Would it have been better if they displayed the artifacts as evidence of the intense “racism” of our region? Any legends that they don’t approve of are racist, don’t you know? At this point, most people believe this legend isn’t true, but there’s always that ‘what if’ factor that makes me wish the Smithsonian at least kept the “probably not true” items in a separate section. It’s frustrating hearing institutions claim “historically people hate anything they don’t understand.” And then do the exact same thing! Demonize entire groups of curious, adventure seeking people just because the city dwelling “academics” don’t understand why we value our own folklore even if it’s not true. It’s piece of history (like it or not) and a contributing to our desire to preserve the land. You’d think they’d appreciate it in that respect. But no, we’re all just dumb, racist, country bumpkins to them.

Hello! I really enjoyed your extremely informative video. I have heard about Prince Maddoc before. Here in Nebraska, we have a collection of paintings of the Mandan tribe. They settled in my area of Nebraska and then traveled up the Missouri River. They were very friendly with the European explorers, but the whole tribe became ill from one of the diseases that came with the explorers. There is a park in Omaha named in their honor. It is along a bluff overlooking the Missouri River, and I can't help but think that might have been one of their settlement sites. If I remember correctly, many of the River names in New England, especially Maine, have names very similar to Welsh names.

I have a book written in the 1880s which mentions the discovery of several giant skeletons near Chillicothe Ohio a few years previous. The skeletons were between 6 and a half and 7 and a half feet tall and had larger teeth than any known humans and much thicker bones. The skulls were a quarter inch thick.

Thomas Jefferson specifically asked Lewis and Clark to pay attention for any evidence that the Welsh had previously been in the area prior to the American acquisition of the Louisiana purchase. The importance being that this would have given the British a potential claim to the new territory based upon a prior "exploration ".(Nevermind that the Natives had without question owned the land from the beginning of time!) On another note Jefferson also wanted them to look for evidence of Mammoths,Mastodons and other megafauna that he believed were possiby still alive. In the context of the times the Lewis and Clark expidention was akin to the "moon landing" of the 20th century.

I feel that the Vikings were the first outsiders to come to this land now called America. Another mystery is when the knight Templar came to America and befriended the Indians traded with and gave respect to the Indians, and the Indians also gave respect to the Knights Templar not out of fear yet due to the respect shown to the Indians.

I have a story about a leather stretched and framed with crude and interesting figures with an ancient parchment hidden inside that my mother bought me at an old antique barn in Port Washigton, Ohio. The letter eluded to a tribe far west of there that raised cattle and may have been from the only Survivor of the Gnadenhutten Massacre. A pale Indian of white descent was taking 3 cows to the people there who were starving Lenape. I did not realize about all this until much later in my life. The letter stated that the emissary was from a group called Maddo. I thought it was an Indian tribe. It hung on my wall as a young boy for years. It was very old.

There are many conflicting researchers, many conflicting dates, and many conflicting rabbit holes in the Madoc legend. I went with 1170 AD as that’s the date that has stood the test of time. I’m aware of “the two Madoc’s” legend as well. There is no artifact, or collection of artifacts, that provide an exact date that everyone likes. Most of the claims are based on a series of leaps, all of which cannot be verified. What’s a film maker to do? I stuck with the basic story, that’s been told for over 200 years of Indiana history, and kept the date that resonates with most people.

Her father and brother found it entangled in the roots of a tree. People don't seem to realize there were a lot of explorers coming and going.

Fascinating! What strikes me about the inscriptions on the Brandenburg Stone is how much they resemble Old Norse Runes! Looking at the timeline, it is understood now that circa 1000 AD, the Norse (Vikings, in other words) established a settlement at L'anse aux Meadows, at the northernmost tip of Newfoundland. There were at least three known expeditions by the Norse to that area of what is now Canada. The first was led by Leif Erikson, and the second by his brother Thorvald Erikson (who, according to the Saga, was killed in a battle with the indigenous people, by an arrow that struck him in the armpit and entered his chest. The third expedition was promoted by their half-sister Fredis Eriksdottir. All three expeditions simply failed due to being too small in population to prevail in conflicts with the indigenous peoples, but which were documented in at least two Sagas which exist today. Now, if we consider that at the same approximate historical time period the Vikings were raiding and establishing encampments in present day Britain. Could it be possible that copies of the Greenland and Iceland Sagas could have found their way to ancient Wales, where they could have come to the attention of Prince Madoc, and which may have inspired his expedition to the New World?

When I take all the evidence together, I would be inclined to cite Viking settlers before Welsh, in southern Indiana. White Indians with gold hair, Roman coins from plunder, even a rune stone found near the Ohio River. But many European groups could’ve made the trip. Just because we can’t find documentation, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. 🙂

I first learned about Prince Madoc from reading a historical novel, about Owain Gwynedd AP Gruffydd, 1137-70, a Welsh King, who had at least 6 illegitimate children, of which Madoc was one. The novel prompted me to do research of my own, as I had never heard of this “legend” before. It is certainly plausible that it is true, and the fact that his father had many, many issues with which to deal back home, AND Madoc was never going to be an heir, due to his illegitimacy, it makes sense as to why the “folks back home” were not necessarily concerned as why he and is entourage never returned. Who knows for certain?? Interesting tale to tell, but I’m not so certain as to whether or not Madoc actually existed, let alone made it all the way to “America”; if he did, is it really plausible the Aztecs & the Incas knew of him??

@AdventureswithRoger

10 ай бұрын

If Madoc existed, and was the first European the Aztecs and Incas had ever met, they would’ve at least thought of him as a curiosity, if not given him god-like status. I think of the Lewis and Clark expedition, in which York, an enslaved black man, was the first person native Americans had ever seen with skin that dark. They treated him like a god, and thus greatly helped the expedition. The Madoc story has a lot of rabbit holes. Some researchers place him in the Americas as much as 500 years earlier than 1170. While others, say he made two trips: one where he discovered North America, the second where he brought more settlers and supplies. Some researchers intermingle the Madoc story with the legend of Merlin, and it keeps on spinning until it’s utterly unbelievable. I chose to stick with 1170, and tell the basic story without much added.

The Smithsonian has a convenient way of losing articles that go against the modern narrative. They've done it from the beggining of the creation of the institutitution. I just wonder how many articles that they posses that they're keeping from the public. Probably million's, from my understanding of the ancient artifacts that were sent there by ordinary people. Just trying to find answers to their questions about what they're found laying about out in the fields that they were excavating or plowing especially back around Indiana and the Ohio valley. I imagine as time goes on, that many more discoveries wiil be found there eventually.

There seems to be as much a a history of scientific conservatism, rejecting outlier info that disproves long-held theories, as a huge inventory and poor record keeping. Indiana itself has an artifact collection in the millions, and has lost, purposely or by accident, more than a person can grasp. In my video about the Borden Museum, I detailed how many times the state collection has moved: at least 5 times in its history. I would’ve loved to have seen the early collection, when it resided in the statehouse basement. When I was a kid, it was at Ohio Street in a very grand building, that they outgrew. The new museum along White River is pretty sizable, but I’ve never seen their artifact storage.

When I was working at Louisville, a co-worker suggested Dana Olsen’s book. I was able to buy one at the Falls of the Ohio museum, even signed by the author for like $10! Now they are like $40 on eBay. Lots of good research!

Back well before the 1980's a farmer in Pennsylvania was talking to an archaeologist (a colleague of a relative of mine who was studying the pre-Columbus natives int he same area, and who noted the story in one of his archaeological reports that my mom had a copy of), and showed the archaeologist a rock that he had been using as a door stop in his barn for 10-20 years after finding it while plowing his field. The scientist did a rubbing of the unknown writing and sent it off to the University of Pennsylvania (I believe) to get it identified and translated. It turned out to be Punic, and was the gravestone of a man who was killed by the natives with a spear while hunting wolves for furs. Per the writing, the man was called "freckles" (in Punic) and was a christian, and the year was about 127 years after the death of Chirst. His hunting party had come here as they often did to collect furs, especially wolf fur as there was a good market for it near the Med. Sadly, while waiting on the identification and translation of the inscription , the farmer kept using the stone as a door stop in his barn, and a relative, learning of the possible value of the rock, stole it and sold it at a flea market.

They found an immense skeleton, and kept the bones in a basket, at the local grain mill. Anyone that dropped by, could sort through the bones, and souvenirs were given out to relatives. The basket totally disappeared after a flood, and you’d think a woven thing like that would float!

@@carriev1 My greatest regret in life, was having a lead on a southern Indiana cave, with artifacts, that fell through. A hunter found it, and we talked about going out there in the fall to take video. In the meantime, one of the universities found another such cave, took out all the artifacts, and told locals they weren’t allowed to go there. This left a very bad impression, and the next season, the hunter said “none of us want another university taking away history and telling us what to do.” There were beads and broken pottery fragments on the floor, and would have been a dream to see. But he didn’t want a video to bring another university study.

A natural occurrence??? This is why I distrust so many so called "experts"

I have heard of the Madoc legend before but this is the first I heard of it being in Indiana. I belonged to the Indiana Historical Society and their research is very good. It is the only historical society which makes a profit! I don't agree that the Welsh were the only ones to come here before the Vikings and Columbus. There are Irish legends that they were here with their rune writings. The Phoenicians were here also. When the Colonists met the Cherokee, many of them were lighter skinned and had blue and hazel eyes. Several Native American tribes from different language groups wore turbans like the peoples of North Africa. Look at the picture of Sequoya. What disturbs me is why there is a conscious plot to wipe out this information. Someone must have felt it would ruin them. With any mystery, follow the money line. College professors aren't immune from this, they have to change their theories which will damage their reputations. Good work! I wanted to dig deeper on the Madoc question but I have my own investigations which is taking up much more time than I anticipated.

This is a fascinating legend that as an American of Welsh descent I have heard of in the past. There are also stories of the Irish monk Columbo who sailed even earlier to the (now) Canadian coast and back in Curachs or coricals and of course the Viking explorations of what is now Nova Scotia. I have found in legend there is often a coronal of truth.

Wow, what a story. I believe the Smithsonian strikes again.

I believe in Prince Madoc.

Something I did forget to mention, it isn't pronounced May-doc but Mah-doc with a hard 'A' I think more credence should be given to Native American stories. (and other myths and folk tales around the world) I read somewhere, north western Native American tribe had a story about an exploding star which went back hundreds of generations It was proven true by astronomers who used description and 'co-ordinates' to find it from around 9,000 years ago. I just wish I had paid more attention to be able to quote reference.

I read much of this in a book back in the 70s from a book written probably in the 1940s called the Ancient Life Of Kentucky including the findings of a white skinned red haired woman left inside the Mammoth Cave. Also included Indian tribes in the 1700s that told of a battle where the whites were all killed off at the battle of the Ohio Falls and remaining language of these white skins in use by the Indian tribes of the area. This has brought this subject matter back for I never seemed to ever meet anyone who knew anything of this history. Great work. I do wish the music added could be toned down a few levels. I found this book in the library of the very small remote town of Burkesville Ky.

Moral of the story: never send anything to the Smithsonian. 🙄

I'm all in for Madoc! Judging from other comments here, Rose Island was not the end of the Welsh in North America, but only one of their settlements that met an unfortunate end. If I could say it in Welsh, I'd say 'Long Live the Welsh!' Thanks for this great synopsis, sir. There are also other archaeological discoveries that point to ancient tin mines on Michigan's north peninsula being frequented by ancient Egyptians, then Romans after them, then Vikings. Also, possible evidence found of Egyptian port in Louisiana, as well as Roman coins up and down the Mississippi. Perhaps Madoc had knowledge of this and maps at his disposal. Also read of a Portugues ship that made it across the Atlantic to the northern coast of New England in the same century that Madoc set out. They never landed, but encountered an enormous ship coming out of the mist whose description reminded me of the Chinese junks that circumnavigated the globe in the early 15th century. The Portuguese saw a chieftain calmly standing at the rail and looking down at them with his arms crossed. No contact was made, and the Portuguese apparently turned around and went back home.
