Someone please forward to Cory at CURB so a modern accurate version can be on RUclips!
were there any people on burmuda before 1512?
No.
1609 is when the first known people landed. And 1604 is when the spanish named it.
@@saraiinez8790 Was discovered in early 1500s though
@@deontewynn4325 I was born there and I did live there for quite a while before I moved to another near by island chain, Bahariterra, and I live here now... Bermuda was always 24 square miles for the last thousands years since ice age, and will continue to be big, InshAllah.
This was not a beautiful doc.. very white wash…
The real or fake one? Most Bermudians want Bermuda and foreigners do too. That is why there are two.
