materials. Food for thought.
You should look up the story if you’re interested. Last year they found one of smith’s maps had invisible ink showing a fort about 50 miles east of Roanoke, and there they found a lot of English pottery. That spot us in present day Bertha County, NorthCarolina. There are still different theories but some of the newer ones are interesting and seem believable.
Ayeee!! Been waiting on this one!
Site X is now mostly occupied by a golf course, so further archeology will probably be difficult in the area. However there is a small area of woods immediately south of the golf course which they could investigate.
"Roanoke"... I cannot see anything about this colony/city without thinking of my high school Government/Economics teacher, who was from there and unfortunately mentioned it a little too often; we, as the honors class of, well, buttheads that we were (pre-dating "trolls" of the internet, we sparred face-to-face, dealing with any consequences of our actions), spent the rest of the year roasting and tormenting him in turn as only high school students can. We were MUCH more light-hearted overall, though, than the class before us that often ended up in outright fights. We found out that he, too (like the very first men of Roanoke), had enough of us... I mean, the US... and departed our shores, going to Japan, I believe, to teach English.
In any case, I greatly enjoyed your video and I appreciate the update to my knowledge of this lost colony! We were taught (YEARS ago... As I mentioned, we were BARELY getting internet, but not as we know it now) much more about the desecration of the colony and the futile attempts to understand what they could from the cryptic messages left behind... Including the theories that the "cro" might've been a last-ditch effort by a dying colonist to point the finger to the culprit/culprits, as it could've indicated the name of the tribe, but also perhaps the name of a man. It is so unsatisfactory to NOT KNOW, especially in this current age of having so much knowledge at your fingertips!
You should react to a channel called "Weird History" they have a lot of good vids about different things
At 7:10 the reason why the Natives would die was likely not due to violence from the British, the main reason they would die was that the Europeans would unintentionally spread diseases to them that they had never been introduced to, the Europeans had the Flu, Measles, Small Pox, and even if they didn't have it at the time, they could still transmit it, a lot of Europeans did intentionally kill the Natives, but I don't think that was supposed to be the reason there.
The Portuguese and Spanish Basques were fishing and whaling off the coasts of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia (Acadia) since the mid 1500's if not earlier. They left a mix of "Metis" people that knew how to avoid scurvy and survive the winters while living as traders and middle men when natives brought furs to exchange for metal wares. In turn, the furs were exchanged for goods brought from France, Portugal and Basque lands. The DNA shows that quite a mix of seamen were turned loose at these friendly ports, as the Portuguese traveled with South Seas spice pirates, captives and exslaves amongst their crew. The French attempted several failed settlements without the vitamin C diet supplements the native women provided their mixed family and European husbands in the Metis encampments.
To your question about their seemingly long route in transiting the Atlantic. The ability to resupply, warmer weather and calmer seas, retracing the route of Columbus and also the trade winds of the tropics.
Speaking of DB Copper, one of the guys that was suspected of being the famous hi-jacker just passed away today at 94. This cat looked just like the sketches in his younger days.
Damn White just really never came back 😂 he said “fuck it, i been to this island and back two times already i aint doing it a third, guess ill just never see my family again” like dude wtf
I know...that's what I was thinking! But maybe it was because he needed approval and funding for the trips and couldn't get it again.
They did drawings with paints. Made from different pigments made from anything from crushed bugs to plants
Ok the note of the royal family. Everyone just look up the Tudor line. It is the most complicated thing ever. Henry’s wives Anne B, Jane S, and Katherine H were all related! A and K were cousins and both were second cousins to J. They all shared a grandmother. WTF. Plus Elizabeth 1 and Queen Mary of Scotland were cousins but were at war. Nothing about this line makes sense!!!!!!!!!!!
The reason they sailed that route is due to the ocean currents. and you can ride the gulf stream up to the east coast to roanoke. its also skewed because its on a map. if you look at the route on a globe its more direct then it looks.
They drew maps, flora and fauna, etc. Basic items and features since without cameras that’s all that could be preserved. Ink and feather quill on like wood or leather hide were the “document supplies. Ink from berries etc. Anything with pigment that could stain and dry.
Hopefully used my uni art history class info well enough.
Near site X, archeologists found a settlement by Europeans called site Y. It does appear the colony split, with half going to Hatteras and the other going to site Y. Pottery has been found at both.
Here's something to be reminded of about Native Americans at that point in time.... Native Americans fought.. they had battles, wars, & enemies with other Native American tribes. YES as the years go on we settlers never did them no favors, but they weren't necessarily or always peaceful innocent tribes in THEIR own right to other tribes. So killing an Englishman in a horrible way was kinda natural to them.
English settlers artifacts/camp site were found on Hatteras Island in 2019 by archeologists.
They had charcoal sticks, water color paints, oil paints, etc. Much of the same things available today just much less premixed color ready to go kind of stuff.
I'm Creek Indian and live in Oklahoma where there is a lot of native Americans. I have never seen a native person with albinism. I had to Google it that's crazy bro
I feel like there's potential for a great movie to be made about this scenario
Lol, at the point where you took your bud out thinking you heard a dog was right when my dog was barking.
For the sailing...I can’t say exactly why they took that route..but there’s also currents in the ocean that can make taking a winding route faster than a straight route. Especially back then without motors. It probably had something to do with supplies tho.
The Jamestown fort also,wasn't where they thought it was. It had been thought the fort was in the James river. Then it was found on shore and is being excavated. So who,knows what will be found,in North Carolina.
Virgina Dare was the first English colonist born in America, I'm surprised he didn't mention that, also thats why the name Dare is apart of the American lexicon, Dare counties etc
White had a daughter who he knew was pregnant when he started the first colony. The baby was named Virginia Dare and was first baby born in The New World.
You couldn’t look under the patches previously to 2011 because they use special scanners to be able to read what’s under the patch without removing the patch. These scanners were only invented in the 2000s. The patches are basically parchment glued over top of the original parchment, so you couldn’t really peel it back and look underneath without damaging what’s underneath, meaning you couldn’t read it anyway.
Interesting to note, one of the ships with woman on board disappeared years later in the Bermuda triangle on their way to America. It is to note this because one of the woman on board was the daughter of one of the colonies’ mayor.
Piece of royal family history for you. Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, King George V of England, and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia were all related. So you could say WWII was a family feud.
I don’t think his channel is pronounced “Luh MEE No” I think it’s just a slang way of saying “Let me know” Just don’t pronounce the T and say it fast, without emphasis on ME, Lemmino. “Can you go with me tomorrow? Ok just Lemmino.” Lol.
"Do they all just Shag Each Other", you made me laugh out loud, honest. The Island of Roanoke is now called Manteo Island (although some still
choose to call it Roanoke, but there's a Roanoke city inland and it gets confusing sometimes).
The expeditions all followed a route through the southern reaches of the North Atlantic because they were following the wind and ocean currents. There is a large circular current north of the equator between North America and Europe, called the North Atlantic Gyre. Its western side, called the Gulf Stream, carries warm water from the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea up the east coast of the U.S. and Canada, past Greenland and Iceland, and then south past Britain and Ireland. It's the reason British winters are so much milder than winters in central North America. On the southern side, that current flows from western Africa to the Caribbean Sea. It's driven by the Trade Winds, which blow from east to west. Even though it's far out of the way, the wind and currents there make the trip take much less time than trying to cross at a more northern latitude.
