For a long time Kadizzle has puzzled about a couple of Spanish explorers who became ship wrecked and wandered the southwest. Last night Kadizzle found the written account of one of the men and has been reading about their existence. Their survival was amazing. Eventually they were rescued.
What has always intrigued Kadizzle was the fact that these men may have wandered into what is now New Mexico and Arizona. So what? Long ago Kadizzle saw some stone work that seemed of such excellent quality it stood out from then normal stone work of the native Americans. Also the stone work had a strange quality. The walls were finished on both sides and in between was filled with rubble. This was very much like the castles in Europe were built. Could the wandering Spanish have educated the natives about new building techniques?
Kadizzle has a long way to go in reading the account, but it has been very interesting. The main food of the natives seems to have been prickly pair cactus. The journey started in Florida and life there was very harsh. The Spaniards wandered naked for much of their journey and suffered from cold and hunger constantly.
According to the account the natives were incredible with a bow and arrow, and the arrows easily pierced the armor of the Spanish.
It is six A.M. and that is the first report from the engine room.
