It's Shaman's seven 48 00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:46.039 eleven underscore, So I guess we'll jump right into it. 49 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:51.240 We can start with a congratulations to Jacqueline and Sarah 50 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:56.280 and then of course myself here thanks to Ricardo, because 51 00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.599 now we're all board members of the Institute of the 52 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:04.520 Natural Philosophy and happy to be here, Yeah, in partnership 53 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:08.439 and moving forward with this group all around us. So 54 00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:14.000 congratulations everybody. That being said, I guess I will pop 55 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:18.560 to screen share. Today we're going to explore Mabilla. You know, 56 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:23.240 this has been a very personal journey for me, a 57 00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.879 very spiritual one. That's why you see the screen name 58 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.360 Shaman seven eleven, and that's why what I lead with, 59 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:32.720 right But you know, today we're really going to focus 60 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:38.120 on the evidence, but also the picture and the way 61 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.480 I hope the evidence starts to lead us. You know, 62 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.319 everybody knows DeSoto, and we're going to start looking at 63 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.879 a few maps to get intro here. Everybody sort of 64 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.279 knows that story, was taught that story in high school, 65 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.120 and everybody was sort of taught a certain story about 66 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:56.240 the natives. Right now, as as I've gone through this process, 67 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.319 what I've gotten in touch with is not only the 68 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.439 spiritual aspect of what these native peoples here on this 69 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.120 land we're walking around with, but also the physical evidence 70 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:08.680 from the mounds, to the artifacts, to the geo engineering 71 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:10.439 which we're going to look at here today that was 72 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:14.959 taking place. That really shows that our understanding of the 73 00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.480 native capabilities, the way of life, and even the world 74 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:22.480 as they saw it is grossly sort of underrepresented. So 75 00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:26.079 I hope through this process we really are start to 76 00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:29.279 open our eyes to that right to what was here, 77 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:33.199 what Chief Tuscaloosa and the natives had here as de 78 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:37.720 Soto came crumbling and stumbling in because thanks to those diseases, 79 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:39.519 by the time you know, we came back through here 80 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.439 one hundred or so years later, that civilization was eradicated. 81 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.360 You know, it was like Anthony Fauci had got to 82 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.879 go hog wild and had nobody to stand up to him. 83 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.439 You know, just nothing, nothing left. So we just don't 84 00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.680 have a glimpse of these people. And part of this 85 00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.920 process has put me there on the ground in these creeks, 86 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.759 on these mounds, in this earth, and I'm finding things 87 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.399 that are just pretty incredible. So today we're gonna share. 88 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.199 We're gonna start with a lecture that was recorded by 89 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.879 Nick when he came down here to see us. It 90 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:15.480 is essentially me telling the story of Mobila. So we're 91 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:19.560 gonna get everybody familiar with what happened and what's going on, 92 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.079 who the main characters were, and then what happened with 93 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:27.560 DeSoto when he entered Chief Tuscaloosa's territory along the Cruser River. 94 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.879 So with that, I'm gonna click us over to screen share. 95 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.959 We're gonna keep our fingers crossed that all goes as 96 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:40.240 it did in test. I'm gonna remember also share system audio, 97 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.720 and there we go. I'm gonna get you out of 98 00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.720 the way, all right, so we can see me. We 99 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:53.560 can see my screen. Okay, guys, So let's take a 100 00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.079 look as we introduce to a couple of maps here, 101 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:03.279 So the DeSoto Route. Can you guys see this? Is 102 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:03.959 this large enough? 103 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:06.040 I can so? 104 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.000 Traditionally this is sort of an accepted version of the 105 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.600 DeSoto Route. Again, all of this, much of it rough, 106 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.959 some of it anchored with evidence, but much of it 107 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:21.759 based on the DeSoto chronicles right now here. If we 108 00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.399 look at this is an official This was a map 109 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.800 a photograph taken of a trail marker for the official 110 00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.879 DeSoto trail. Now, what we're going to zoom in and 111 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:35.920 look at here specifically is where we are on this 112 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.439 generally accepted trail. Right, So the towns we're going to 113 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:45.240 be talking about in pinpointing once DeSoto entered Chief Tuscaloos's 114 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:54.040 territory are at a Hatchee, Piaccia and Mobila specifically, to 115 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.959 note how traditionally, when trying to map this based solely 116 00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:02.279 on the chronicles right, you've got, however, many a good 117 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:06.040 handful like seven or eight versions of this story that 118 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.360 was either written firsthand or related firsthand of people who 119 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.439 survived when they finally made it out down here in Mexico. Here, 120 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:19.079 Notice the spread right, so where were there? They're nearly 121 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.040 on right. This is the general area. In fact, right 122 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.519 here is where Mobila is at. But this spread right 123 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.560 is what they've really sort of been off on, and 124 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:33.240 we can pinpoint that before a pinpoint that. Let me now, 125 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.000 this is an example of what happens when you try 126 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:42.240 to map this route based on the chronicles alone. You 127 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:47.519 see here we have list of the different various students 128 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.879 who meaning students of the chronicles right, who have gone 129 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:53.759 through and tried to work out this route. I use 130 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:57.639 this map to show you how difficult that is. Right, 131 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:02.200 Just each of these presents a different attempt at trying 132 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:10.399 to then reverse engineer a map. Right, Okay, that's what happens. Now, 133 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:12.879 this is the area we're going to be zooming in 134 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:17.559 on today, really right where this turn happens here right 135 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:22.639 in through here. Okay, moving on to the map of 136 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:25.080 the actual area, and then we'll get to the lecture. 137 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:37.360 So here now Mobilla top left at Hatchie modern day Cusada, 138 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:43.840 and this feature here I'm going to highlight in a 139 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:47.279 second as the winged serpent feature. But let's point out 140 00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:51.879 our key features. So at Hatchie after crossing the Cusa 141 00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:55.000 Talapusa Mobila here. Now, this is what's going to shock 142 00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.679 a lot of people, is here, say here right, you're 143 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.879 talking ten miles he take I walked in four and 144 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:07.000 a half hours one night, unprepared Piaccia. Here, we're gonna 145 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.279 talk about forty two one hundred foot bluffs. You can 146 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:12.360 see these bluffs represented here. I'm gonna show you light 147 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.679 ar of a platform mound which exists right around in 148 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:19.600 here where this river bends. We're gonna have drone footage 149 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.799 from Nick flying over this and almost losing our drone 150 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.600 because this golf course right here, which now preserves many 151 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.279 of the mounds, as we'll see from lightar, has a 152 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:33.679 jamming system. So Nick's uh, poor drone got hung there 153 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:39.360 for it was like twenty minutes to right, so it did. 154 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.600 When that thing came down and landed, go I really 155 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.679 for a second, I've never worked with a drone. It 156 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:45.639 was like being in a Star Wars movie, and it 157 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:49.080 was like D two land after it deadly mentioned because 158 00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.399 I was sitting there over a showtle the whole time going. 159 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.519 No, well that thing came back. 160 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:55.279 We're like cheering. 161 00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:59.120 I lost it, throne. I actually lost one of my drones. 162 00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:03.320 I was outside in front yard when popping fireworks with 163 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.360 my kids and I have my drone right above it 164 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.360 so I can record it, and one of them hit 165 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:08.600 it by accident. 166 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:19.519 Delibratory. Okay, so we've got let's do this real quick, 167 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:24.039 Ada Hatchie, Mabela, and then we've got Piacha Now that 168 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:27.159 is going to put your route once they meet at Adahatchie. 169 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:29.039 Remember from our map I showed you in the route 170 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.480 they go to Piachia. They mentioned a town on a 171 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.519 peninsula a couple of at least one of the chroniclers 172 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:37.480 do called Tuscaloosa. So if we're looking for a peninsula 173 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:42.320 between here and here, we see one here. Now. They 174 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.919 described the river this is the Alabama River, as being 175 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:48.720 the river that ran by Callousy, which indeed this river, 176 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:54.200 after snaking all the way up here, meets with the 177 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.879 Cusa and Tallapoosa to form the Alabama River. Now, they 178 00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:00.440 said Ada Hatchie was at the highest navigable point of 179 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:05.440 the Alabama River, which is right here. Right this area, 180 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:10.039 Parker Island is the highest navitable area of the Alabama. 181 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:14.120 So placing Atahatchie here, as I've confirmed with mounds and 182 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:17.440 all sorts of artifacts, and Cusada is known for its 183 00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:22.320 for its presence, native presence is here. Meet here you 184 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.399 track It takes them two days. You get through various 185 00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:28.679 towns and villages, through all these strange water features to 186 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:32.559 a peninsula here running with the same river that was 187 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:36.480 running by Tallasy. They then mentioned crossing a river here. 188 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.159 If you here this appears to be a river, as 189 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:42.279 nixt droned footage will show you. Right, you cross here 190 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:46.080 over to Piacia and then you follow Pine Creek which 191 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:51.080 empties into the Alabama River all the way up to 192 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.960 the area of Mobila where the artifacts, the X tree 193 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.679 and the crescent shaped mound are, all of which we 194 00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:05.639 will look at now light are press it shaped mound. 195 00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:08.720 This is quickly so you have a visual in your head. 196 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.279 That's the creek that Nick and I will be walking 197 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:14.080 in right here, and this is where it's being eroded. 198 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:16.879 The construction that's taking place all over here. They've come 199 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.639 and dumped their fill right along through here. Right. Wow, 200 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.440 So this creek has been kicked over, right, and now 201 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.519 as Nick and I's video showcases, this has been eroded. 202 00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:29.360 This used to come, you know, all the way and 203 00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:33.360 then these artifacts are pouring out and washing down the creek, right, 204 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.159 so nothing has been excavated. You know, that's not what 205 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:40.440 I do, right, I'm picking up in this creek what's 206 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:45.879 being washed out thanks to construction, right yeah, right, moving on, okay, 207 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.279 so a quick look and then we'll start our video 208 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:50.919 at the winged Serpent. I have it here in two 209 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:58.120 different seasons and it's best in fall. Okay, this water feature. 210 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:00.360 So this feature here, guys, if you look here, you 211 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:04.039 see what looks like a head right right here. Mouth okay, 212 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:07.840 down here you see this. This is Goat Island. This 213 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.200 if you picture as a wing, it also looks somewhat 214 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:14.080 like an asteroid. This is the Alabama River replacing Atahatchie 215 00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:19.480 here right. Okay, Nope, something about this. When you zoom 216 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:24.039 in you see these lines all right, this is an 217 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.919 engineered swamp. I have video of being on the ground 218 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.120 here in these rows you can jump between them. It's 219 00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:32.879 all old growth Cyprus. It's swamp. You can't hardly get 220 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:37.960 into it, right, Definitely geo engineered, which is easily illustrated 221 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:42.159 by looking back over here this map. Now, this is 222 00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:44.879 that same area I just showed you, and you will 223 00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:49.320 notice Berry Swamp right here takes this ninety degree turn 224 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:52.279 and then is guided off over into these swamps with 225 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.720 all these rows. So when you look you zoom in 226 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:57.200 on your satellite, you can see that this creek is 227 00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:00.519 used to fill all of these rows to make permanent swamp. 228 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:04.720 This is a geo engineered feature, right as I can 229 00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:06.960 prove of light art, and these features will explore later. 230 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:10.039 They go all along with these waterways. You can use 231 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:16.440 light art to document this extremely odd geoengineering using mounds 232 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.840 and whatnot and movement of creeks to get your effect. 233 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.799 All right, and now I'm getting ahead of myself and 234 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.679 let's start this twenty minute video and see where we 235 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:31.600 end up. But I just wanted everyone to have that 236 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:33.159 in their heads. 237 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:36.279 I don't want to waste more time. 238 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.600 Okay, No, your gogory of Mobila to what King serpent 239 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:44.399 nick where these two people met the def where they 240 00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:48.000 crossed the Alabama already seeing if you've paid attention to 241 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:50.919 the traditional story and the hunt that has been going 242 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.279 on for Mobila to nail down the DeSoto route, is 243 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:59.679 that these towns are close to each other at all? Right? 244 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:05.039 How is everybody on audio sounds you guys, We're gonna 245 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:08.960 let the story play. I may interrupt, but feel free 246 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.639 if you have questions to pauls and we'll go from there. Enjoy. 247 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.159 Thanks Sneck for this footage of a Hatchie. Where it 248 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.799 sits is as the crow flies nine and a half 249 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.039 miles to Mobilla. 250 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:25.200 What Tuscaloosa did was take this. 251 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:28.879 Man on a journey all the way down, tricked him, 252 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:31.279 made him think he crossed a river. But it's a 253 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.559 fake part of the river that bleeds up into a 254 00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:36.360 creek and a lake over to the forty foot cliffs 255 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:40.440 of Piaccia where they rested, and then march right up 256 00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:44.960 to Mobilla Mobilla, and ada, hatchie, you can make on foot. 257 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.720 I did it unprepared in four and a half hours. 258 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:50.879 Sorry, guys, how quickly could they have done it? Trying 259 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:51.399 to be fancy? 260 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:52.639 That's how much. 261 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.320 He tripped and laid out a plan to ensnare de Soto, 262 00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.799 beginning with sending his son to me the de Soto 263 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:06.759 expedition before they left Kusa's territory. The way the chroniclers 264 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:10.440 all agree it happened is Tuscaloosa's son comes in. 265 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:13.880 He is already reportedly of giant stature. 266 00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:16.960 We say giant stature because he is described as a 267 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.480 foot roughly over every other spaniard there, and he is 268 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:27.440 well proportioned and handsome, to steal the chronicler's words, right, giant. 269 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.160 He comes to De Soto and he says all the 270 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:34.519 fine words indicating my father can't wait to serve you. 271 00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:37.759 But before you cross, there are two roads. 272 00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:43.079 So from the chroniclers, the build of Tuscaloosa was like 273 00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:45.920 that of his son, for he towered over all the 274 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:49.480 others by more than half of Vara Avara is roughly 275 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:53.319 a yard three feet and appeared to be a giant 276 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.119 or was one. The rest of his body and his 277 00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:59.440 face were in proportion to his height. His countenance was 278 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.960 handsome and habitually wore a severe expression that his aspect 279 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:08.160 showed well the ferocity and the nobility of his spirit. 280 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:12.160 His shoulders corresponded to his stature. His waist was a 281 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:16.279 little more than two terracellas around. His arms and legs 282 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:21.160 were straight, well set, and proportionate to his body. In short, 283 00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:24.680 he was the tallest Indian of the finest figure that 284 00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:29.039 these Castilians saw in all their travels through La Florida. 285 00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:34.319 There are two roads that lead to where my father waits. 286 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:38.640 Please send your men down, one back the other Jews, 287 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:41.720 which is safest and most comfortable for you. 288 00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:44.359 Well, De Soto sort of balks. 289 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:47.839 He's encountered nothing but natives that want to rarely kiss 290 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.039 his ass. 291 00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:50.279 Over Incus's territory. 292 00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:52.880 They were using him to fight battles, you know, little 293 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:54.880 territorial squabbles they had. 294 00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:59.319 So he had been in peace, right, that's his mindset. 295 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.119 When this big noble giant comes and says, my father 296 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.319 wants you to feel comfortable and feel safe. But now 297 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:09.960 in hindsight we can see what Tuscaloosa and why he 298 00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:13.720 sent his son on this important task, was to make 299 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:17.839 sure De Soto trusted them to lead the rest. 300 00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:18.160 Of the way. 301 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.960 He was at ease with them, because now that we 302 00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:26.000 know Adahatchie and Nobela were so close, we see how 303 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:31.400 much Tuscalusa had at stake. They were everywhere around here, 304 00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:33.160 absolutely everywhere. 305 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:35.839 This place was huge. 306 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.279 He had his territory on the line, so he needed 307 00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:41.920 to Sodo to trust him. 308 00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:45.480 So De Soto listened. He sent the man down, he 309 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:46.359 sent the man. 310 00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:50.799 Back, and they picked the road and they entered Tuscaloosa's territory. 311 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.880 The meeting happened over here at Ada Hatchie. 312 00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:58.880 It says Tuscaloosa was up on a mound, covered on 313 00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:01.839 a small seat, with roughly one hundred of his nobles 314 00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:07.279 all around him, flumed to the hilt, painted calm. Said 315 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:10.640 he had a banner behind him. All of the chronicles agreed. 316 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:14.839 The Soto said he had not encountered banners, war banners 317 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:22.839 until he got here, painted yellow in blue on deer skin. Now, 318 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.680 the Soto and his six to nine hundred men, three 319 00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.519 hundred and fifty horses, various pigs, and all of the 320 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:34.160 other attendants and men, from blacksmiths to clerics, to hunters 321 00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:41.519 to mappers. They come walking into this town parade fashion horses. 322 00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.039 These natives had never seen horses. It would be much 323 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:49.559 like a UFO landing right here today, Nick, and you 324 00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:54.200 and I doing what Tuscaloosa did. He didn't move, he 325 00:20:54.240 --> 00:21:02.720 didn't even look at him. Armored men, weapons, banners, horses, 326 00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:10.359 he didn't even acknowledge them. From the chronicles. Near Tuscaloosa 327 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:14.000 was a standard bearer carrying a large banner made of 328 00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:18.240 yellow deer skin with three blue bars dividing it from 329 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:20.880 one side to the other. It was the same size 330 00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:23.359 and shape as the standard the companies of Cavalry and 331 00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:26.119 Spain would use. This was a new thing for the 332 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.880 Spaniards to see military insignia. For up to that time 333 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.559 they had not seen a standard, or a batter banner 334 00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:34.799 or a geddon. 335 00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:37.039 Until de Soto came in. 336 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:42.799 De Soto came in, One chronicle says Tuscaloosa stayed seated 337 00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:45.960 and waited for de Soto to come. One chronicle says 338 00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:48.319 this is where Tuscalusa stood. 339 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:51.759 And they meet at each other. They exchanged words. We'll 340 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:52.559 keep it short. 341 00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:55.440 Basically, we'll describe what de Soto had done the whole 342 00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:58.519 time his mo and what he does here. He would 343 00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:02.240 take the chiefs captive by force when he entered their territory, 344 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:07.680 Demand slaves, burden bearers to carry everything for his men, 345 00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:12.119 Demand sex slaves to gratify the needs. 346 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:13.440 And requirements of his men. 347 00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:15.839 And then they would take all of the corn camp 348 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:19.960 for twenty days, establish dominance, kidnapped the chief march through 349 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:22.400 the rest of the territory, rents, repeat. 350 00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:24.000 When they got to a new territory. 351 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:29.799 So here they are in this town with this giant man, 352 00:22:31.079 --> 00:22:32.039 they lay this on it. 353 00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:34.079 They say, we need burden. 354 00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.680 Slaves, we need sex slaves. He says, not here, he says, 355 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:40.119 We're near to my main town, right. I want to 356 00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:44.480 protect this shit. I've got a satellite town, Mabila. I'll 357 00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:47.880 take you there, and there you will have your sex 358 00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:52.720 slaves and your slaves. So too agrees they had to 359 00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:55.079 find a horse to put this giant man on, and 360 00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:56.240 they can't find a horse. 361 00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:58.759 All the chronicles agree. 362 00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:01.240 They cannot find a horse to bear his weight until 363 00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:05.240 they find the largest pack you know, animal. They come 364 00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:07.400 and it can stand the weight of the man, there's 365 00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:10.440 still a problem because his feet are touching the ground, 366 00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:14.319 that his feet barely able to clear the ground. Describe 367 00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:19.839 De Soto Desto. Chroniclers described Tuscaloosa as eyes like oxen, 368 00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:23.720 a foot and a half to two feet above every 369 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:28.440 other Spaniard, nearly a foot above every other native, well 370 00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:31.920 proportioned and handsome, more so than any other native they 371 00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:34.559 had encountered into this time, and they said that about 372 00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:37.559 all the people of this area and Tuscaloosa. In fact, 373 00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:40.680 we have a wife that was kidnapped from Mobila, and 374 00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:42.000 when she went down to Peru. 375 00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:42.920 I believe it was. 376 00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:49.119 From the chronicles. When the governor and Tuscaloosa entered Mobila, 377 00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:53.640 the natives came out to receive them with dances and ceremonies, 378 00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:57.079 so they were so taken by them. When the entertainment ended, 379 00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:01.720 another dance took place, performed marvelously by beautiful women. Because 380 00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:05.400 as I have said, those Indians are very well favored, 381 00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:08.519 and the women so much so that afterward, when we 382 00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:12.880 left the country and went to Mexico, Governor Morcas Morsaco 383 00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:17.759 Morcasso took an Indian from this province of Mobila, who 384 00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:21.279 was very handsome and a graceful woman. She could compare 385 00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:24.160 in beauty with the most elegant from Spain who were 386 00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:28.119 in all of Mexico. And thus, because of her extreme beauty, 387 00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:31.599 those ladies in Mexico sent to beg the governor to 388 00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:35.279 send her because they wished Zide to see her. He 389 00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:39.119 did so gladly, because it pleased him that they should 390 00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:43.759 envy her stolen bride. All of the wives of the 391 00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:46.279 captain and the kidnapped would demand she was sent to 392 00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:50.160 them so they could marvel over how charming, right, how 393 00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:55.079 well put together, and how beautiful she was. And then 394 00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:59.240 you have this giant chief of these noble, charming, beautiful people. 395 00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:02.799 Many of the descriptions in the DeSoto Chronicles, when they're 396 00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:06.920 speaking on the encounters with these people, they marvel over 397 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:12.839 how well they conducted themselves, how they listened, how they 398 00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:18.680 took every point the Spanish had to make, conferred, returned, 399 00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:21.680 and spoke more clearly, they said, than any of the 400 00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:27.759 finest diplomats or court members in Europe. They also said, 401 00:25:27.799 --> 00:25:30.480
