UVirginia Dare (1587-?) Wayengumntwana wokuqala ozelwe eMntla Melika ngabazali abangamaNgesi, owazalelwa eRoanoke Island, eVirginia koloni, ngoku eyiNorth Carolina. Wayengumzukulwana werhuluneli yekoloni, uJohn White. Ikholoni kunye nabemi bayo baphela ngokumangalisayo kwaye baziwa njenge 'Lost Colony.'Ifoto nguHulton Archive / Getty Izithombe Kude kube namhla akukho mntu waziyo ukuba kwenzeka ntoni kubahlali abali-115 baseMelika bokuqala, iRoanoke Island Colony. Idolophu yasekwa ngo-1585, kwaye ngonyaka we-1590 — emva kohlaselo oluninzi lwabemi bomhlaba kunye nokunqongophala kokutya kwanyanzela ikholoniyali yayo yokuqala ukuba ibuyele eNgilane, kwaye iqela lesibini lathunyelwa ngaphaya ukuya kuzama ithamsanqa-abahlali bonke baphela ngokumangalisayo ngaphandle komkhondo. Ewe, bekukho umkhondo ofihlakeleyo oshiye ngasemva: igama elithi CROATOAN lifunyenwe likroliwe kwisithuba somthi kumda wethanga. Ibali lento iye yaziwa njenge koloni elahlekileyo ihlala iyenye yeemfihlelo ezinkulu zaseMelika, ezothusayo, kunye neembono ezininzi zelenqe kunye neemeko ezichazayo zokuchaza amatyala abahlali. URyan Murphy wade wajonga ezimbalwa zamabali e-gorier kwisizini ephelileyo ye-FX show yakhe Ibali laseMelika laseRoror: I-Roanoke Nightmare yam . Kodwa ukuba ucinga ukuba inguqulelo kaMurphy yeRoanoke ikude njengoko siza kuza kwimpendulo-eyintsomi okanye enye-into eyenzekileyo, umembi wezinto zakudala uCharles Ewen kunye neqela lakhe kutshanje baphose esinye isitshixo kulo mxube, linika ingxelo iphephancwadi iSmithsonian .
Ngo-1998, abaphandi bafumanisa umsesane omncinci onendawo yengonyama phantsi komhlaba kwiSiqithi i-Hatteras sase North Carolina, abathi bawuchonga njenge golide kwaye banxulunyaniswa nosapho lakwa Kendall, ekucingelwa ukuba lwalunamaqhina nabahlali bokuqala beli thanga. Kodwa ngoku, u-Ewen kunye noogxa bakhe bafumene ubungqina obutsha bokuphikisa ukuba iringi yayinalo naluphi na unxibelelwano noRoanoke. Uvavanyo lweLebhu kusetyenziswa isixhobo se-x-ray fluorescence kwiYunivesithi yase-East Carolina luveze ukuba iringi yenziwe ngethusi hayi ngegolide. Ngelixa u-Ewen ekholelwa ukuba iringi inokuba iziswe ngabahlali base-Yuropu, ngoku ucinga ukuba kungenzeka ukuba kuthengiswe ngayo kubantu bomthonyama kwakude kudala emva kokunyamalala kwabahlali baseRoanoke. Wonke umntu ufuna ukuba yinto elahliweyo nguColonist esantini, uxelele uSmithsonian.
Umembi wezinto zakudala uCharles Heath, owayese Hatteras xa iringi yafunyanwa ngoogxa bakhe u-Charles Heath, wayenayo le nto malunga nokurhanelwa komsesane okutyholwa ukuba yi Roanoke: Ezo zinto zazizakusetyenziswa, zilungiswe, zithengiswe, ziphinde zithengiswe, zilahleke, zilahlwe okanye zikhuselwe ngabanini bazo bemveli-kunye nabanini bemveli abalandelayo-iminyaka emininzi… into elahlekileyo yenkulungwane ye-16 efumaneka apha naphaya kwiiBhanki zangaphandle ayizukufumana iColony elahlekileyo.
Uxolo bathandi beRoanoke, kubonakala ngathi kuyakufuneka silinde kancinci- mhlawumbi de kubhalwe iMurphy ipeni iMan Roanoke Nightmare Icandelo II? -Ukuze ufumane iimpendulo kwikholoni elahlekileyo.
