Ft Caroline fort recreation exists in Jacksonville, within the Timucuan Preserve. Also, a recreation of this stele @ 26:58 exists on a high bluff overlooking the St Johns river, with great views for Florida. The stele celebrates the meeting between Timucuan tribes and Jean Ribault, French explorer, hence its name the Ribault column. This also lies within the Timucuan Preserve in Jacksonville, Florida.
Good information! I own the largest spring in FL and it was the Capitol of the Timucua and the Utina. This can be verified by the largest battle in FL history at Napituca which was down the road from my property at one of the connected Group springs.
I have long wondered about the lack of agriculture among the earliest people in Florida, and pondered if it was because food was so easily had from the huge estuaries on the east coast.
I was reading one reference that suggested that the runaways from slavery brought agricultural knowledge, farming and animal husbandry with them. Their survival technology helped them to fit in to and gain acceptance and alliance in accordance with the existing nation of people who already had patterns in technology, behavior and dress useful in exchange to adaptation to the harsh environment of Florida. Even today we may need to learn certain styles from them as we have stopped the blanketing injection of toxic insecticides from bomber class air craft into the air to "protect" people from environmental hazards.
😊 right! Plus the depictions were made of St John's bluffs and back then they were over 110 ft tall there's pictures from the turn of the century late 1800s in the early 1900s of the St John's South Bank bluffs where the Fort Caroline original site is located and you can tell in the pictures that they're over 95 ft tall and pretty much vertically steep you couldn't even climb them they were so Sandy and the vegetation you might be able to cling to it and climb the stickers and stuff but it was pretty formidable mound it was actually considered a mountain or a mount they have names when they conquered for Caroline they renamed the San Mateo for added on to the Fort a little bit added a few bastions across the inlet there that could actually later on be used against them and the French recaptured it and then burned the whole Fort but they fired upon the Spanish from their secondary skin tower they built across the waterwaycan you read the accounts of the carpenter in Londonderry that escaped during the hurricane in attack they went across the inlet at low tide out ran the pike man that was trying to kill them the Spanish attackers and they climbed up what they said was a very steep embankment that was so tall they were able to look down into the fort and watched and witnessed the slaughter and they do not go back because of what they were watching happen! So they boarded some ships they had stashed away down the river and they escaped! Unfortunately French explorer Ribault's son who is still at the Fort during the attack brought one of the small sleeps close by and tried to fire on the Spanish and he was actually fired upon by the Spanish with the French guns they had captured and they sank the boat and killed him and his sink right there in the little tidal Creek estuary next to the fort and the menendez he wrote in his journal that they had something to sleep but close enough to the store that none of the goods in the treasures inside of a lost apparently he had a little bit of Fortune with him but he lost everything including his life... But yeah they were Sandy embankments you can call them dunes they're more like dunes nowadays they're being washed away after they dredge the river and changed the title depth and change the river completely all the dredging spoils made islands like Blount Island and treaty Island those were never there back then the whole island is just the stuff they pulled from the center of the river but that made big tides come throughthat washed away the cliffs into the states still watching it away I have a time lapse on Google Earth from 84 the year I was born till 2023 and you can see the original site of Fort Caroline you can see the area and the tidal Creek that it existed at the end of and there was literally barely an access into the creek! But now because of the destruction and the dredging whatnot and the hurricanes being able to affect the landlord because of deeper water that was created during the judging the whole embankment is washed away the sand bars are gone they made some jetties and stuff to protect the area but it's really just slowly being withered away .. 😢
@@negotiator96Are you referring mostly to Fort Caroline or Heckshire Drive? When we were kids we used to ride bike on Sawpitt rd in Black Hammock island in mid 80’s and we would go to and climb the huge sand pitt. It was extremely high and looked like it had been dredged but I was always wondered what it looked like before it was dredged because my older cousin used to tell me about all of the fish life inside of it.

I have pottery shards that I’ve found around St Augustine that match other Timicuan pottery that I found on line

300 conquistadors around 1529 eat corn for the first time, their boat leave them there because of weather. were capture by the indians .
Fantastic video ❤
so good
The Timucaun archaeological evidence has a lot of continuity with the Foundational Black Americans, Black Seminole, Gullah Geechee People 🫶🏾
Maybe descendants of Anakim.
