Who got here because of the original video..Just watch the original video of the guy actually moving it..
My 9th Great-Grandfather immigrated from Dorset, England to Jamestown Colony, Virginia in 1619 on the Bona Venture. Died 1630 in Jamestown. He was from a long line of English Knights.
Very interesting video, however you have made one incorrect statement. The English Empire actually began in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, in 1583, when Sir Humphrey claimed the island for England.
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
The Starving Time, sounds lovely.
Read archives. Jamestown was the first English permanent settlement in North America. Poverty Point was the largest and first largest city in North America covered over 500 miles of now known as Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi
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.
I started this video, left the room, and came back, and he still hadn't said who it was. Way to milk that video for useless info.
As a decendants of the 1st Royal Governor of Jamestown Percy it's not to much out of the ordinary most of the early settlers had Royal Blood or Nobel Blood but not being the 1st Male in the family if you were the 2nd or 3rd or whatever Son you got Sqout other then a Title
"If you payed attention in English class" ... you would learn about language, not history. LOL,
I guess you missed English classes - ie paid not payed.
I suspect they did not find a body under this stone. The stone appears to be a mediaeval tomb or ledger stone which would have been inlaid with an engraved brass effigy of the original person for whom it was intended. It probably came from one of the disused monastery churches after the dissolution by King Henry VIII in the 16th century. Often large stones were used on ships as ballast material and this was probably taken for that purpose.
gee thanks MR. KNOWITALL
great video
So they uncovered the mystery of who is buried there but still don't know who it was. Awesome. Last time I checked 2 different possibilities come up just shy of a definitive answer but who am I?
Who came here after watching the series JamesTown
I loved that show!
Me
This would have been better if it had ending like Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Temperance Flowerdew? That was her name? I want to know more about her.
She later changed it to honeydew as her husband started to constantly say"honeydew this" and" honeydew that" frequently .I suspect she was a very confused woman.methinks
She was a stripper.
Go into Google and type in her name it tells you all about her
@@anihtgenga4096 LOL
0:45 I would have thought that you would learn about this in history class, not English class...
in Canada we call it social studies
Like!!!
"... paid attention in English class..." Shouldn't that be history class?
Absolutely! 😁
Magnificently entertaining and edifying: thank you!
the ones who were left probably were the ones willing to do stuff other people would not do ........the most ruthless survive this kind of thing....
My 9th grandfather arrived there in 1608 January 8th
One of my ancestors was Humphrey Hansford and was one of the founders of the Virginia Company, his son John Hansford later emigrated to Virginia and was known to have settled there with his wife Elizabeth Jands by 1630. They are believed to be buried in the nearby Cheesecake Cematery...and later their son Thomas Hansford was involved in Bacon's Rebellion and was order executed for his involvement with Francis Bacon.
Sir George yearly.
Skip to 6:00 died 1677
❤️❤️🧡🧡💛💛💚💚💙💙💜💜I LOVE YOUR VIDS 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Great vid!
Mrs. Meme
I did pay attention in ENGLISH class and it never really addressed HISTORY. Oops. ; )
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:
How did it crack.
Didnt unravel shit .
Blood on the river
I was hoping to see the contents..artifacts...
The Indian tribe (Powhatan) is not pronounced POW-HATTAN (I guess like Manhattan) but POW-A-TAN...
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.
Who stole the inlay is the question church should give it up to restore the stone of they have it...
i saw the inlay with my own eyes it has been stolen
Pow-‘a-Taun river.
well, if the tomb they are talking about was broken and then replaced with a new black stone his tomb today should have the same design to it right?
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.
I don't know about that but looking at the design on the stone, I'm thinking it was probably someone called Oscar?
when i was there around 1990 there was an iron piece on it that said member of the knights templar. has parts of it been vandalized or stolen?
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
I loved visiting the museum and walk through at Jamestown...really really a good day...they have a skeleton of a young man with a musket ball embedded in His leg...they deduce he died bc it was mortal wound hitting delicate large blood vessels.
so why you dont open the thumb
"If you paid attention in English class"? You mean history class?
The surname Yeardley is pronounced "YARD-lee."
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.
Isn´t that a Thors Hammer on the lid ?
It looks like it. I am about to look up the symbols of knights and the symbols that a hamor represents.
f his step grandson said they wanted the same inscription as on the broken tomb -- what broken tomb?
The stone is on it's way
You would not have learned about Jamestown in English class, hopefully you would have learned about it in history class. Do they still teach either of those subjects in U.S. schools?
I don't think they've taught actual history in American schools since 1970s, it's mostly their revisionist history.
should a brought in time team theyre good at movning muck
no mention of wolstenholme towne, they've changed or just plain ignored history, again
"Indulge" in cannibalism when 90% are starving to death? SMH
🚲 The word indulge make it seem like they arranged a fancy party for it and wore masks.👒
Fun trivia: By the time the English settled in America, the French and Spanish had already been here for over 100 years. So the Indians were not unaware of, or naïve about, Europeans.
The first country to have been colonised by England was Scotland after having the Stewart line disqualified and brought in interlopers from Europe.
But you didn't half go on and on a bit before you got to an inconclusive end.
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).
I think you ignored Scotland and Ireland when you say Jamestown was the beginning of the British Empire.
Interesting but I waited to see what if any human remains were found.
Why would I know any of this? I live in Australia! I knew of it because I love history! Oh boy you waffle on before getting to ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz oh nowhere because it's 1 person!
So, no body in the grave?
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
So I would have learned about Jamestown in English class? Really?
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!
Punch line at 6:19
My home town founded by spain in mid 1500s 😁
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.
I get the feeling this person wasn’t just a wealthy aristocrat, but was truly respected for being a good person that helped people and did great things for the colony. That’s an unsubstantiated opinion and could be totally untrue. Just put yourself back in the time. Folks went through a lot of trouble to honor this man, then move his remains and further honor him in a big way. That’s no small thing. I wish there was an inscription, some dialog to tell us more. This could be your ancestor. These people came here for freedom and a new way of life. I don’t think their intentions where to battle the natives or make them sick with European diseases.
I can’t imagine leaving my homeland permanently with a one way ticket to carve out a living in the wilderness with a handful of tools and supplies. Most of them didn’t make it and starved and froze to death.
I feel deeply for the Native Americans and the hell we wrought upon them either knowingly or innocently. Now we have this great nation of immigrants and I love our mixed-up crazy culture and the more we discover about our history, the better. It’s hard to document everything when you’re struggling to survive.
I’m proud to be German/Scottish/American and welcome everyone. Bring us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free. Hell yes. God bless America.
Sorry, I’m really sick, in a lot of pain and lying in bed dying and everything seems profound to me now. There won’t be any stone tomb in a church for me and that’s alright but I wonder who this guy was and why folks cared so much about him. Take care.
It's pronounced Pow-ha-tan
A man without armor in a Savage land,
Been there all this time then this lot got in and wrecked it (grave robbers)
Questions arise. Just noticed published a week ago. Below, DeeDee provides interesting information about her relative, Captain George Kendall. Video comments on 90% death in 1610 from 500 to 60) including cannibalism. Below, DeeDee comnents on abundant fish and wild life so no need for cannabilism. DeeDee also comments on abuse of native women (rape and trafficking), something that heartlessly disgusting, but unfortunately historically documented as common. They invaded territory not theirs, with intention of trading or stealing...or murdering and taking the land justifiably native land, setting a precedence for today's fiascos, with tiny fractions of land preserved as Native Reservations in both Canada and United States.).
at 2:43, why is the "restorer" kneeling on a visibly cracked lid, instead of standing on floor and reaching?
Notice the stone lid has the outline of a man thinly carved into the surface standing on a rectangular base. The carved out lower shape is clearly a different colour (perhaps something covered it, I asked.) Then I noticed there are clearly what look like drill holes...close to 20 of them only in the carved lower level shape. Is there a possibility there was a silver, bronze or copper plaque held in place on the lid, perfectly fitting inside the outline of man and rectangular platform?...and someone has removed it...stolen it, sold it, or archived it in Smithsonian, to be forever forgotten? Since it is for Knights, are they buried beneath the floor...still underneath that stone slab and no one checked.
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.
my relative where there in 1608 on the second supply ship
Larry Stallings mine showed up there to, about the same time. I traced mine back to Nathaniel Gibbs.
@@justinpreston8461 IT SAID DANIEL STALLINGS WAS A JEWLAR WHO MADE JEWLARY CAME OVER ON THE 2ND SUPPLY SHIP, THE OTHER STALLINGS WAS A BOAT CAPTAIN WHO WAS KILLED IN A DUEL OVER A WOMAN

wiped out from diseases.
In my church from 1669 we have one of those graves in the floor but the one we have is meant so that you walk over it because the person was quite bad.
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.
Looks like his bones
Are real thick his leg bones
Cremation is the way to go.
just decode the coat of arms on it upper right
next to no new information so wast of time
Have the experts figured out who’s buried in Grant’s Tomb yet?
Mark Lanzarotta General Lee
No one. One doesn't get 'buried' in above ground tomb; one is 'interred'
My history fails me for I did not know there were knights in America?
"Temperance Flowerdew".....sounds like a character from a terrible old English novel
The beginning of the end of my mothers people....sad
.
I think we would have learned about the failed English colony in History class, not English class!
Is Kermit the frog doing the narration?
Grave robbers. Why was it so important to know the deceased's name?
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!
Liars why not go to Plymouth Massachusetts where we really are and were no you can’t find one grave and call it truth.
Hey the two portraits you show that are soppose to be two DIFFERENT governors. It's the same guy!! Duh!
English class?
the Spanish had already populated Florida by 1550.
Paid attention in ENGLISH class????? Seems more like History to me.
It was Jimmy Hoffa.
I wouldn’t want my gravestone being disturbed
Nature Creator I don't need a grave stone, put my head on a stick, it's rock hard any way.
The music is stupid.
They more then likely caused this that’s what they DO !
sorry barf...... history class you arte kidding me they don't teach that anymore...
I'm sorry....'if we paid attention in ENGLISH class'?
This is boring. Get to the point faster.
I often skip ahead about 2 minutes, over the long winded intro.
they told nothing of the body and what they did with it
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
Skip to 5:00. Thank me later.
They shouldn't have killed my kid's
The first British Invasion.
Ireland says otherwise.
What happened to the lost colony... did giants eat them
Donna Clayman They were all noblemen and wouldn't work--- no work no eat.
America got no real history
if you look at that Stone, the motive looks like a hammer and maybe Thor's hammer. :)
hmmm 440 people from 500 is not over 90%.go back to school fool
why , on a seven minute video , this video goes on for six minutes of poo ? ? ?
americans made it
The y should leave THAT GRAVE site alone. I know things like a grave get moved. But since it's historic it SHOULD BE LEFT IN ITS HISTORIC SITE. not be moved by a bunch of "educated people" that want to use an excuse of study to move something that shouldn't be moved.
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?
🚲 No matter how much history and science rhetoric you use while you're doin it. It's still graverobbing.
They have enough degrees and diplomas to get away with it. And let's face it. Our curiosity is the only thing satisfied here.
"Indulged in cannibalism"? I think you need to acquire a better grasp of the English language.
Scarlet Fluer. it should have been "resorted to cannibalism."
It's not where the British empire began - try Ireland
GRAVE ROBBERS
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.
