Join us on an intriguing journey back to the late 16th century as we unravel one of America's most enduring mysteries: the disappearance of the Roanoke Colony, also known as the Lost Colony. In 1585, Sir Walter Raleigh established the first English settlement on Roanoke Island, but the colony faced hardships and the settlers returned to England. A second group led by John White arrived to establish a more permanent colony, including men, women, and children. John White's return to England for supplies was delayed by the Anglo-Spanish War, and when he finally returned in 1591, the settlement was deserted. The only clue was the word "Croatoan" carved into a post and "CRO" on a tree.

What happened to the 115 settlers? Did they assimilate with local Native American tribes? Did they relocate and perish due to harsh conditions? Were they attacked by Spanish forces or succumb to starvation and disease? Recent archaeological findings and proposed DNA testing aim to uncover the truth. Despite numerous efforts, the fate of the Roanoke Colony remains a mystery, captivating historians, archaeologists, and the general public.

Parallels to modern times: Just as the Roanoke Colony mysteriously vanished, our current civilization faces challenges that could lead to similar fates. Climate change, political instability, and pandemics threaten the stability of our societies. Can we learn from the past to prevent our own "disappearance"?

Join us as we explore the various theories and the latest discoveries about this fascinating historical enigma.

Creo que John Costa había hablado sobre este tema en uno de sus "Escuchas y comentarios"

Muy interesante. Me hace acordar al caso de los rumanos y también, al de la (hipotética) Tribu de Israel en China. Saludos y gracias por el subtitulado en español .
