The Lost Colony Has Something To Do With Indian's Attack
There are many debates on what actually happened at the "lost Colony". Some say that the Indian attacked, killed many, and possibly took the others as slaves. There wasn't proof of killings but the signs of struggles cold have easily vanished, because the amount of time for ships to arrive was long. But what about the famous encounter with a blond, blue eyed Indian? And what about the words "CROATOAN" and "CRO" which were carved into a tree. What do they mean? Why were they carved into trees? Vote yes to an attack, otherwise vote no, explain

Actually, this would be MY area.....;-)
*ahem*

:-)

The Vikings landed in the Americas, made Vinland: A first settlement in the New World, LONG BEFORE old Christopher Columbus, lol, landed in the Americas....

The Vikings, generous to a fault;-),....shared themselves with the Native-gals, and made the Lost Tribes, of Ye Olde Legend...
(READ: Folklore;-)........

We, Scandinavians, have a way of leaving our mark on the world.

I do believe that Indians attacked and the settlers were not prepared. And i do thing the story of the lost colony is very interesting.

Will everyone please Stop calling us Indians!! We aren't from India. Anyways, Why is it a big deal wether they attacked or not, when scaled against what the europeans did to our people? Do they talk about that in the history books?? No because the Europeans were the "Heroes" while we were nothing but "Savages"...

CROATOAN could it possibly have to do with Croatia? Or the all committed suicide in the most remote part of the world. Or my favorite ALIENS, no I am not a psycho

I'm not saying that it was an attack, i just wanted to see what others think. I would like to know what happened to all of their bodies if they died either violently,accidentally,or naturally. Has anyone looked for graves? I haven't really followed on this topic lately

I'm not completely against the Indian attack theory. However, I remember a show on educational TV a year or so ago exploring other strong possibilities which included a) a rat poison problem because apparently there was something they used back then which may have been making them sick without knowing it, and also b) there was some sort of grain mold (rye I think) which also slowly kills people and the scientists had some sort of historical evidence they likely had that in their crops.

I don't claim to know, I guess I'm just saying the Indian attack theory isn't a slam dunk. And actually it could have been all three of these things - moldy rye, rat poison, as well as Indian attacks.
