Still Waters Posted April 21, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Make note of the name Etzanoa, a long-lost city. Donald Blakeslee says he’s found it. The discovery could put south-central Kansas on the map as the second-biggest settlement of Native Americans found in the United States, Blakeslee said. And it’s now, finally, the known location of a 1601 battle pitting outnumbered Spaniards firing cannon into waves of attacking Indian warriors. Etzanoa has remained a mystery for 400 years. Archaeologists could not find it. Historians thought reports of a permanent settlement with 20,000 Native Americans in it were exaggerated. http://www.kansascity.com/news/state/kansas/article145026439.html 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingitsune Posted April 22, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 22, 2017 This is so interesting, it will give a much better understanding of how cultures and economies interacted back in pre-colonial North America. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted April 24, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Pretty cool, but lots of research left to do. It looks like they are using that 20,000 or more number based solely off of a Spaniards description of there being 2000 huts that could hold up to 10 people.
