Roanoke colony evidence map: what the digs actually show

A 5-beat faceless video outline for “Roanoke colony evidence map: what the digs actually show” in the Unsolved mysteries (non-gore) niche, derived from caption timing of 2 reference videos.

Angles

• Cold-open on CROATOAN carved in a post — empty settlement, no struggle scene
• Stack primary clues before DNA or internet lore
• Separate what digs and records show from sensational retellings — non-gore
• Close on an evidence map: confirmed, disputed, unknown

Beat-by-beat structure

1. Hook (0:00–0:30): one word on a post — promise a file, not a campfire horror.
2. Timeline (0:30–2:30): supply voyages, delayed return, empty houses.
3. Evidence stack (2:30–5:00): archaeology, Indigenous oral/history threads, paperwork.
4. Open questions (5:00–6:30): what still cannot be proven.
5. Recap. Non-gore; original narration only.
