Sir Humphrey Gilbert. Sorry about that.

It was not a permanent settlement until after 1630. At the time of his claim as an English colony there was no permanent population ,so Jamestown was the first official permanent English colony in North America

I guess you missed English classes - ie paid not payed.

Poverty point is one of many sites in the mound builder culture. The mound builder culture is wide spread, but there are 100s of other sites that are not the same city as Poverty Point, same culture, different city.

Elizabeth, a lot of places don't include a historical element in their spelling/grammar - aka English - classes

Elizabeth, not sure what you mean by "grade school" since that term means different things in different places, but I made it all the way through high school - grade 12 - without any historical aspects being discussed in English class. And if it did, it was to nowhere near the extent you seem to think is the norm.

Elizabeth V... It would depend on the schools you went to. In America, the value of the education one gets in public schools, depends a lot on where you live. The quality difference between schools, often in the same regional system, is very large. I would expect historical reference to Elizabethan England and to the Globe Theatre, but Jamestown does not strike me as something big on the literary map, more like something one would read about in American history classes. The quality of public education in many areas of America is abysmal, for a variety of reasons.

Woopsy ; )

That are why i caint right none to gooder:

I loved that show!

in Canada we call it social studies

gee thanks MR. KNOWITALL

hr 777 are you being a smartass?

no i am serious the same thing happened with The jade jaguar throne inside the Chichen Itza pyramid, Mexico tourists kept messing with the statue and someone actually pried the jewel in the eye out with a pocket knife so they had to put up iron bars to keep people away. there is always some jerk who spoils it for everyone else

It looks like it. I am about to look up the symbols of knights and the symbols that a hamor represents.

i saw the inlay with my own eyes it has been stolen

They lost so it doesn't MAT-TER.

It is too. Just listen.

Am with you, jeb!

Niagara is an Indian name that means, ''Hope your white ass falls in and drowns.''

They didn't lose squat, I'm still here. A direct descendant of Pocahontas and thusly, Wahunsonacock - my 11th great grandfather.

This is America

I'm American.

lol

Yes, and the James River's Indian name was pronounced POW-ah-tan. I'd love (or hate) to hear how this guy pronounced "Appomattox"!

Today it is. Back then? We're dealing with a time period when the English language, spelling, and pronunciation were in a great deal of flux. The Great Vowel Shift had only recently been completed (mostly), so to a speaker closer to Middle English , "Yeard-lee," would likely be the more correct pronunciation. The fact that the surname was often spelled that way is at least suggestive of that probability. Shakespearean English sounded far more like we imagine pirate speech to be, so the Yeard-lee pronunciation would have been far more likely.

I caught that, too. But our narrator doesn't clarify the conclusion. I'm thinking they never got that replacement stone and so used the broken one? And this broken one sounds like it never had brassworks on it, at least not since it arrived in Jamestown. Other commenters suggest this is a re-used stone, much older. Perhaps it always was a reject and never had the metal parts on it. The family liked it and tried to get an intact one.

Work ongoing, to meet a dealine of a major celebration of the site in 2019.

On July 24, 2018, archaeologists from Jamestown Rediscovery and the Smithsonian Institution announced the discovery of a prominent burial around 400 years old in an important spot within the church. Ground-penetrating radar confirmed the presence of a skeleton of the right age and build for Yeardley who died in 1627 aged about 40. They believe the remains could be those of Yeardley; attributing to the way the body was laid out, the prominent location within the church,[13] and the approximate age the person was when they died. Another church was built on top but the position indicates a high status burial. Although the head is missing, 10 teeth have been found and tests are being carried out by the FBI and archaeologist and geneticist Turi King, who helped identify the remains of Richard III in 2012. King is working on the team and will assist in tracking down Yeardley relatives to compare DNA found in the remains.[14] The results could take several months but should be available in time for 2019's 400th Anniversary of Sir George Yeardley's Great Reforms and the first General Assembly which introduced them.[15][16] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Yeardley

I think the first nation to have become an English (more correctly, Norman-French) colony would have been Wales or Ireland. Scotland managed to keep its independence right up until the battle of Culloden when the Scotland was invaded by the army of William of Orange (who had also successfully invaded England incidentally, though it's not usually portrayed as an invasion by English historians).

St. Augustine?

Mine in 1237. At least then it was first mentioned. I come from Berlin, Germany, ;and my part was a village until the early 20. Century and is founded and was lead for many years by the Templar Knights. Their cross is still our shield of arms. We are proud for being the only Templar Komturei in that part of Europe. The next is in Spain or so.

A man without armor in a Savage land,

I don't think they've taught actual history in American schools since 1970s, it's mostly their revisionist history.

Debbie Hagan Who's buried in grants tomb. I can't help it I'm crazy.

@@1845orange I had a history teacher who actually put that on a test!

Larry Stallings mine showed up there to, about the same time. I traced mine back to Nathaniel Gibbs.

The problem is that while game and such was abundant, it MAY have been that they weren't of the right mindset to handle it, though that seems a bit doubtful; they were anythhing but shrinking violets. It is certainly possible that they were hemmed in the fort by the local Indians. In 1622 the Indians raided the area, killing about a third of all the whites there, including Rolfe. Indian raids were a fact of life all over New England, and later the Ohio Valley (the Shawnee, there). Then there was the Revolutionary war where the Britisn used Indians as allies. While the initial impetus for coming over may have been religious, they certainly did not shun making a pound at the same time. It may please you to knoww that the villian of the story, self-proclaimed Governor Radcliffe, is said to have met his end for killing Powhattan's friend Kendall by being flayed using sea shells.

No, Kendall's death and the incidents about it are fairly well covered, probably as well as can be expected for the time and location; there's even a wikipedia page about him. Several of the residents wrote about it in known journals, and there were reports sent back to England - they were not yet as in extremis as they would be later. According to what I researched, he was buried with full military honors the next day, which means it must have been close to Jamestown, probably in their burial area, and that he did have his supporters at the time. I also read that his nemesis, one Ratcliffe, proclaimed himself as governor, and was later captured by Powhattan and flayed alive with clam shells. That's perhaps somewhat speculative, but he did disappear from other records soon after Kendall's death. There is no need to spin that as a conspiracy to erase him from the history of Jamestown. Why would they want to do that 400 years after the event? Jamestown has a lot of unsavory stories connected with it, I really don't think they'd try to suppress this one, and indeed, the story is out there.

So? You didn't mean to "spark interest" with your comments? No, I'm not a professional historian, I'm a retired engineer. That certainly doesn't mean that I refuse to use the tools that are right in my face. And, as a matter of fact, I knew nothing about Kendall, but now I do. I do have relatives among the Jamestown people, and in my genealogy research I did know something about the history of the place. Why is it a grave concern of yours what I knew and what I picked up since? Did I report anything inaccurately? No, they don't tell Kendall's story in grade/high school history, just the same as they don't say much about nuclear testing, or mitochondrial Eve, Cynthia Ann or Quannah Parker's travails in Texas, or the Salem Witch Trials. They simply don't have the time for all that. I personally believe they'd be a lot more successful if they did tell the storys and "fill in" with the Hapsburgs rather than vice-versa, but that's just me. So then you admit there are materials available about your relative's demise. What more could you be asklng for? Did you know, for example, that John Rolfe and his first wife and 120 others were marooned on Bermuda Island in the first rescue mission in 1708? That while they toiled to build small boats out of the wreckage to complete the voyage, she had a girl she named Bermuda (probaby the source for the name), and that she died before they finally got to Jamestown 11 months later? To paraphrase the tagline in a 30-years-ago TV show, "There are 300 stories in Jamestown colony. This has been one of them." Well, I hope I helped you some in your quest for information.

falcon you are right about that when i was there around 1990 there was an iron piece on it that said member of the knights templar. i think parts of it have been vandalized removed or stolen.

Well, whatever metal set into the stone, it wa valuble enough for someone to have entered the sanctuary and spirit it away.

This has nothing to do with being bad or good . You seem to have some local myth. Your people did not know about such stones and wanted to find an explanation for it. In other countries and other times these stones were normal.

Mark Lanzarotta General Lee

No one. One doesn't get 'buried' in above ground tomb; one is 'interred'

Glad your in my camp John. Thats the first place I went "" grave robbers "..But, the stone could have been accidentally cracked during construction of one of the newer churches. You know, something big fell on it. ( safety first ) in addition , did you notice the chiseled out area were supposedly the figure of a " Knight ?" is. Its pretty obvious that there was something there. Probably a sterling silver engraved plate. Might have been inlaid with some Semi Precious Stones. But there was definitely something there.

Thanks, good stuff.

john scallan Didn't see them removing a body as that is what grave robbers do. Just fixed a grave stone that had already been vandalized and badly repaired.

Thanks.

john scallan ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

Ireland says otherwise.

Nature Creator I don't need a grave stone, put my head on a stick, it's rock hard any way.

Maybe because it either a) was never there or b) they didn't do anything with it This video was about restoring a stone, not about taking anything

Donna Clayman They were all noblemen and wouldn't work--- no work no eat.

Do you even know what a grave robber is? Because the people talked about in this video arent that

yep leave the dead alone wont you its grave robbery.

william mccann maybe watch the video again. Because the people in it aren't robbing anything

stop messing around in folks grave its all the same to me

william mccann did you even watch the video? They restored the grave marker. They didn't do anything at all to or in the grave itself.

americans made it

Wait, so you have such a big hate-on for people who care about learning or history, that you either didn't watch the video at all or didn't listen to a word said in it?

Yeah, who wants to be one of those "educated people"? Much better to stay stupid, and be better able to relate to the majority our fellow citizens.

Them moving it means it will be around for another 400 years for future generations to learn and study the beginnings of this nation I’m sure the person in that grave would prefer that over being forgotten about

kramster The only thing that was moved was the monumental stone, on top of the grave. That was moved to the site where the restoration work was to be done. Work that could not be done out side in the tiny corner the grave is situated in. There were probably no remains in the grave. Otherwise DNA evidence may have given them a final for sure identity of the one buried there. That is a very wet place, even bones rot in a few years. So, the stone was removed for restoration. Nothing to be bothered about, unless you believe in angry ghosts or such things.

Who said anything about moving the actual grave?

Scarlet Fluer. it should have been "resorted to cannibalism."
