Amazing how one person in today’s world fulfilling his own personal dream to find out in more detail then to study for 30 Years and return to “Jamestown” and rewrites an amazing yet important part of history! Thanks for sharing👍
Neither the Pilgrims or the Jamestown colonists were 'British', they were English. They claimed the land for England. The United Kingdom did not exist until 1707,and even then the term 'British' was rarely used until the 19th century.
So what's the deal with that? Is it politically correct to say British? I know how the PC culture brow beats those who disagree. We have alot of that crap here in "the colonies". That's interesting though, I usually refer to Y'all as " The English " myself.
@@chriswilliams2652 The term 'English' is virtually banned by the BBC and most of the media,and people are encouraged to view themselves as British. No such rule applies to the Scots or the Welsh, the latter being the most entitled to the epithet.
Liex Schreiber has an AMAZING voice. And he's a CRIMINALLY underrated actor, as well. It's actually kinda difficult to imagine this is the same guy who played Wolverine's brother in "X-Men Origins; Wolverine." Sabretooth, I believe it was. He should appear in more films, and narrate absolutely everything lol or at least as much as humanly possible, anyway. 👍
My ancestors arrived at Jamestown in 1627. Wm Stone (7 times great grandfather) was the 3rd Colonial Governor of Maryland. My 5 times great Uncle, Thomas Stone, signed the Declaration of Independence.
That's pretty awesome! 👍 I'm somehow loosely related, WAY back, to the first Royal family of Sweden. (According to my family's recent extensive genealogy investigations.) But, to have such direct ties to American historical figures is something else entirely.
Like so very many dreamers, I was enchanted by archaeology as a child. Exposure to sites like Pompeii (we were invited behind the scenes in areas not open to the public yet, so I got to see the blood, sweat and tears that is archaeology. Then as an undergrad I was hired as a general labourer on the Jemseg Crossing Archaeological Project. The task was salvage archaeology; a new highway being built exposed a Native site (Maliseet, if I recall correctly). The site had been occupied by Natives and colonists for thousand years (approx 6,000 to 12000 years. At the time the dig was begun the site had been plowed and tilled for almost 2 centuries, obfuscating many of the discoveries until we moved into deeper pits. I will never forget the day I was screening and a clear quartzite thumbnail scraper appeared from the soil in my sieve. I was quite likely the first human to lay my hands on that artifact in thousands of years. The moment was surreal, beyond my wildest reaction to the artifacts and features I had witnessed as an observer in the sites I visited in my childhood! We had mostly found European trade goods like fragments of clay pipes and broken pottery. That Saturday afternoon is frozen in my mind even 24 years later. The site was located at the confluence of the Jemseg and Saint John Rivers in New Brunswick, Canada, and I believe it was the first time a dig was undertaken in winter below the Arctic Circle, so it was extraordinary from every consideration. I couldn't begin to understand how I would react to anything I encountered at a dig like Jamestown. My mind would have been blown, no doubt!
I’m from Virginia and when I was young we learned more about Jamestown than we did the pilgrims. It was the first one and it’s crazy the northern states don’t talk about it more often.
But they were eating rat because they weren’t able to fish and hunt I mean food is plentiful in these areas. But you have to be healthy to catch it and grow it
So, just a thought...they had Rats-bane on their ships to get rid of rats? What are the chances that those rats they ate from starvation weren't contaminated from the Rats-bane already? That, right there, is a fairly good possibility of how the settlers could have been poisoned. It didn't have to be a political plot for a Hercule Poirot novel.
Some flaws in the poisoning theory: 1. Why did the poisoner not simply contaminate food and water enough to kill off all of the Protestants in Jamestown? 2. If Jamestown had been destroyed, what would have kept any outlying settlements from becoming the first successful English colony in America? 3. How did rat poison go missing without anybody noticing?
Could arsenic have occurred naturally in the water, soil, food storage techniques, or clothing? In Victorian times, people accidentally died because of the arsenic in patent medicines, wallpaper, dyes, and clothing? Could the Jamestown settlers have been accidentally poisoned in a similar fashion? Another question: Was any analysis conducted on the rate of death among the "gentlemen" as compared to the rate of death among "laborers"?
Much enjoyed. Remember a documentary many years ago similar to this. I think they discovered that a mold in the wheat was causing LSD type effects. I believe it was a documentary on Salem around the time of the Witch trials. Thanks again for taking your time to share.

I was taught about Jamestown in the 8th grade in Virginia and if there was more than a paragraph that I had to memorize to pass a test I would be surprised that would of been in 1965 I got my education on Jamestown much latter in 2012 reading Bishop William Meade's book Churches and Families of Va. And there he writes of where the location was. Of Jamestown . There he and Antiquarian Randolph and a previous owner of the land identified its location as it was a peninsula but by Bishop Mead's time had become an island because the river . I think the York river had sweeped over the inland side if the peninsula. That book was publish in the 1850s but they may have explored the area in the 1840s
Being raised in Alexandria, Virginia, I learned the story of Jamestown in elementary school in about 2nd or 3rd grade. 1st grade focused on the alphabet, arithmetic, and drawing pictures with monstrous crayons. ☺
Just a passing mention in the 8th grade state history in Virginia in 1965 but I did retain 1619 as a date when slave trade , house of Burgesses was established. School is reading writing an Arithmetic and the rest you can learn on your own
I read the video description, and was thinking of the guy from the Wire, Pablo Schreiber, and couldn't believe it was him in the voiceover...thankfully I re-read the description before commenting. Thank you for sharing the video!
Not an archeologist, ICU nurse who has seen people with both hypo- and hypernatremia. If their only water was salty, during periods where they were not working physically, the salt could build up in their bodies, pulling fluid from brain cells and causing hallucinations and delusional thinking (see the stories from the survivors of the USS Indianapolis where people began drinking seawater and went insane). In times where they were physically working, the salt in their bloodstream would leech out in sweat; if they were trapped in the fort due to the Powhatan trying to drive out invaders, they might not have enough water and suffer hyponatremia, which can cause collapse. I have seen both as a nurse - crazy preacher told his church to go on a “water diet” and consume only water for a month. Well, of course, the people got hungrier and hungrier, and were chugging half a gallon of water at a pop. They literally washed all the salt out of their bodies, just about. We started getting in this huge group of folks and they were delusional, weak, unable to walk, kidneys going nuts, heart issues, diabetics going into coma...some of the sickest people I ever saw. When idiot then tried it again, he told them to drink salted water. That was worse. There may have been other issues as well, but I think their main issue was deranged electrolytes.
"...crazy preacher told his church to go on a “water diet” and consume only water for a month" and then "...he told them to drink salted water."...shame that this really didn't surprise me or shock me the way it should have.
Jamestowne was not taught because the South lost. And the South could not be the start of our country because it rebelled. The Yankees could not stand or suffer the thought so they lied.
The history and formation of this country is what separates it from literally every other country and the people that want the U.S to look more like the rest of the world will stop at nothing to erase our history and our uniqueness no matter what the cost and even if its the truth.
We studied Jamestown in the high School in Massachusetts back in the '80s. I'm surprised they're saying it was erased by Northern historians. We've all heard of Captain John Smith, haven't we? Seems like a statement designed to cause trouble.
Yeah I’m in norther and we were taught all about Jamestown. Everyone knows about John Smith and the myth of his relationship with Pocahantes who was 12 at the time. If there was a conspiracy to undermine or wipe out the history of Jamestown, it didn’t work. It became a Disney movie.
Its more that the reality of the Starving Time and the reality of Jamestown almost being a failure was hidden. Am from NY, learned about Jamestown but only learned the truth through family trips and a summer history thing at William and Mary. Even back in the 1600s, people tried to erase the truth of starvation and cannibalism during the second Starving Time. Disney made it out that everything was great and everyone ended up getting along.
When they came to america , we lost new Amsterdam . And new york was Born And in that time If I Follow you good there was much weather influences on the world becaise of Solar influence My family tracveled to in that time , generrstion on generatiin is told About the weather in that time Thanks So much for making puzzels complete 👊🏼 Keep up the good work ☃️🙆🏼♂️👌🏼
It's fun to visit Jamestowne. It's been a while since I've been there so I can only imagine how much they have found at the archeological excavation site since I was last there in 2013
So tell me…. *how can Jamestown be the “birthplace” of the United States if nobody survived there??* I understand that there are historians who want to take the Pilgrims’ huge achievement away from them, but Plymouth Colony is the _true_ birthplace, because they managed to *SURVIVE.* To support this, The Mayflower Society estimates that there are 10 MILLION DESCENDANTS of the original group of Pilgrims who survived…..how many are from Jamestown?? I would really like to see a real historical documentary about Jamestown without the romanticized spin, but I’m not interested enough after hearing that unsupportable statement at the very beginning to stick around to hear what kind of spin they put on the evidence of cannibalism found on the excavated bones of those who didn’t survive.
Fawkes did not try to blow up the British Parliament. It was the English Parliament since England/Wales was not politically joined with Scotland until the 18th century.
@@tonyathomas9540 Schreiber is a respected classical actor. I think he was robbed when he was nominated but did not win a Golden Globe or Emmy for his role as Ray Donovan.
Always realize that if you are different than "those", they will never treat you any better than they treat their own. AmerIndians found that out in spades. "Material Progress at any price..." the internal mantra of Jamestown Colonizers. Still at the heart and core of US Society and Culture.
I remember seeing part of this on PBS. It's very interesting. Every time, I watch one of these shows whether it's travels to America or those that went West, I always think about how weak most people have become. People of the past were strong & survivors. Now, take a look around!
Honestly, the weaker people died on the way to America or never made it board. It was standard practice that if you cannot stomach the harsh reality and overcome it, you just die!!!
If the settlers had problems with finding adequate food, could they have suffered from scurvy? It seems strange that the settlers starved in an environment that could provide fish, oysters, wild berries, etc. Also, men with military training usually know how to set up latrines that do not pollute the water supply? Dysentery and typhoid are diseases that can be traced to contaminated water. Is it possible the colonists had so little experience in setting up camp?
@45:28 - There is a county in Maryland named after the Arundels - also, the Catholics who settled Maryland set up their colony at St. Mary's, which is up the Chesapeake Bay, less than 100 miles from Jamestown by water. Quite the coincidence.
Is a GREAT vid, and man they never really know the truth, but lots of outside factors too, and they were not prepared for the new world and the change in climate.
Sue Taft I don’t believe in the “climate “ change that is being pushed by the main stream narrative. I do believe in climate in constant flux and shifting back and forth all on its own. ie volcanic activity sun flares etc. As for being prepared for hardship that’s how they lived normally. Mismanagement on the other hand was huge. And selection of a poor site also factors in things going wrong at first.
A bit of the "Hail Mary" said at the beginning of this documentary is not accurate. The Jamestown colonists, like the vast majority of Englishmen, were Anglicans who followed the Book of Common Prayer. As Protestants they wouldn't have been saying the Hail Mary.
I just this week found out that I am long related to John Thomas Clay V who was born in Monmouth England 1587. He arrived at Jamestowne Virginia via a ship named Treasurer in February 1613 and settled in a place named Charles City County. He is listed as an "Ancient Planter". There are several logs and information that I've yet to go through and also am having trouble reading the documents. He was a Clay who who I'm related to on my father's mother's side. Not sure yet what I'd call his relation (eg: great great etc uncle etc) but as said I just found this information out about 5 days ago so I hope to learn even more when I have time. So very interesting and wondering when the Clay's ended up in north Florida and south Georgia where they still currently live,myself included. I've always been into history and it's so fascinating to see when and where your family tree starts. I couldn't afford using the ancestry sites and I'd heard the Mormons are notorious archivists. They have so much information to trace your lineage and it's free! So far no Mormons have come knocking at my door since setting up an account with the LDS genealogy site. If anyone here comes across this and is also related to this man please comment ! Here's a basic synopsis of his info... "John Clay (or Claye) is said to have been born about 1587/88 in Monmouth, Wales or England. Also said is that he died Apr. 7, 1655 - 60 in Charles City, Virginia. He was known (by later researchers) as Captain John Clay,"
The town where I come from in Maine was settled in 1604. Jamestown was the first English speaking colony. French fur traders first settled in the St. Croix valley in 1595.
I wonder about the ball in JR’s knee. Even with a low charge of powder it seems it should we’ll pass through a knee unless well over fifty yards away. That begs the question as why a leg shot. At a hundred yards a leg shot should be in the accuracy of a matchlock small arm. However English, Dutch and French traders were trading off the coast of America before James Town was founded. Why would we think Indians didn’t have access to snaphaunce guns?
I learned far more about Jamestown in school than I did the pilgrims, so I think it’s strange that the video states that hardly anyone does. I’m also wary of a lot of the supposed history. “Bloody phlox” is one of the final stages of starvation. Guy Fawkes was not the ringleader of the gunpowder plot, just the one who got caught. Women didn’t ingest arsenic to look beautiful (although it was an ingredient in some cosmetic powders), and carrying around rings full of poison was largely a Victorian invention of the past. All in all, interesting, but full enough of factual errors to make me doubt their conclusions.
Fun to watch, thanks for posting this. They found things at the site, but didn't really prove much to me. Also this wasn't really the maunder minimum yet, though they did talk some about bad weather. It looked more like poor hygiene and possible sabotage.

Pherd Linn Don’t speak with authority about things you have no expertise in.
We certainly studied Jamestown as the second English Colony. The first being the lost colony in what is now North Carolina. Indeed, the Pilgrims were aiming to settle further south....
Seems my ancestor arrived with John Smith and became a translator and married a daughter of some chief up the river a ways. He was one of the few survivors of the first boat load. John Dod who had a son = Dodson.
It was originally intended that the Pilgrims were to go to Jamestown because people willing to work and farm were desperately needed there. it was not a hard decision for them to stop instead at Plymouth Rock and fend just for themselves instead of for a bunch of gentlemen adventurers.
I cannot understand what in the hell difference it would make to a history text; the beginnings of our nation ? Am I losing my mind ? What does the civil war have to do with Jamestown ? Who the hell cares ? Personally, I want to know what the 'truth' is; not what suits someone else's prejudice.
@devildog1982z people need to start using their brains. Russia is for real paying people to post bs online to get people angry to destroy the USA. I think it's working. Think!!!
A bit puzzled by the comments about Liev Schreiber. Obviously it's him, his voice is distinctive to say the least. It does sound a bit higher pitched than usual. He's narrated scores of documentaries I've seen on PBS and HBO. I much prefer him to Peter Coyote who does Ken Burns docs.
Yes. And Psychopaths always rise to the top of any establishment, even your local Neighborhood Watch will have its founder ousted eventually. So who shot JR and why? JR (in this video) was either a psychopath who caused unrest and was shot, or another Psychopath shot him because he spoke up about some unfairness. Psychopaths by nature are risk takers and opportunitists, and there have got to have been some who made that voyage to James Town
Thank God for people like you and others who are still willing and able to use their gifts to spread the real truth to the masses in a simple way that we can understand. And this happened BEFORE we were "altered" through Diet, Injections & Injunctions! “Imagine yourself if you can, becoming conscious that you are gradually losing your manhood; that your mind is rapidly deteriorating so that you are no longer capable of thinking clearly; unable to plan your future actions. Your resistance is becoming so weakened that you are no longer master of yourself. In short, you are rapidly developing into a moron, a robot, a zombie, readily subject to the dictates of others...” Bertrand Russell’s 1953 book The Impact of Science on Society is cited by Clymer as one example of the elite’s desire to dominate the masses. Russell stated that under scientific tyranny, “Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible.” ~ 1958 The Age of Treason by Dr. Clymer I CHOOSE... BOOM!

I was taught about Jamestown in the 8th grade in Virginia and if there was more than a paragraph that I had to memorize to pass a test I would be surprised that would of been in 1965 I got my education on Jamestown much latter in 2012 reading Bishop William Meade's book Churches and Families of Va. And there he writes of where the location was. Of Jamestown . There he and Antiquarian Randolph and a previous owner of the land identified its location as it was a peninsula but by Bishop Mead's time had become an island because the river . I think the York river had sweeped over the inland side if the peninsula. That book was publish in the 1850s but they may have explored the area in the 1840s
@@robertbrawley5048 I remember hearing that bit myself - about the peninsula part.
Yes I graduated high school in 77 and I went to 6 years of college. My point being that I had always heard about Jamestown
Being raised in Alexandria, Virginia, I learned the story of Jamestown in elementary school in about 2nd or 3rd grade. 1st grade focused on the alphabet, arithmetic, and drawing pictures with monstrous crayons. ☺
From Pennsylvania. We where taught this. I’m 62.
Just a passing mention in the 8th grade state history in Virginia in 1965 but I did retain 1619 as a date when slave trade , house of Burgesses was established. School is reading writing an Arithmetic and the rest you can learn on your own
Dana Westwolf didn’t you say that same thing on another post.
@@billharpster7968 IM 62 ALLSO, LEARNED THE SAME THING IN VA. HISTORY. 4TH GRADE.
I read the video description, and was thinking of the guy from the Wire, Pablo Schreiber, and couldn't believe it was him in the voiceover...thankfully I re-read the description before commenting.
Thank you for sharing the video!
We learned as much about Jamestown as we did about that town founded in 1565.
Ya know. St Augustine.
Which was before Jamestown.
Astonishing documentary, thanks for uploaded it. Greetings from Cali, Colombia
Not an archeologist, ICU nurse who has seen people with both hypo- and hypernatremia. If their only water was salty, during periods where they were not working physically, the salt could build up in their bodies, pulling fluid from brain cells and causing hallucinations and delusional thinking (see the stories from the survivors of the USS Indianapolis where people began drinking seawater and went insane). In times where they were physically working, the salt in their bloodstream would leech out in sweat; if they were trapped in the fort due to the Powhatan trying to drive out invaders, they might not have enough water and suffer hyponatremia, which can cause collapse. I have seen both as a nurse - crazy preacher told his church to go on a “water diet” and consume only water for a month. Well, of course, the people got hungrier and hungrier, and were chugging half a gallon of water at a pop. They literally washed all the salt out of their bodies, just about. We started getting in this huge group of folks and they were delusional, weak, unable to walk, kidneys going nuts, heart issues, diabetics going into coma...some of the sickest people I ever saw. When idiot then tried it again, he told them to drink salted water. That was worse. There may have been other issues as well, but I think their main issue was deranged electrolytes.
"...crazy preacher told his church to go on a “water diet” and consume only water for a month" and then "...he told them to drink salted water."...shame that this really didn't surprise me or shock me the way it should have.
💖 Love your presentation!
My grandparents grandparents on my father's side arrived in America through Jamestown. All of my family is from West Virginia.
Jamestowne was not taught because the South lost. And the South could not be the start of our country because it rebelled. The Yankees could not stand or suffer the thought so they lied.
The history and formation of this country is what separates it from literally every other country and the people that want the U.S to look more like the rest of the world will stop at nothing to erase our history and our uniqueness no matter what the cost and even if its the truth.
We studied Jamestown in the high School in Massachusetts back in the '80s. I'm surprised they're saying it was erased by Northern historians. We've all heard of Captain John Smith, haven't we? Seems like a statement designed to cause trouble.
Yeah I’m in norther and we were taught all about Jamestown. Everyone knows about John Smith and the myth of his relationship with Pocahantes who was 12 at the time. If there was a conspiracy to undermine or wipe out the history of Jamestown, it didn’t work. It became a Disney movie.
I never knew about it until I was an adult. I was raised in public schools in Kansas City in the 1970s and 80s.
Its more that the reality of the Starving Time and the reality of Jamestown almost being a failure was hidden. Am from NY, learned about Jamestown but only learned the truth through family trips and a summer history thing at William and Mary. Even back in the 1600s, people tried to erase the truth of starvation and cannibalism during the second Starving Time.
Disney made it out that everything was great and everyone ended up getting along.
When they came to america , we lost new Amsterdam .
And new york was Born
And in that time If I Follow you good there was much weather influences on the world becaise of Solar influence
My family tracveled to in that time , generrstion on generatiin is told About the weather in that time
Thanks So much for making puzzels complete 👊🏼
Keep up the good work ☃️🙆🏼♂️👌🏼
Fascinating. Thank You!
Most interesting and a new spin on what happened. I’ve never heard the poisoning aspect of Jamestown. In fact we’ll never know for sure what happened.
When we get to the other side we will know.
It may also account for all of the early deaths at Plymouth, too. I have ancestors at both Jamestown and Plymouth.
It's fun to visit Jamestowne. It's been a while since I've been there so I can only imagine how much they have found at the archeological excavation site since I was last there in 2013
This seems to show that solar minimums are more benevolent then politics. Good point to keep in mind during survival scenarios.
TheManny1952 don't back down. Never quite. Shut your mouth and open your eyes make your own destiny and thrive. That's my plan.
So true so true. Even in my dreams I chase my devil's till they run away.
Than vs then
Actually, Fort Caroline predates Jamestown by 45 years. But, no one has actually found where it was located.
So tell me…. *how can Jamestown be the “birthplace” of the United States if nobody survived there??* I understand that there are historians who want to take the Pilgrims’ huge achievement away from them, but Plymouth Colony is the _true_ birthplace, because they managed to *SURVIVE.* To support this, The Mayflower Society estimates that there are 10 MILLION DESCENDANTS of the original group of Pilgrims who survived…..how many are from Jamestown?? I would really like to see a real historical documentary about Jamestown without the romanticized spin, but I’m not interested enough after hearing that unsupportable statement at the very beginning to stick around to hear what kind of spin they put on the evidence of cannibalism found on the excavated bones of those who didn’t survive.
Thank you 💎 😘
Excellent!
Fawkes did not try to blow up the British Parliament. It was the English Parliament since England/Wales was not politically joined with Scotland until the 18th century.
Yes, I got so fed up with the narrator referring to the 'British', that I was compelled to give an otherwise interesting film a big thumbs down.
That was pretty cool. I had no idea. Thanks!
Liev could read me the phone book
It doesn’t sound like him to me, it says it’s him but he doesn’t sound like Ray Donovan lol
@@tonyathomas9540 he's really young but I think it's him
@@tonyathomas9540 Schreiber is a respected classical actor. I think he was robbed when he was nominated but did not win a Golden Globe or Emmy for his role as Ray Donovan.
Always realize that if you are different than "those", they will never treat you any better than they treat their own. AmerIndians found that out in spades. "Material Progress at any price..." the internal mantra of Jamestown Colonizers. Still at the heart and core of US Society and Culture.
I remember seeing part of this on PBS. It's very interesting. Every time, I watch one of these shows whether it's travels to America or those that went West, I always think about how weak most people have become. People of the past were strong & survivors. Now, take a look around!
Did you watch this?! These people were horrible for the most part.
Honestly, the weaker people died on the way to America or never made it board. It was standard practice that if you cannot stomach the harsh reality and overcome it, you just die!!!
Hey they were so ‘smart’ they died by scores because they didn’t have good water.
Past GOOD! Present, BAD!
Has this video been shortened or edited? Where is the other video explaining canons being used from a colonial ship anchored off shore?
If the settlers had problems with finding adequate food, could they have suffered from scurvy? It seems strange that the settlers starved in an environment that could provide fish, oysters, wild berries, etc. Also, men with military training usually know how to set up latrines that do not pollute the water supply? Dysentery and typhoid are diseases that can be traced to contaminated water. Is it possible the colonists had so little experience in setting up camp?
Love Liev's narration.
@45:28 - There is a county in Maryland named after the Arundels - also, the Catholics who settled Maryland set up their colony at St. Mary's, which is up the Chesapeake Bay, less than 100 miles from Jamestown by water. Quite the coincidence.
Is a GREAT vid, and man they never really know the truth, but lots of outside factors too, and they were not prepared for the new world and the change in climate.
@Dana Westwolf TO WHAT,GO ON PLEASE,,,,,,,
Sue Taft I don’t believe in the “climate “ change that is being pushed by the main stream narrative. I do believe in climate in constant flux and shifting back and forth all on its own. ie volcanic activity sun flares etc. As for being prepared for hardship that’s how they lived normally. Mismanagement on the other hand was huge. And selection of a poor site also factors in things going wrong at first.
I'm 70 now, and I was taught this history half a century back rather incorrectly I am learning.
I’m also 70 and are all learning about Jamestown, not to this detail, however.
I love the history lesson! Can we please all learn from our past.
Dana Westwolf Not enough time in the day to tell how wrong that is.
Dana Westwolf 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hands up ... I can’t breathe! Try again.
@Dana Westwolf pious
Dana Westwolf that is so wrong on so many levels.
Nope,the libtards will not allow such things, don't ya know.
one of my favourite actor Liev Schreiber.... But he is a great narrator also
I'm in my early 60's, grew up and went to school in upstate NY...and we were taught about Jamestown and Plymouth...
My 10th great grandfather, John Chandler arrived at the age of 9 in 1610. He arrived with Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr.
He lived until the 1658.
I'm 66 years old and attended public schools in Illinois. I was taught about Jamestown, so I question the veracity of some of these "experts".
I never realized the counselor from Intervention was also an archeologist.
Thank you very mych.
A bit of the "Hail Mary" said at the beginning of this documentary is not accurate. The Jamestown colonists, like the vast majority of Englishmen, were Anglicans who followed the Book of Common Prayer. As Protestants they wouldn't have been saying the Hail Mary.
I didn't know Liev Schreiber does voice overs!
I just this week found out that I am long related to John Thomas Clay V who was born in Monmouth England 1587. He arrived at Jamestowne Virginia via a ship named Treasurer in February 1613 and settled in a place named Charles City County. He is listed as an "Ancient Planter". There are several logs and information that I've yet to go through and also am having trouble reading the documents. He was a Clay who who I'm related to on my father's mother's side. Not sure yet what I'd call his relation (eg: great great etc uncle etc) but as said I just found this information out about 5 days ago so I hope to learn even more when I have time. So very interesting and wondering when the Clay's ended up in north Florida and south Georgia where they still currently live,myself included. I've always been into history and it's so fascinating to see when and where your family tree starts. I couldn't afford using the ancestry sites and I'd heard the Mormons are notorious archivists. They have so much information to trace your lineage and it's free! So far no Mormons have come knocking at my door since setting up an account with the LDS genealogy site. If anyone here comes across this and is also related to this man please comment ! Here's a basic synopsis of his info...
"John Clay (or Claye) is said to have been born about 1587/88 in Monmouth, Wales or England. Also said is that he died Apr. 7, 1655 - 60 in Charles City, Virginia. He was known (by later researchers) as Captain John Clay,"
Monmouth is in Wales I think
very educational a very well explained video
Can you imagine being the indigenous people chilling at the outskirts of Jamestown watching all these people go nuts on each other..😶
The town where I come from in Maine was settled in 1604. Jamestown was the first English speaking colony. French fur traders first settled in the St. Croix valley in 1595.
St Augustine founded in 1565. So, yeah, lots of history shoved aside to make room for those pilgrams!
St. Augustin in Florida 1565
I remember we covered Jamestown extensively. Utterly unprepared people very disillusioned
Imagine being at sea for 5 months.
Imagine being in the us navy and being at sea for 8 months +
Pussy
On a modern ship! Wowy🤣
Spent 175 of 189 deployment at sea in 2002 on USS Wasp LHD 1
Being at sea for 5 months with no toilets and showers...lice and who knows what else. The smell of history must be vomit inducing.
Always a good thing to learn the TRUE facts about the beginning.....
True facts as opposed to false facts
The oldest continually settled English town in America is Plymouth, MA.
@Back Woods Brady #CrickMafya Continually settled, as in not abandoned.
I wonder about the ball in JR’s knee. Even with a low charge of powder it seems it should we’ll pass through a knee unless well over fifty yards away. That begs the question as why a leg shot. At a hundred yards a leg shot should be in the accuracy of a matchlock small arm.
However English, Dutch and French traders were trading off the coast of America before James Town was founded.
Why would we think Indians didn’t have access to snaphaunce guns?
Never realized Liev was this Narrator. I always picture him as Sabertooth
I was shocked when I found out too. I had always imagined an old man....and then DAMN! I'ts Ray Donavan!😍😍
Doesn't sound like him to me
@@1aikane That is exactly what I was thinking..Maybe there is another Liev Schreiber or it's his dad?
Strange that the opening scene depicts these settlers praying to Mary. These settlers were not Catholic. Only Catholics pray to dead people.
Did poisonings occur at Fort Comfort?
A most excellent documentary 😷✌️
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it
I think this was based on the Nat.Geo article i have..this elaborates on the most recent dig..
Eventually, the Virginia Colonists did strike gold. The Golden Leaf. Tobacco.
I learned far more about Jamestown in school than I did the pilgrims, so I think it’s strange that the video states that hardly anyone does.
I’m also wary of a lot of the supposed history. “Bloody phlox” is one of the final stages of starvation. Guy Fawkes was not the ringleader of the gunpowder plot, just the one who got caught. Women didn’t ingest arsenic to look beautiful (although it was an ingredient in some cosmetic powders), and carrying around rings full of poison was largely a Victorian invention of the past.
All in all, interesting, but full enough of factual errors to make me doubt their conclusions.
Fun to watch, thanks for posting this. They found things at the site, but didn't really prove much to me. Also this wasn't really the maunder minimum yet, though they did talk some about bad weather. It looked more like poor hygiene and possible sabotage.
Pherd Linn Don’t speak with authority about things you have no expertise in.
My 10th great grandparents are buried in the churchyard there.
Interesting film, definitely. Nice day!!
We certainly studied Jamestown as the second English Colony. The first being the lost colony in what is now North Carolina. Indeed, the Pilgrims were aiming to settle further south....
Seems my ancestor arrived with John Smith and became a translator and married a daughter of some chief up the river a ways. He was one of the few survivors of the first boat load. John Dod who had a son = Dodson.
It was originally intended that the Pilgrims were to go to Jamestown because people willing to work and farm were desperately needed there. it was not a hard decision for them to stop instead at Plymouth Rock and fend just for themselves instead of for a bunch of gentlemen adventurers.
I cannot understand what in the hell difference it would make to a history text; the beginnings of our nation ?
Am I losing my mind ? What does
the civil war have to do with Jamestown ? Who the hell cares ?
Personally, I want to know what the 'truth' is; not what suits someone else's prejudice.
@devildog1982z people need to start using their brains. Russia is for real paying people to post bs online to get people angry to destroy the USA. I think it's working. Think!!!
This theory makes a lot more sense than ergot poisoning at Salem, yet that story can't be gotten rid of and this one apparently hasn't caught on. :/
A bit puzzled by the comments about Liev Schreiber. Obviously it's him, his voice is distinctive to say the least. It does sound a bit higher pitched than usual.
He's narrated scores of documentaries I've seen on PBS and HBO. I much prefer him to Peter Coyote who does Ken Burns docs.
Religion, Power, and Greed is the Achilles Heel of Homo Sapiens
Yes. And Psychopaths always rise to the top of any establishment, even your local Neighborhood Watch will have its founder ousted eventually. So who shot JR and why? JR (in this video) was either a psychopath who caused unrest and was shot, or another Psychopath shot him because he spoke up about some unfairness. Psychopaths by nature are risk takers and opportunitists, and there have got to have been some who made that voyage to James Town
temporarysanity You are correct.
I could listen to Liev Schreiber read a phonebook.
Exactly, isn't he the best?!!
Play more cowboys show
Super keep up
It's a very hypnotic tone.
you'd think they had enough sense to dig pits for toilets away from their source of water.
Thank God for people like you and others who are still willing and able to use their gifts to spread the real truth to the masses in a simple way that we can understand.
And this happened BEFORE we were "altered" through Diet, Injections & Injunctions!
“Imagine yourself if you can, becoming conscious that you are gradually losing your manhood; that your mind is rapidly deteriorating so that you are no longer capable of thinking clearly; unable to plan your future actions. Your resistance is becoming so weakened that you are no longer master of yourself. In short, you are rapidly developing into a moron, a robot, a zombie, readily subject to the dictates of others...”
Bertrand Russell’s 1953 book The Impact of Science on Society is cited by Clymer as one example of the elite’s desire to dominate the masses. Russell stated that under scientific tyranny, “Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible.”
~ 1958 The Age of Treason by Dr. Clymer
I CHOOSE... BOOM!
@Dana Westwolf to what?
"the sorts of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable". I suppose, if the authorities could actually agree on something.
Thank you
If this is Ray Donovan's Liev Schreiber, then I'm shookth. Voice over wizard.
odd0odium it’s not liev shreiber his voice is way deeper than that and has a different accent person who put that in the title has got it mixed up somehow
I believe it is Liev Schreiber. He is a consummate professional. I enjoyed his perfect pronounciation.
@devildog1982z wtf?why call me lazy what did i do to you?
I'm an Englishman, around 65 years old, and find religion absolutely infuriating, especially when devotees try to lecture us on what they believe is fact. It would seem that little has changed in that regard.
Thanks!
