Luo Anacker Village Travel Guide Luo Anacker's Missing Mystery

Luo Anacker Island is the place name of the early American colonies. A very strange thing happened here more than 400 years ago. /kloc-more than 0/00 colonists suddenly disappeared overnight, and all kinds of suspicions confused future generations. This is the tour guide of Luo Anacker Island.

Travel in Outer Banks, North Carolina, and spend the night on Ro Anaker Island.

Luo Island is small and weakly floating in the Atlantic Ocean. But it is not lonely or timid.

The west has the protection of the mainland, like the strength of the arm, and the east has the barrier of the outer dike to resist the cruelty of the waves.

Nature is here, creating a rare harbor for all living things and human beings. It is peaceful and full of vitality.

In the morning, the sun rises slowly from the mist.

The outer dike in the distance is surrounded by a bay, and the sea surface is as calm as a pool.

The red sunrise crosses the sky, shines on the sea and reflects on the lighthouse.

Several reed flowers on the shore, swaying gently with the autumn wind, are shining with golden light in the backlight of the morning light.

The trestle grows zigzag along the coast.

Around the cape, the yacht docked at the dock, waiting to run to the ocean, dance and soar with the waves.

Not far away, a medieval sailboat-"Elizabeth II" was moored.

It is so elegant, quiet and beautiful.

It seems to travel through time and space, taking us back to the distant past and telling the oldest mysterious story in America.

Sailing boat Elizabeth II.

(2) I guess there will be many beautiful things on the island, so I drove aimlessly on the island.

I met Fortelli National Heritage Park on the way.

We are not very sensitive to the history and humanities of North America. Out of curiosity, we turned around and looked around.

After a short drive, I felt dull and tense, and I didn't see anything rare.

In front of an ancient and primitive wooden house, when I saw the words "LostColony" written on the outer wall, a warm current surged in my heart.

As we all know, early immigrants from Britain and Europe are the main source of success in the United States today.

The "Mayflower" in 1620 is widely regarded as a symbol of early immigrants.

But it was neither the first group of immigrants nor the earliest settlement.

Is this the first colony to reach North America and then disappear into the air?

If it's such a coincidence, I should buy a Powerball right away.

Looking at the introduction of the park is really the oldest and most mysterious mystery in North America that countless historians and archaeologists have been searching for for hundreds of years.

(3) The story is not complicated.

Just because those people suddenly disappeared mysteriously, leaving no trace, can not help but make people daydream.

From this, countless bizarre stories are deduced.

The known and credible historical outline is roughly like this [1][2].

/kloc-At the end of 0/5th century, after Columbus discovered the New World of America, Spain gained a lot of gold treasures from Central and South America.

"Jealous" Queen Elizabeth I also wants a piece of the pie, hoping to establish a permanent British colony in North America.

1584, the queen chartered SirWalterRaleigh, who was responsible for establishing colonies, expanding territory and seizing wealth in North America.

So Raleigh sent a boat to explore the east coast of North America, although he had never been to North America in his life.

This is the first time that the British have set foot in North America, and the landing is Luo Island.

"It is the best land in the world because of its fertile soil and rich products."

In the log book, they wrote this sentence, which is their ideal paradise.

With the success of this expedition, in the second year, Raleigh sent people to lead more than 600 soldiers and sailors to March into North America.

But this voyage was not so lucky.

Repeatedly attacked by storms and hurricanes, several ships and some food supplies were destroyed, smallpox and other diseases broke out, and serious infighting led to mutual hostility. The relationship with Indian aborigines deteriorated and was attacked, forcing them to become more and more depressed and had to abandon Luo Island and withdraw to England.

The second expedition ended in failure.

1in July, 587, the "indomitable" Raleigh inspired 100 many colonists, with a yearning for freedom and a better life, in John Wyatt (John.

White) led the expedition and landed on Luo Island for the third time.

Only by having a good relationship with the local aborigines can we survive.

Bai is very clear and has made a lot of efforts.

However, feuds are difficult to resolve, and good wishes do not always achieve the expected results. One of the colonists was also killed by the natives.

At this time, their supplies are also in short supply.

1587 At the end of the year, White returned to Britain for rescue and supplies, regardless of the huge risk of crossing the Atlantic in winter.

The 1 15 colonists who crossed the Atlantic with him stayed in Luo Island. What about White's new granddaughter Virginia? Dell (Virginia

Dare), she is the first British child born in America.

Imagine what hardships, even death, are waiting for them in the desolate and desolate land.

Unfortunately, after the return of White Chess, the Spanish-English War (1585~ 1604) was in full swing.

In order to deal with the Spanish armada, Britain recruited all the British ships that could participate in the war, including White's ship.

Although White managed to buy two small boats in the spring of 1588, he planned to sail to Luo Island. But it was captured by the Spanish fleet, the goods were confiscated and the rescue failed.

The war continues.

It was not until August 1590 three years later that White finally led the fleet back to Luodao.

This is the third birthday of his granddaughter Virginia, and White is full of warm and happy expectations.

However, he was greeted by a deserted settlement. There are no signs of men, women and children, and there are no signs of fighting. All the houses and fortifications were demolished, indicating that they were in no hurry to leave.

The only clues are the word "CROATOAN" engraved on the fence behind the village and the letter "C-R-O" engraved on the tree next to it.

(4) Although the truth is unique and certain, others can't look directly at it and can only speculate through evidence.

Unfortunately, the evidence left behind is not complete, and with the passage of time, many evidences have been lost. In addition, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, which brings a lot of trouble to scientific research.

Since "known" can't dispel the doubt of "unknown", it will bring infinite imagination to "unknown" and make literary and artistic creation shine.

When speculating about the reason for the mysterious disappearance of Luo Anacker village, it is said that a plague broke out and the villagers fled in haste; It is said that he was attacked by pirates and became a prisoner; It is said that because of hunger, they wanted to go back to England by boat and ended up in the sea. It is said that they were enchanted by Indian wizards and collectively walked into the rough sea and drowned. There are also legends that they are integrated into Indian tribes and hybrids.

In literary language, it can be described as follows:

1590 One day in August, in the evening, White finally came back.

When they arrived, they saw the sudden emergence of wolf smoke in the village

This is a pre-agreed distress signal!

White was frightened to disgrace and had a premonition that something must have happened in the village.

It was already dark when the entourage entered the village.

I found all the doors open, candles lit on the dining table, and the cooked food on the stove was still hot.

However, the whole village, men, women and children, including poultry and livestock, all disappeared, as if suddenly disappeared without a trace.

No signs of enemy attack were found, and no signs of wildlife invasion were found.

I didn't find a drop of blood, a hair or a footprint.

In the surrounding Woods, neither new graves nor bodies were found.

When they arrived at the village, White ordered everyone to stop.

When the fire was lit, several unintelligible Chinese characters-"Croatian" were engraved on the fence.

"Croatian", Src: Wikipedia [1]

What does this mean?

Is it the curse of hell or the code of Satan?

The players have been scared out of their wits and their legs are weak. Desperate to escape from the village, quit the ship and rush to the depths of the ocean overnight.

White wrote an urgent report to the queen with trembling hands. "The devil took them away."

The sci-fi version can also be seen like this:

Mother Elena is in the kitchen, busy preparing dinner for the whole family.

Three-year-old Virginia, sitting in the yard, stroking the puppy crawling beside her.

They are inseparable friends.

Little Virginia's eyes are so clear, as if she could see a pure heart.

She looked up at the starry sky and the stars blinked at her.

Suddenly, a little star in the northwest jumped in the constellation Canis, as if breaking free from any bondage.

Then swim slowly to Shepherd's constellation and go straight through Hercules and Lyra, faster and faster, brighter and bigger, like an alien flying saucer.

After a while, the flying saucer flew to the coast and circled in the treetops at the head of the village.

Little Virginia was very curious, stared at it with wide eyes and waved to it.

The door of the flying saucer opened.

A beam of light, a gangway, slowly arrived in front of little Virginia.

A young girl came up to her from the gangway with a smile.

"Who are you?" Little Virginia asked.

"I am an angel. Shall I take you to play for a while? "

"all right."

So, they walked hand in hand to the UFO, and the gangway was put away bit by bit.

At this moment, Elena just came out of the room and lovingly called, "Virginia, go home for dinner."

When she suddenly found that little Virginia had gone to a UFO and the door was about to close, she was frightened to disgrace and shouted:

"Son, is my child! Give my child back to me! "

The screams alarmed all the men, women and children in the village, and people went out of their homes one after another, staring at what was happening in front of them, stunned.

Little Virginia also heard her mother's call and struggled to turn her head.

"Mom, I want my mother and my puppy."

The hatch was still closed and the UFO flew away.

Little Virginia is crying louder and louder.

People are desperate, prostrate on the ground and pray to heaven, may God bless them.

Suddenly, the flying saucer flew back.

A light appeared and enveloped the whole village.

All the villagers, as well as poultry and livestock, were sucked into the flying saucer by light waves.

The flying saucer spewed flames and flew rapidly towards the black hole of X 1 in Cygnus.

X 1 black hole is like a super magnet, which attracts flying saucers, little Virginia and villagers to another parallel universe.

(5) Before the truth comes out, the world can spread its wings of imagination and think wildly.

Hundreds of years have passed, and serious historians and archaeologists have never lost interest in deciphering the "lost colony".

The sensational "Dale Si Tong" story goes like this:

1937, a professor named H. Pearce Jr thought that he accidentally got the only evidence left by the colonists-Elaine White's daughter? White? Dale (Eleanor

WhiteDare) left a stone, which he called "DareStones".

On one side of the Dell stone is engraved "Ananias, Virginia, went to heaven, 159 1".

On the other side is Elena's letter to White.

"Father, not long after you went to England, in two years, half of the people died of disease, so we came here, leaving only 24 people EWD."

EWD is the abbreviation of Elena's full name.

Delhi, SRC: Brenauf. [4]

With good scientific training, profound attainments and considerable conceit, Dr. Pi believes that more Dell stones can be found, thus better proving their authenticity and thoroughly uncovering the mystery of the disappearance of Cairo residents.

Perhaps the suffering of those people more than 400 years ago was terrible, and there was a curse on the stone, which has affected it to this day.

Just when he was about to become famous and go down in history, a small mistake completely ruined Dr. Pi's future.

In the wild, he frantically searched for the second Dell stone, but found nothing. He came up with a "smart plan", offering 500 dollars for advertising to collect the Dell Stone.

At that time, it was a generous reward.

Soon a man named Harmon presented 4 1 diamond.

The words carved on the stone describe the experience and whereabouts of Luocun people, all written in the old English of Shakespeare's time.

If Dr. Pi got the treasure, he decided it was true.

For the sake of prudence, he convened experts from all over the country to demonstrate and come to the conclusion:

"These Dell gems cannot be forged."

It's fake, and it will be exposed eventually.

Except for the first Dell stone, there was no trace of chisel, and the iron chisel was the only carving tool of that era. Obviously, these are all done with electric drills.

The first Dell stone was chiseled out with a chisel, and the writing conforms to the characteristics of old English, even fooling the university professor who participated in the appraisal at the beginning.

An expert in ancient Chinese characters still found the clue. Single letter is the early style of modern English, not old English.

Originally praised by the media as an academic hero, he instantly became a shameless liar.

In a rage, Dr. Pi rushed to Harmon's house and scolded him. "You bastard, why did you lie to me?"

"Please, doctor, it's you who lied to you." Harmon sat in a chair and calmly replied, "You knew from the beginning that I was not a good bird. I have no strength to forge these things. "

"But I foolishly believed you!" Dr. Pi was livid and hideous.

"Well, I think you are very clever, Dr. Pierce." Harmon still looked disapprovingly. "You totally bet your chips on a stupid stone, didn't you?"

Before he died, Dr. Pi lamented, "I'm finished. I will leave the rest to future generations until I find them. "

(6) As long as human curiosity persists, the pace of exploration will not stop.

The excavation of "Site X" in recent years may bring some new clues.

In 20 12, the British Museum re-examined an ancient map of North America. According to textual research, it is a line drawing.

There are two patches on the map, and one of them does fix a mistake.

Another place hides shocking secrets.

Through modern technology, it is found that a castle-Sitex is painted under the patch, which is located in ChowanRiver, 80 kilometers northwest of Luodao.

Archaeologists excavated the site of X and found some pottery, handicrafts, flint guns, small copper pipes and metal hooks. , are relics of that era.

These evidences may prove that some Rhode Island colonists once moved here and lived here, instead of being slaughtered by Indians as generally believed before.

Others went to clotho 'an, Hatteras Island, southeast of Rhode Island, because similar relics were unearthed there, and they were mixed with Indian goods, indicating that they might be mixed with Indians and gradually assimilated.

However, some scholars believe that more work needs to be done.

(7) Personally, even if the truth is announced one day, it may not be the truth.

But anyway, if you are interested, you can join the army of exploration.

In your hands, you may have solved this puzzle and created great works.

At the moment, I just want to see the outdoor drama The Last Colony.

Lost colonial stills, src:thelostcoloni.org[6]

In the Raleigh Castle Ruins Park in Rhode Island, a huge seaside amphitheater was built.

Here, PaulGreen, a famous playwright and Pulitzer Prize winner, interprets the lost colony in dramatic language.

The play was first staged on 1937, which is called "the originator of outdoor drama". It lasts from late May to late August every year and has been performed for 80 years. It is the oldest outdoor drama.

This play can't be missed if it is in time for the performance season.

Seaside amphitheater

The drama "Lost Colony" will continue, and the journey of exploring American colonial history will not stop.

Next stop, we will go to Jamestown, the first colony in North America.
