  Can we deconstruct topics?
• 0:17
  If we do a little bit of it all, today we got a good one. Today we got a little
• 0:20
  one that I've been wanting to do for a while.

• 0:28
  Whatever the situation is of the unknown Oh,
• 0:32
  we got a little good, nice episode I'm into those little mysterious stories

  That we don't know what the hell happened But something happened, you know what I mean?
• 0:40
  And today we got a story about the Roanoke Island mystery Maybe I'm saying it
• 0:46
  right, maybe I'm saying it wrong If you're listening to this podcast Which I'm

  pretty sure you're definitely going to be enjoying it That's why you got to hit that like, share,

• 1:00
  put them all together and say, hey, listen, we're going to be entertained because
• 1:04
  we are listening to the legendary deconstructing topic.
• 1:08
  And he's talking about Roanoke Island Mystery. And again, if you're listening,
• 1:14
  if I'm saying it wrong, hit me up.
• 1:16
  Roanoke. Roanoke is R-O-A-N-O-K-E, Island Mystery.
• 1:23
  And basically this mystery. And, you know, I'm just going to give you a little
• 1:27
  because, you know, I want to keep it simple for those people that are listening
• 1:30
  that have never heard about this story.
• 1:32
  It's definitely an interesting story where somewhere in 1580-something,
• 1:38
  I believe 86, 87, 88, somewhere in this part of the country,
• 1:42
  I can't say, I'm not going to say United States because United States did not
• 1:45
  exist back then. Come on.
• 1:46
  But I'm just saying in context, in this part of the world, There's a little
• 1:52
  island of What we call North Carolina Called Roanoke Island For those people
• 1:56
  who are living in this country.
• 1:59
  Oh, hey, listen, history might not be your expertise.
• 2:03
  You just happen to enjoy whatever it is this country offers today.
• 2:07
  But in order to get here, there's a lot of stuff that happened hundreds and hundreds of years ago.
• 2:14
  So Rona Gowland is one of those things. And keep in mind, we are in year 2025.
• 2:20
  So in 1587, if I'm not mistaken, I'm trying to recall here. I'm trying to pull
• 2:27
  out my notes here because I did a little bit of notes because,
• 2:30
  again, I want to keep it simple.
• 2:32
  In that year, in that little island, the understanding is that a group of English
• 2:39
  colonists, and when I say English colonists, it's people from England who took a boat, right?
• 2:45
  There was no place back then. Maybe there was. Who knows?
• 2:49
  We live in the Matrix, right? Who knows? Whatever. took
• 2:52
  a little boat or a big boat and decided
• 2:55
  a nice ship boom and land on
• 2:58
  this side of where we at now here in
• 3:01
  the United States where I'm doing this recording and wow
• 3:03
  we are talking about back then days just to
• 3:06
  get from England to North Carolina now
• 3:09
  my thing is this I don't know if these
• 3:13
  English settlers is what they call
• 3:15
  it so colonists not sure if their aim was to land there but they landed there
• 3:20
  and what happened was that in this little item we talked about like 115 16 17
• 3:26
  people in this little island whatever case might be trying to build a new world
• 3:30
  because keep in mind whatever was happening in england there were a lot of people that were not happy.
• 3:36
  But, you know, word in the street, word in the street is that,
• 3:40
  hey, there's a land, a piece of land, there's land that we could go,
• 3:44
  but it's somewhere in the Atlantic, across the Atlantic, and they decided, yo, we out.
• 3:50
  We out. We just grab our motetes, if you don't know Spanish,
• 3:54
  our stuff, and just be like, you know what?
• 3:57
  Let the ship guide us to wherever it needs, and then boom, here we go.
• 4:01
  And we got this little island, Roanoke, Roanoke Island off North Carolina.
• 4:07
  Now, North Carolina, I'm in New York City, so North Carolina is in the south.
• 4:10
  We're talking about, what, eight hours if you kind of take a car, road trip.
• 4:16
  You know what I mean? So you got this little island with 100 and something people
• 4:20
  chilling, drinking, eating, doing whatever they do.
• 4:24
  And the leader of that little group, that little clan or whatever it is,
• 4:29
  decided, hey, listen, I'll be back.
• 4:31
  Because something's going on.
• 4:33
  You know, we need more stuff. I'm going to go to England, go to another home because, hey.
• 4:38
  Now, keep in mind, when these individuals landed here, there was already natives that were living here.
• 4:45
  And when I say native, what we call native Indian, I call them,
• 4:50
  you know, native people living in this side of the world.
• 4:53
  Hey, listen, different tribe, different people.
• 4:56
  Hey, let's get it. Party time.
• 5:00
  So this individual decided, and I believe it's what they call John White, if I'm not mistaken.
• 5:08
  Now, North Carolina, you know, Rona, North Carolina, keep in mind that back
• 5:11
  then there was really no name, whatever it is that they call it,
• 5:15
  which is straight up bland.
• 5:16
  So they decided these colonists, these 100 plus people to say,
• 5:20
  now this is our territory.
• 5:22
  We're going to have a governor. He's going to run stuff up, whatever it is.
• 5:26
  So this individual, John White, decides, hey, I'll be back.
• 5:30
  We're talking about 1587. I'll be back.
• 5:35
  You know, these days when we said we'd be back, you know, a couple of minutes, a couple of hours.
• 5:40
  This individual came back a couple of years later, two or three or four years
• 5:44
  later, if I'm not mistaken, to the island. And guess what?
• 5:47
  I know you guys been anticipating like, okay, David, what's going on?
• 5:52
  What happened to these hundred plus people in this little island? Poof.
• 5:56
  The individual John White comes back and there was nobody home.
• 6:00
  And that's why it's called the Roanoke Island Mystery. So in this little island,
• 6:05
  off the coast of North Carolina,
• 6:08
  these hundreds of plus of people doing their thing like, hey,
• 6:12
  you know, like if it's 1999, let's party up. Hey, let's go. Woo.
• 6:17
  Trying to live a little new life that they couldn't have in England.
• 6:22
  But it was struggling. And sadly, my understanding is that there were little
• 6:28
  tension between the natives that were living in this land and the English side.
• 6:33
  Now, keep in mind, let's just be straight up here.
• 6:36
  The native, for the most part, are people brown. You know, they got color. You know what I mean?
• 6:44
  And to see this group here from England who are white, or what they call white.
• 6:51
  There was tension off the bat, just that you look different.
• 6:54
  There was tension between those natives.
• 6:56
  And we already know that the history of United States, especially early.
• 7:00
  And when I say United States, this part of the world, when it became the 13
• 7:03
  colonies, and then when it started to expand, there was always the natives.
• 7:11
  Indians, or the natives that were here, versus the, in the beginning,
• 7:16
  which what we call settlers, the people that was coming from Europe to this country.
• 7:20
  Then as time passed, then we became Americans.
• 7:23
  Whatever the case might be. There's some little beef already.
• 7:26
  Hey, you look a little bit different, my friend.
• 7:28
  So when this individual came back, he's like, what happened?
• 7:33
  What the hell happened to my people? They're not here in this little island.
• 7:38
  And one of the, how can I say, theories would have been, hey.
• 7:44
  Since there's some tensions between some of the Native, different i i believe
• 7:48
  one of one of them because i think there's another island called the crow,
• 7:52
  crow towing island am i saying that right
• 7:55
  cartoon that's c-r-o-a-t-o-a-n that
• 8:00
  there could have been some beef and you got to keep in mind you're talking
• 8:03
  about hundreds of people versus a little
• 8:07
  bit more of a hundreds of people this tribe
• 8:10
  that's called the quotes and so one of the theories would
• 8:14
  have been is that hey those people just got wiped out but
• 8:18
  my understanding is that i believe they might have found
• 8:21
  bones of one but if you
• 8:24
  look at the village hey it was abandoned i was like if nothing happened they
• 8:28
  disappeared in there you know some people might say hey listen they starved
• 8:33
  to death disease you already know they into a territory that they don't know
• 8:37
  and they just happened to like, poof, whatever.
• 8:42
  Went to the waters, swam away, something to that effect.
• 8:46
  There's always that theory that they might have said, hey, I'm out.
• 8:50
  You know, this island, it's a little bit too small, and what we're seeing across,
• 8:54
  it's a lot of territory with a lot of good stuff.
• 8:59
  A lot of good stuff, so let's just go. So imagine this.
• 9:02
  You're this individual by the name of John White and decide,
• 9:06
  wow, what the hell is going on? Where's my people?
• 9:12
  And then the thing is this, that because of this mystery, you know,
• 9:17
  you got the 10, 4, 1⁄2 people that say, hey, listen, something happened.
• 9:21
  Because the only thing that you could say that there's some type of evidence,
• 9:27
  excuse me, my understanding is that someone put the word Croatan,
• 9:31
  Croatan, yeah, I'm sorry.
• 9:33
  If you're a native and you're from that village and that area,
• 9:36
  and I'm saying it wrong, I get it.
• 9:37
  If I get an arrow somewhere like, I apologize, I'm just trying to say the word C-R-O-A-T-O-A-N.
• 9:50
  They carved that in this little tree or something to that effect So some people
• 9:55
  might say that they were, how can I say, moved against their will, right?
• 10:02
  And again, if you're a John White and you'd be like, oh man You're really speculating
• 10:06
  or assuming that something happened with it They had some little beef with the
• 10:11
  natives And that's when you take up arms and say, hey, what's going on?
• 10:16
  But just the fact that for hundreds of years, where the archae,
• 10:21
  sometimes I say certain things, but archaeologists, scientists,
• 10:28
  historians, all that above just never understood or never really can pinpoint what exactly happened.
• 10:36
  Because, again, you know, when John White came back, he came back with some
• 10:39
  peoples. He came back, hey, with some supplies. He was ready to go. West mile people.
• 10:44
  And they're drawing little maps and little things on going on and to look for these individuals.
• 10:50
  And I think the recent news, and once again, the Roanoke Island mystery.
• 10:54
  People disappear, a hundred and something. People don't know.
• 10:57
  Imagine going to an island or somewhere in a boat. There's the fog. There's the smoke.
• 11:05
  It's a fire. It's still lit. But there's no sign of life. Wow. What happened?
• 11:14
  So, recent news or recent theories have been, and again, it's been theories
• 11:20
  that perhaps, hey, they died. They got killed.
• 11:23
  They went up on themselves and say, okay, this dude, John White,
• 11:27
  is taking a little bit too long and I'm starving.
• 11:29
  And, you know, we just don't got the supplies to kind of get to the mainland
• 11:34
  Because this is an island that's not in the mainland of what we call United
• 11:38
  States So where are we going? Where are we at?
• 11:41
  And it looks like more and more the speculation or the theory would be that
• 11:47
  they assimilated With the Croatian tribe, basically,
• 11:52
  And the reason would be that even though in this part of the world in what we
• 11:57
  call United States or modern United States is that the fact that,
• 12:00
  you know, just like in any part of the world when there's different tribes,
• 12:04
  there's different beef, there's different problems, there's wars,
• 12:06
  there's battles, whatever it is.
• 12:08
  My understanding has been is that there have been natives in this country who
• 12:15
  seem more friendlier and welcome to these sellers because keep in mind.
• 12:21
  Even though these tribes in this part of the country, they look a little bit different.
• 12:25
  They still are a little kind of brownish.
• 12:29
  To see somebody in a lighter color, you'd be like, what the hell happened to you?
• 12:35
  Was you not in the sun? Is there a sun in your country? I don't know. You need a tan.
• 12:40
  But the fact is that they are natives in this part.
• 12:44
  They had that little beef with other tribes and natives that were others.
• 12:48
  So basically, it looks like these colonists decided, hey, let me go here with
• 12:54
  these people. They're cool. They can protect us.
• 12:56
  And it seems that the first or the most clear, or at least the theory that it
• 13:03
  looks like is making more sense as more and more and more information comes up.
• 13:08
  Because even though this happened like hundreds of years ago,
• 13:11
  we're talking about 400, 500 years, whatever it is, 1580s.
• 13:16
  It seems that more information comes up every often And it's shedding light
• 13:24
  Because you got to keep in mind That there's a lot of tribes, right?
• 13:29
  Where they basically Their history is based on oral history Just word of mouth There's some that Hey,
• 13:36
  listen, there's 10 people that just oral history They pass it down But then
• 13:39
  there's those who document it in paper And for certain documents to come up.
• 13:45
  That are verified that, hey, listen, these people simulated these hundreds of
• 13:50
  colonists, they were chilling with us.
• 13:52
  Hey, they became us. They were welcome to the cookout. You know what I mean?
• 13:56
  And that's how that became. And perhaps this is the story where I guess people
• 14:02
  leave it open because, again, some people might say that, hey,
• 14:05
  listen, some aliens from out of the world just came and just took them.
• 14:09
  People are always going to speculate and throw some theories or whatever the case might be.
• 14:14
  I like to believe that they assimilated.
• 14:17
  And once they assimilate, basically, they just say, you know what?
• 14:22
  We ain't doing this English thing no more, man. These people over here,
• 14:25
  these Clawtown people, they mad cool, man.
• 14:30
  And just go back to England, whatever, or just bring more. I could understand that.
• 14:37
  Especially if you feel protective from these tribes versus the other tribes
• 14:42
  that might feel a little bit different otherwise.
• 14:46
  So we make it happen. Hope you enjoy this little mysterious thing of the Roanoke Island mystery.
• 14:54
  Again, some might say that it's one of the oldest cold case in this side of
• 15:00
  the world and what we call modern United States because there's no definite
• 15:04
  answer. Something happened.
• 15:05
  We just don't know the definite answer. But, hey, listen, by all means, feel free to share.
• 15:12

• 15:15
  podcasts, and I'm bringing it on light to my audience, my people,

• 15:24
