I have seen so many documentaries about these explorers that praise them and make them look so good. But these explorers were violent men. They stole, raped and murdered their way into history without that part really making it into the books of history.
Hernando de Soto's was a narcissistic psychopath the more you read about him and others the more disgusted you become!!😢 just your typical medieval Thief murdering serial killer!!!!😂
They would never tell the story about themselves in an unflattering light. They took what they wanted and the folks who were exterminated never had a chance to tell their side. The story of the white man leaves one with hands utterly drenched in blood
I’ve seen this one a few times and for the most part a good amount of it is accurate but so much has changed in findings through archeological tea search and investigating. After excavating many mound sites and Mississippian sites archeologists have found golden, silver, copper, and even jade jewelry artifacts like ear spools, beads, necklaces, bracelets and other trinquits that predate European contact in the Americas. Meaning that the gold the natives had never came from Spanish ship wrecks and were attained through native trade and even local mining in some areas. The gold the natives were wearing in Florida upon Spanish contact from hernando desoto was not made from Spanish shipwrecks and most likely came from the Georgia and South Carolina aplachian mountains where gold was later found and mined in the 1800s . It’s also possible the gold the natives of Florida were wearing came from oceanic grade before Spanish colonization about 50 years prior with tribes like the arrawak and the Taino. Also worth noting is that mayan / meso American and Mississippian trade has been proven since this video was made. I understand that this video is a bit outdated though
It has always been fascinating to me how a few hundred men could pull up on the beaches of africa mexico or south america and run roughshod over millions....strange
Remember; if you were born in America always check the box for Native American no matter what. If Elizabeth Warren can get into Harvard for you to can receive the same benefits.
John Rhys Davies is a Shakespearean actor, and he has nowt to do with archeology save for his role in "Raider$ of The Lo$t Ark"... As a high-actor, and also as he is a Welsh person, I would expect him to have a bit more respect for correct pronunciation... Of course, to Welsh people, certain words in my accent would sound "queer" to them as well... Not "gay", but just weird and unnecessarily (and seemingly intentionally) mispronounced... But, HE knows damn well that "Conquistador" is not pronounced that way, but he does it anyway, just to be rude and superior to Iberians.

History as told by Brits. Now let's look at British history as told by the Spanish. Much larger native populations in Spanish speaking vs English speaking countries. enough said.
The Spanish were far more brutal to the Native populations than the British were. But look at every country Spain colonized and you see corruption, despotism, suffering and misery of large numbers of people. Most of the countries that were British colonies did pretty well and are mostly modern 1st world nations.
@@FriedPi-mc5ytThen wheres mostly the natives in the US and Canada? Not very much but in latin america one country mexico beats the native population than two anglo countries alone
@@erenjaeger1738 LOL! You can’t figure it out? The Native populations in Latin American countries have higher birth rates. Most 3rd world countries do. But the 3rd world countries are also shitholes, that’s why they invade the USA and every other 1st world country.
At first, I laughed every time I heard reference to "The Indians". Just making me angrier as I keep hearing it. You are 'serious' archaeologists and you are finding "Indian bones" in the Americas? Really??? Barf.
If you’re not Indian, it doesn’t affect you. Unless you are such a sensitive person, you’re outraged for actual Indians. If that’s the case….. grow up you overly sensitive child.
Excellent! I could go for another hour or two of this subject! Please do more videos on this!

please upload more conquistador content
I also would love to see more conquistador content
The moor you look up conquistador content. The moor you realize how black they were. Keep looking its all there in plain site
@@cavebabybeserkers2763 Moors were kicked off Spain in the Inquisition, YOU DAM LIAR. Conquistador were white of suntanned white.

Same exact things happened in 40-400AD Britain and Europe from Roman expansion....
im not politcally correct, but the painting of desoto expedition should not be in the us capitol rotunda
God bless de Soto.
Nah...

I'm a Afro Latino with the last name Soto I had to learn about the slave owners that.... my people
At least Indian is better than Injun.
Oro y plata
A sad story. Would DeSoto have died at birth.
The Chinese, Italians, Russians, Greeks, Japanese, Germans, British, etc. would have taken the place of the Spanish.
@@mutiny_on_the_bounty Italians never explored away. Romans did.
Tell that to the Italian Empire of Ethiopia.
@@mutiny_on_the_bounty Right. The cowards wanted to invade a poor country.
its not pronounced conqwistador is conkistador!!!!! Saying it with an english accent doesn't make it right either. smh

Well since the 1924 Indiana Act granted Native Americans citizenship they are Indians. Unless you want withdraw your rights. I'd advise against that.

Trump is so good at real-estate he's living rent free in your head. No wonder he's a billionaire. Are you going to be ok?😂
Most Native Americans call themselves 'Indians'. They're not thinking about nomenclature; they're thinking about human rights and survival.
@@YaoEspirito actually, they prefer the term: First Nations People.
Stop calling them Indians. Geez
Stop writing crap.
Stop speaking for people other than yourself
If you’re not Indian, it doesn’t affect you. Unless you are such a sensitive person, you’re outraged for actual Indians. If that’s the case….. grow up you overly sensitive child.
Well it seems that this "Gold Rush" episode was nothing but the beginning of a process that drove to "Little Big Horn" some centuries later.
