Mr. Cobbled for the love of god what is the music you used at 5:55 when the Reckoned Dead section starts, I’ve been looking for it for 2 months now and I am going insane. And at 28:04 that’s just good music. Cobbler for the love of God, HaShem, Jehovah, Jove, Wotan or whatever the hell you do or don’t give a shit about list your damn music. Every single goddamn video I see has such amazing information, quality of editing, and presentation and perfect music that is never linked and is incredibly hard to find.
I love this series, there's two stories: - The Spanish-Mexican stuff - The story of a RU-vidr who, wanting to get into history a bit more, made a video based off of Bernardino de Sahagún's writings, realized it was quite strongly biased, then set everything on fire and invented a masterpiece of a historical analysis series which actually started uncovering some genuine historical facts that most people would never realize, presented them neatl, but didn't stoop to overcorrecting everything to favour the aztecs too highly, maintaining the human element of Bernardino's work but providing room to explore and consider the atrocities of both sides, and the nature of empires as a whole
@@DJPeachCobbler RIP. DJPeachCobbler was a good man, a kind man, and should have been better at Smash Bros. May his loss never be forgotten. So let it be written, so let it be done. O7
The fact nobody noticed or cared the sun was setting in the wrong direction feels like a real life plot hole. Another amazing video by the way, can't wait to see more
@@Clarkamadorian Oh yeah, absolutely. There's tons of this kind of stuff throughout history, I just think it's interesting to compare these real life events and stories to fictional stories that also have plot holes you'd think the characters would've noticed. Like, apparently that kind of stuff in fiction is a lot more believable than we think lol
Would love a series on the De Soto expedition. those guys actually retraced Narvaez’s steps to Appalachia and came into contact with multiple Mississippian chiefdoms and basically went on a rampage, kidnapping and extorting people for non-existent gold. One of the bloodiest battles on what-would-be US soil occurred when the conquistadors went up against a particularly powerful chiefdom. Glad to see someone cover these topics though, I’ve always found the interactions between conquistadors and native americans extremely compelling and fascinating. They’re for sure worthy of being told more widely.
De Soto is such a peak potential Cobbler character, and we definitely don’t talk enough about what America was actually like until a group of goofy fucks landed at Jamestown, and how that shapes us
You may wanna look into Lope de Agirre, a basque conquistador who went "fuck it" and decided to carve his own kingdom, earning such nicknames as "The Mad" and styling himself as "The Wrath of God" and "The Prince of Freedom". So much anger he caused in the castillian/spanish court, that uttering his name was forbidden by Felipe II
Voice acting? Is it still voice acting when you’re just reading off your own script? I agree he has great energy to voicing these videos but idk if I’d call it acting? I’m no expert tho, it just got me thinking
Florida is a beautiful land (and not anywhere near as Apocalyptic as the memes would portray it) but the land definitely feels like it's eager to wipe out any living thing in it - whether Native Americans, conquistadors, or anyone else. As a Floridian, I would describe it as a Cursed Garden of Eden.
@@arandompasserby7940Seminole thrived there there was a tribe that still remained even after the wars and removal by the United States because of how extreme the terrain was.
@@Ralfi_PoELA Well, the Seminoles were the only Native tribe in US territory to never surrender. That said, living in the Everglades (after losing 3 wars) with zero modern technology doesn't sound like a particularly great existence, either. (The Seminoles weren't even originally from Florida, they moved south into Spanish Florida triggering the 1st Seminole War). One can only contemplate what damage disease and hurricanes had on them prior to modernization and proper record-keeping.
Jesus this is easily one of the most brutal series of unfortunate events i ever heard of. But Im left wondering, if everyone in the expedition died, and the natives were liars, who managed to chronicle the events?
@@Zacmaster78 They spent the whole story purposefully misleading and lying to the Spanish. So the reliability of what they'd have to say about it is very questionable.
I got so excited as soon as you mentioned Corpus Christi. I’m from the Texas coast, a small town a little more than an hour north of Corpus. I grew up learning about the ritualistic cannibalism of the Karankawa from this area. The town I’m from was actually forced to move locations in the 1800’s due to their constant, successful raids. I’m really excited for the next video, thank you Cobbler!
when you set sail from an island and are out at sea with no land in sight for a few days the sense of which side of the boat the land should be on is really hazey if not non existent. Now why non of them knew that the sun was setting in the wrong direction we may never know
@@juwebles4352 Bruh could NONE these 400 NAVIGATORS tell east from west by LOOKING AT THE SUN? For months ON LAND? This probably isn't true at all and we'll never know the truth, since there are no realiable records of the event.
I believe that the story of Alavar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca is a story worth telling about . A great source on this story is Conquistadores By Michael Wood which is an epic testament of the conquistadors of Cortez, Pizarro and his brothers conquest of the Inca,to the search of El Dorado by Francisco de Orellana , and finally Alavar Ñúñez cabeza de vaca’s story
I'm so frustrated that I was taught that ol' Cowhead lead an expedition and saw the Mississippi River, I knew there was a lost expedition. I NEVER knew there was all this to know about the lost expedition. I love history and historiography and that history can change as our understanding changes.
Fun fact: "Pánfilo" in spanish means more or less, "fool" or "idiot". Wether that meaning came after this story took place or Narváez's parents hated him I'll leave up to your imagination. Extra fun fact: "Cabeza de Vaca" literally means "Cow Head" This story was written by a treasurer named "Cow Head"
@@aarongonalons7895 Yo también soy español, es cierto que las connotaciones suelen ser más positivas que las palabras inglesas qué he usado, pero si lees un diccionario verás que no me he equivocado.
@@aarongonalons7895 pánfilo, simple, memo, lelo, bobo, bobalicón. Those are some synonims from the RAE (Websters equivalent for the spanish language?). I would also think of the word simpleton to translate it to english.
The fact that anybody survived this expedition is astonishing One of the only 4 survivors was Cabeza De Vaca who went on to become governor of Rio De la Plata, Argentina
"Wow! We're finally in the New World! I can't wait to go do Conquistador stuff!" "Just think, after this supply stop, we'll be on our way to Florida!" *record scratch followed by 140 dudes running away screaming*
Moments before you uploaded this I was thinking to myself "how am I supposed to stay sane without new DJ Peach Cobbler?" while browsing the catalogue. I'm going to make it.
As a Florida native I can't even imagine what fresh hell it must have been like treking through the Florida wilderness at that time. Anyone who's spent an AFTERNOON out in that humid hell knows... 😢
literally the only internet personality ive ever wanted to meet and have a regular fucking conversation with. Have a fantastic christmas and new years monsieur cobbler. Love every video you put out, yes, even your old first videos. Been around a year or so and i get so excited for the next video. Find myself checking your channell and rewatching videos and then going and finding some of your sources.. I always have the best time ive ever had watching anything when im on your channell. Thank you, for caring about things many people dont. Appreciation aside, your videos help me to sit back and think afterwards. Which is a great relief for my young self whos been trying to stave off this phone addiction, because your videos make me put my phone down for a couple hours and only pick it up to help me remember information and find new information to take notes with. If i ever do youtube again i aspire to be on your level of comprehension and that i can find my own niche topic and unique editing style. Really youre a very inspiring character and i just hope you keep doing documentaries of this sort. But if you find something different to try that works for you, lets fuckin see it! Bless bro
Please don’t end this series, I would love to see you cover Francisco Orellana’s journey down the Amazon River, it’s one of my favorite stories from this period in history.
Damm this really shows how lucky Cortes was with his expedition. He kneecapped nation while tasked to scout it out. One most useful thing he had was a translator.
Cortez was basically a player who kept rolling 20s over and over. While the DM was pulling his hair out as his player just pulled down. Like 4 months worth of backstory and just keeps doing what shouldn't be possible over and over.😂😂
Thank you for the early Christmas gift Papa Cobbler! I discovered your channel earlier this year and I’ve watched and enjoyed every video you’ve put out. I hope you keep pumping out fun and amazing videos you love next year.
Maybe they were so exhausted from the lack of food and water and safety that it really did took them a while to notice it. I mean, it would be reasonable to assume they were capable explorers but they still had very limited technology and no real experience with the territory, so who knows
I’ve been thinking this the whole time. Not ONE person raised their hand and said the sun is rising and setting in the wrong directions?! How is this not the most upvoted comment??!!! I want answers!!!
Wow, as someone who lives near Tampa bay, this story feels way more connected and real. Thank you for including the best part of Florida in your history video :)
I always love when a peach cobbler (may be a DJ) kidnaps me and puts me on a island where I got to watch explain interesting history that I never knew before
The only thing that completely perplexes me in this story is how the men didn't realize something was inherently wrong from the start? like without any local geographical knowledge, as long as they have looked at a map of the Caribbean beforehand they should have noticed "hmm. we are going north, but the land is to our right, and the water is to our left, when it should be the other way around?" like did they not have any kind of compass to determine direction to realize the coast they were aiming for should be in the west and not the east?
This entire series on Spanish conquest of the new world was more educational than an entire public school education. COBBLER FOR SECUTARY OF EDUCATION!
Recently I've read a book a brazilian author about the first 30 years since the discovery of Brazil and some other parts, I think it is incredible how fucked up is the first contact by spanish and how different were done by the portuguese, who initially would try to negotiate with them and leave castaway (degredado) in this land. Years later they would come back and these prisoners would help them by translating and making commerce on pau brazil wood in exchange of iron tools to get even more wood and faster and get more consumer goods from europeans. I dont think there are sources of it in English, but a portuguese dude named Aleixo Garcia would lead a small army of natives to attack Cuzco on Peru by trailing a common path named Caminho do Peabiru, the amazing shit from this was that this path connected the Andes to fucking southern Altantic Ocean. And the discovery of Rio da Plata is fucking amazing too. Even some spanish people around here would act differently than in North America, and some would thrive not on violence but just by living among them. Or even how a french guy who used to traffic pau brazil adopted a native and brought him to France. It is full of unbeliavable stories, such a good book and kinda sad that there is no english translation for others to enjoy it too.
I grew up in Florida, in the clearwater area. I love the history, we've got Civil War naval engagements, the 3 Seminole wars, pirates, conquistadores, and all that is backed up by 8,000 years of natives. it's a wonderland for historians. there was a story about a conquistador helmet being found in one of the Bayous in my hometown of Dunedin sometime in the 1940s. it's in one of the local museums, I forgot which. but it's real... even if the story of where it was found might be bunk. I lost a WWII-issue steel pot helmet in one of those inlets when my john boat sank. I found it in almost the same place a year later, almost nothing left of it. it had completely rusted away save for parts of the rim and a chunk of the dome.
Depends, is the place polluted these days? Could make the water more corrosive. If it was clean for the conquistadors then it could have been dropped, caked in a protected layer of mud and left there for nearly half a millenia.
@@samreddig8819 there's another local legend of a pair of confederate revolvers tossed into a nearby brackish creek, locally known for it's deep mud. I've often wanted to go looking for them. this part of Florida is odd, stuff is either almost perfectly preserved or there's nothing left.
Yo Mr. Sick Peachy Beats! I have really enjoyed your series so far and has actually inspired me to pick up and read “A short account of the destruction of the Indies”. I have always been interested in history, but seeing your progress in learning about the field has been very inspiring. Keep up the good work!
Legend tells it that whenever Florida Man does something crazy, it is the spirit of one of these doomed Conquistadors attempting to take control of a living body once again.
Did no one suddenly question why the coastline was east of them or on the starboard side of the ships? Like no one had the thought that the Mexican coast should be to the west??
I'm not sure if a compass was as available as the 17 - or 18th century, but when you're in open water after a storm, it would be difficult to tell which way was which.
I'll admit, didn't know you existed lmao. But this vid showed up in my feed and lo and behold: you got a sub. This is such a fun take on history, keep at it dude !
I would have to guess the spanish crate full of corpses and deer skins the natives had was the remains of some of the ship wrecked crew that they gave a very cheap burial
That ending… the music, the careful scripting of the last minute, my god it’s so beautifully chilling. That funny pie man is an artist in his storytelling.
FALL OF AZTEC was a hood classic, and I loved every minute of it, how different perspective change the entire story and you will never know the real truth. I came here from Video Games and stayed here for the Production and scripting
Hey Cobbler, can you make the next history topic about the nomadic steppe peoples that harrassed every major power all the way from Acheminid Persians up to late Russian empire? Most people sweep them under the rug as savage barbarians that only steal and destroy. Scythians, huns, magyars, mongols, and so on. Love your history videos cant wait to see what youvdrop next
The answer is: Florida man. Florida man came in like a thunderbolt and struck the conquistadors before they even knew what was happening. The only reason we never learnt about it was because there were no newspapers around. I could see it now... "Florida man terrorizes group of foreigners". XD
I've said it once and I'll say it again, why has this man taught me more about history than the History Department at Texas A&M has taught me in the last four years? I straight up just used what I learned in your Rome videos on a final last week and I got a 97 on it.
1:03 you missed the perfect opportunity for a “at the ve-last minute” after you said velazquez but i was hoping you’d cover cabeza de vaca. my favorite conquistador who had the most incredible expedition.
You know, I was wondering when this was coming out. You posted the teaser for it like a month ago. Good thing I have notifications on for this channel otherwise I might've missed it entirely.
Wait, how did the Spanish deal with the fact that the sun was rising over land? How did they think they were anywhere near the right place if the coast was in the wrong place?
idk. I've been wondering the same thing since DJ showed where they landed. They must have been pretty dumb/incompetent. They must have realized it eventually because they rode the rafts west.
5th grade Texas history so vindicated hearing about Cabeza de Vaca lol. I recently started reading The Anarchy by William Dalrymple and all I have to say about European colonialism is that every bad thing that happened to every explorer or conqueror or trader, in service of his monarch and/or God, was deserved and divine Justice. Would love for you to do a series similar to the Aztec series except on Hindustan’s fall to the British East India Company and later annexation by the British Empire.
