What Really Happened To The Lost Colony Of Roanoke?

Using forensic geology, we investigate one of the most enduring American mysteries: the Lost Colony of Roanoke. Geologist Scott Walter challenges the official history by examining the controversial Dare Stones, 48 inscribed rocks long dismissed as fakes. A hidden symbol on Governor John White's map and a cryptic carving suggest the colonists moved inland - not to Croatan - in a desperate survival attempt, possibly orchestrated by Sir Walter Raleigh. Discover the new evidence that suggests the first English settlement in the New World was not "lost," but their true fate was a carefully guarded secret.
