Hello everyone, friends, Vladimir Chaykin is with you00:00:02
and Today we are waiting for a truly00:00:04
amazing journey full of mysticism,00:00:08
secrets and mysteries. The main character of our00:00:10
today's plot will be a man of a very00:00:12
unusual fate. Conquistador Adventurer00:00:16
and traveler Francisco de Orellana00:00:19
but before I start the story I want to00:00:22
make a reservation of course the actions of the00:00:24
conquistadors in America were often00:00:27
terrible and led to the ruin and destruction of00:00:30
entire civilizations, and Francis de00:00:33
Arellano was also not a positive00:00:36
character. However, today I want00:00:38
you to look a little deeper and feel what kind of00:00:41
people they were who were ready to00:00:44
go to the edge of the known world and00:00:47
often to the right death Francisco de00:00:49
Orellana was born in 1511 in the Spanish00:00:54
city of Trujillo into a family of bankrupt00:00:56
nobles, it is known that his grandmother00:00:58
came from other famous00:01:01
conquistadors with the surname Pizarro. And of00:01:04
course such famous relatives,00:01:07
the mood in society, the galleons loaded with00:01:10
gold that came from America00:01:12
could not but influence the young Francisco and00:01:15
while still a teenager at the age of 15, He00:01:18
boards a ship and goes to the00:01:20
New World to join the00:01:22
army of his distant relative and TS00:01:26
Francisco Pizarro, who at that time was00:01:29
actively fighting in Peru in the territory of Peru00:01:31
Orellana takes part in all00:01:34
significant campaigns and battles in00:01:37
1534 year He participates in the capture of the city of00:01:40
Cusca And the next year in the capture of00:01:43
Trujillo and Quito in00:01:46
1536, he led a detachment of 8000:01:49
people and brutally suppressed the00:01:52
Indian uprising in the captured city of Cusa,00:01:55
the young Orellana showed himself to be a brave00:01:57
warrior who did not hide behind the backs of00:01:59
his comrades and even lost an eye in battle00:02:02
against the Manabi Indians and as you already00:02:04
understood, Francisco de Orellana led the life of a00:02:07
successful conquistador of his time,00:02:10
he was not yet thirty and he had already00:02:13
participated in the colonization of Peru, founded the00:02:15
city of Guayaquil, he was fabulously rich,00:02:18
had power and Fame, but it is obvious that00:02:21
Orellana was also an00:02:23
inquisitive and far from stupid,00:02:26
during his military campaigns he learns00:02:28
local languages,00:02:30
and quite a lot of different dialects00:02:33
for the conquistadors, this was rather a00:02:35
rarity; they usually hired00:02:37
translators from the locals and themselves rarely00:02:39
had an interest in studying. However, Francisco,00:02:42
his knowledge of languages later will be very useful00:02:45
after some time between Francisco00:02:48
Pizarro and Diego dal Magro a00:02:51
civil war broke out for dominion over the00:02:53
Spanish territories in the new world00:02:55
Orellana Of course he decided to support the00:02:58
side of his distant relative,00:03:00
he managed to organize a small detachment00:03:02
and intervene in the famous Battle of Los00:03:05
Salinas As a result, Almagro was00:03:07
defeated, it seemed that a quiet time had come00:03:10
Orellana retired to his vast00:03:13
Ecuadorian lands where he was actually00:03:15
the owner and about such princes, since00:03:18
1538 he served as governor of00:03:21
Santiago de Guayaquil as well as00:03:23
several other settlements. He tried to conduct a00:03:26
peaceful plantation business, he spent money on all his affairs00:03:28
and was a respected person in society00:03:31
and in this place It seems to me that00:03:34
the key moment in our history was the man who00:03:37
received everything. Why did he go to America?00:03:39
huge wealth that he could not00:03:41
spend in his entire life Earth power00:03:45
Glory However, he was soon bored with such a calm and peaceful00:03:49
life. Orellana00:03:52
finds out that the youngest of the Piro brothers00:03:55
Gonzalo Pira is gathering an expedition. He00:03:58
was also rich. and was the governor of the city of Quito.00:04:01
However, unlike his older00:04:03
brothers, the Incas who conquered Peru and00:04:06
crumbled00:04:09
small and Gonzalo Pizarro is preparing00:04:12
an expedition to search for pais dela canela of the00:04:16
mythical country of cinnamon where, according to legend,00:04:20
entire forests grew from cinnamon trees,00:04:23
which at that time was valued much00:04:26
higher than gold in which and so all of00:04:29
Spain drowned. So spices were a more00:04:32
desirable trophy; the second goal of his campaign00:04:35
was the country of Eldorado, also a mythical one,00:04:38
which was sought by many conquistadors and00:04:41
adventurers before and after them; this00:04:44
mythical country was full of gold; a00:04:47
fountain of eternal youth and other00:04:49
incredible wonders; a small00:04:51

Many thanks to everyone who will still respond00:05:24
and join our team, this is, in00:05:27
general, a classic expedition of the old people00:05:30
who went to completely00:05:32
unknown lands for Glory, wealth, and00:05:35
some for their own death. And as you00:05:38
understand Francisco de Orellana could not00:05:40
miss such a party, he abandons00:05:43
his lands, business, wealth is again00:05:46
clouded by Dora and tries to join the00:05:49
younger Pizarro, he arrives in the city of00:05:52
whale where he learns that an expedition of 22000:05:55
Spaniards and 4,000 Indians has already left in00:05:58
search of Rado Orellana gathers a small00:06:02
group of tons of people and goes to00:06:05
catch up with them and it was Oh, how not easy it was for them to00:06:08
cross the Andes from a relatively00:06:12
warm climate, they were caught in the cold00:06:15
piercing winds of the mountains where there was waist-deep00:06:18
snow. However, in early December00:06:21
1541, Francisco Arel’s detachment00:06:24
crossed the Andes, obviously there00:06:27
was no winter crossing through the mountains00:06:30
Having descended, people expected to see the00:06:32
promised country of cinnamon. However, they were00:06:36
disappointed. The camp of the younger00:06:39
scribe they were in such a hurry. It was in a00:06:42
dense forest. This forest was not made of00:06:45
cinnamon trees. And it was a very swampy and00:06:48
practically uninhabited area.00:06:51
Pizarro people died from malaria and various00:06:54
kinds of fevers, and in this swamp there was it’s even00:06:57
difficult to breathe Lit tropical and00:07:00
suffocating Indian villages from00:07:03
which they were accustomed to get00:07:04
food, it was just00:07:06
a plundering hall and people were on the verge of00:07:09
starvation, obviously this was not at all the00:07:12
picture Orellana expected to see they had been00:07:15
searching the area for several00:07:17
months, however, no cinnamon thickets00:07:20
were found, only a few00:07:22
wild bushes Whose bark had almost no00:07:25
smell The situation of the expedition became00:07:28
increasingly worse, exhausted and Hungry00:07:31
People could not continue the journey, but the00:07:33
return winter crossing through the Andes00:07:36
would cost most of them their lives and00:07:38
realizing that things were bad, Gonzalo Pizarro00:07:41
decides to follow the course of the nearest00:07:43
river on a ship which, of course, first00:07:46
had to be built Hungry and sick00:07:49
people began to cut down trees to prepare stoves00:07:51
and make furs from the skins of killed horses,00:07:54
the meat of which they had long since eaten, they even00:07:57
forged nails from each horseshoe into a00:08:00
small brigantine, which ended up00:08:02
being called San Pedro, people were starving,00:08:05
had yellow fever and were dying like00:08:08
flies, the Spaniards were already openly cursing00:08:11
their boss Gonzalo Pizarro for leading00:08:13
them all into such murderous wilds00:08:16
instead of forests full of cinnamon and gold.00:08:19
However, the Indians reported encouraging00:08:21
news: if you move further along the00:08:24
river, you can get to places where there is a00:08:27
lot of gold and food, and here00:08:29
another turning point occurs moment00:08:32
in our history Francisco de Orellana00:08:34
asks Pissarro to let him go for00:08:37
reconnaissance on a ship, he is going to00:08:39
sail up the river to get00:08:42
food and return back to00:08:44
continue the expedition to this plan together00:08:51
Pisaruk00:08:53
1541 Francisco de Orellana and a00:08:56
crew of 57 people left the shore and00:09:00
left the expedition00:09:03
They were never destined to see Gonzalo Pizarro again;00:09:06
Yana set sail and took with him the entire fleet of the00:09:09
San Pedro expedition and four canoes. They00:09:12
sailed for several days, passing through the00:09:15
Coca and Napo rivers. However,00:09:18
they did not meet any cities or even Indian settlements.00:09:21
But the hunger was felt. The sun was more obvious; people00:09:25
ate leather straps for the soles00:09:27
of the shoes and everything that could be eaten;00:09:30
one of the eyewitnesses wrote that they boiled00:09:33
leather shoes in cauldrons with aromatic00:09:35
herbs in order to somehow improve their00:09:38
taste from such food, or rather, due to its00:09:41
absence, seven people from the00:09:43
conquistador team died; they were in utter00:09:46
despair they were dying of hunger. Many of00:09:49
them were just lying on the deck and00:09:52
could not move when suddenly, in the distance,00:09:54
they heard the beating of Indian drums.00:09:58
One of the participants in the Arel expedition was a00:10:01
Dominican monk, Gaspar de Cavar,00:10:03
who kept a diary in great detail. And this is00:10:06
how he described this moment, we are all very we00:10:09
clearly heard a drum beat. It00:10:12
came from somewhere far away. The captain was the00:10:15
first lucky enough to hear it and00:10:17
he told his comrades about it, we00:10:20
turned out loud, and when we were convinced of the00:10:23
truth of his words, such joy filled everyone00:10:26
that in the blink of an Eye we were00:10:29
forgotten about our previous sorrows, for00:10:31
we were already among inhabited lands And now they00:10:34
could no longer die of hunger. On January 3,00:10:38
1542, they reached an Indian00:10:41
settlement. People who had never seen the00:10:44
Spaniards fled in horror. However, there00:10:47
was food in the village and this saved the expedition.00:10:50
Later, the Indians became bolder and made00:10:53
contact. As it turned out, these lands were00:10:55
the possessions of the cacique. whose name was Aryan00:10:59
Cacique - this is a title like a prince, the00:11:01
Indians treated the Spaniards as00:11:04
kindly as possible and gave them a large00:11:06
amount of food and it turns out that the mission00:11:09
that was entrusted to Francisco de00:11:11
Arellano was completed, he could00:11:13
return back to the00:11:18
pisaruk00:11:26
expedition sources writes that the people were00:11:29
on the verge of rebellion and refused to sail00:11:32
back through the barren lands where they00:11:34
had to starve for a long time. In addition, they00:11:36
gave quite reasonable arguments that the food00:11:39
that the Indians would give them00:11:42
would simply spoil in the humid and warm climate00:11:45
before the pyro detachment received it. But here00:11:48
it should be noted that most sources of00:11:51
information seem to be loyal to Francisco de00:11:54
Orellana, most of this is the00:11:56
testimony of the crew members and the diary of the00:11:59
Dominican friar, and so there Orellana00:12:02
appears as a victim of circumstances00:12:04
who reluctantly agrees with the team.00:12:08
However, we can assume that San00:12:10
Francisco did not really want to return to00:12:12
Pissarro; firstly, he would have to00:12:15
sail through again Hungry lands, secondly,00:12:16
it is unclear where this expedition of Pizarro would move next,00:12:19
and thirdly, it00:12:22
seems to me the most important point is00:12:24
that the one who is the first to Knight Eldorado00:12:27
and the one who Finds the land of measles will receive all00:12:31
the Glory and all the Wealth and one of the versions is00:12:35
that that Francis de00:12:37
Orellana simply cheated Gonzalo Pizarro,00:12:41
by the way, the younger Pizarro himself adhered to this version.00:12:44
And perhaps his00:12:46
decision was influenced by the fact that the local Indians00:12:50
with whom, by the way, Orellana found a common00:12:52
language because he learned local dialects00:12:54
said that there were00:12:56
only a few days left to sail to the treasured country of Eldorado,00:12:59
of course Now we can assume that00:13:01
they told these tales so00:13:04
that the Spaniards would simply leave them quickly00:13:06
and stop eating and00:13:08
terrorizing, but Francisco could well00:13:11
believe it and decide that opening a00:13:14
country full of gold without a junior00:13:16
clerk was a good prospect. After about a00:13:19
month, they left the00:13:22
Indian settlement on February 11, they They noticed that00:13:24
the river was divided into two and one of the00:13:27
parts became much larger. And decent waves were already walking along it.00:13:30
They reached the00:13:33
confluence of the Napo River and the great00:13:35
Amazon River and became the first Europeans to00:13:38
see its waters. It became clear00:13:41
that their lungs and already00:13:43
rotted could not withstand swimming along00:13:46
such a stormy river and the expedition was00:13:49
forced to make a stop to00:13:50
build another new, more durable00:13:53
ship, the most difficult task00:13:56
was making nails for00:13:58
which it was necessary to burn coal and create an00:14:00
improvised forge, work in00:14:03
which Juanda Alcantara00:14:06
and Sebastian Rodriguez took upon themselves. The village became a00:14:08
temporary shelter the conquistadors00:14:10
received from them the name village of nails, the00:14:14
new ship was named Victoria when00:14:16
the ship was ready on February 2, Francisco and00:14:19
his people left the hospitable00:14:21
village of nails and went further.00:14:24
After 10 days, they entered the00:14:26
Amazon channel and this is how the00:14:29
Dominican priest then reached00:14:31
uninhabited lands And only having passed 200 Lik.00:14:34
This is approximately 836 km. We noticed at least00:14:38
some kind of housing. Apparently people were afraid to00:14:41
get back into uninhabited lands and00:14:44
be left without food. However, on00:14:47
February 26, the travelers saw in the middle of the00:14:49
river two canoes loaded to the brim with00:14:52
huge turtles, approaching00:14:54
this place. The Spaniards saw the Indians and00:14:57
in order to evoke due respect from them00:14:59
The Spaniards introduced themselves as children of the00:15:03
sun Francisco de Orellana knew that the00:15:06
local tribes worshiped this00:15:08
luminary, respectively, the children of the sun00:15:11
would have had great respect among them00:15:13
in general, this is a fairly common00:15:15
trick among the conquistadors, just00:15:18
remember Cortes, who also posed00:15:21
as a descendant of Quetzalcoatl, one of the00:15:24
supreme deities Orellana spoke00:15:26
to twenty caciques who had gathered00:15:29
to watch the conquistadors Francisco00:15:32
announced to them that from now on their country00:15:34
would become the property of King00:15:36
Charles I of Spain to commemorate the beginning of00:15:39
royal rule over this00:15:41
territory The Spaniards erected a00:15:43
large cross on the river bank However, obviously the00:15:46
local population was tired of the uninvited00:15:48
guests and their terror as a result, they00:15:52
became emboldened to enter into skirmishes with the Spaniards, and00:15:55
in order to avoid trouble, the Spaniards00:15:57
had to hastily leave this00:16:00
settlement in April. Now they were sailing along an unusually00:16:03
wide river; its size inspired the Spaniards with00:16:07
hope that the ocean was already close; the00:16:09
Indian tribes they met were00:16:12
hostile towards them; it must be assumed that it was00:16:14
bad glory ran ahead of their00:16:16
expedition, but the detachment continued to move00:16:19
along the Amazon in general. It’s difficult to imagine00:16:21
what was going on in their heads; they were00:16:23
surrounded by giant trees; a jungle with00:16:25
dense vegetation and a river more00:16:28
like a freshwater sea; whose tributaries,00:16:31
even the smallest ones, were much00:16:33
larger than the largest rivers of Spain; they00:16:36
floated unknown where they didn’t even00:16:38
imagine what might await them00:16:40
ahead, after some time they00:16:42
reached a new Indian settlement and from00:16:45
May 12 to 17 there was a skirmish between the00:16:49
Arellano Flotilla and the warriors of the cacique Macha Paro, as00:16:52
a result of which the Spaniards managed to kill the leader,00:16:55
plunder his village and sail away with the00:16:57
loot and Through for several days they00:17:00
saw a new powerful river, the Jurois, angry,00:17:02
followed the newcomers in a canoe, the00:17:05
white people00:17:08
tried to land on the shore several more times, but each00:17:10
time they received a rebuff from the former00:17:13
hospitality, not a trace remained on July 3,00:17:16
1542, another river appeared on the left,00:17:20
rapidly pouring into the Amazon00:17:23
Dominican the priest wrote down the waters of00:17:25
this river as black as ink, this river00:17:29
which they called Rio Negra, that is, the00:17:31
black river, the people of Arel entered, as00:17:34
the priest writes, into another even more00:17:37
militant province. And it was very00:17:40
populated and waged a tireless war with us, the00:17:43
reasons for such an attitude towards the aliens were00:17:45
crystal clear, capturing On June 7,00:17:47
another village and having defeated a detachment of00:17:49
Indians who tried to resist the00:17:51
invasion, Orellana ordered00:17:54
several prisoners to be hanged and the village burned.00:17:57
July 10 The Spaniards discovered the main tributary of the00:18:00
Amazon, Madeira, this river they called the00:18:02
Rio Grande, a big river, it seemed to them00:18:05
that it was even larger than the one along which they were00:18:07
moving on this river also there were00:18:10
settlements of Indians. However, they were no longer easy prey00:18:13
for the Spaniards. They were no longer easy prey; the Indians00:18:16
had time to prepare and gathered on the shore of the00:18:18
five-thousandth. Orellana had to00:18:21
hastily retreat and one must understand that by00:18:24
that time the people of Orellana were in00:18:27
complete despondency; they had already been sailing along the river for six months00:18:30
without end and end, dying from hunger,00:18:33
fever and constantly fighting with the Indians,00:18:37
as Kavar Al writes, we were carried to God knows00:18:40
where as doomed people and we did not00:18:43
know where we were, or00:18:45
where we were going, or what would happen to us.00:18:48
After some time, they00:18:50
reached another Indian village00:18:53
Later, called the burning, the00:18:55
local residents resisted00:18:58
and chose to burn alive with their wives00:19:01
and children rather than surrender. And now we00:19:04
move on to the most interesting key00:19:07
meeting, which gave the name to this00:19:10
longest river in the world. This event00:19:13
took place on the morning of June 24, on St.00:19:16
John's Day, boats were subjected to attack by a00:19:19
group of Indians and in general there was nothing unusual in this.00:19:21
However, the detachment00:19:24
was led by women, men, Indians00:19:27
turned out to be subjects of these Amazons, the carkha00:19:31
claims that 10-12 Amazons arrived to00:19:34
help their subjects and fought in the00:19:36
front ranks, and this is what00:19:39
the priest Kavar Al writes about this. They fought So00:19:42
inspired that the Indians did not dare00:19:44
show us their backs, the same ones who00:19:47
did show the enemy their backs, they00:19:50
killed on the spot right in front of our eyes with00:19:52
their fingers, precisely for this reason,00:19:55
the Indians staunchly00:19:57
defended themselves,00:19:58
very tall and white-skinned, with00:20:01
long braided hair wrapped00:20:04
around the head they are very strong they walk00:20:07
completely naked What the mother gave birth to and00:20:09
only shame is hidden in their hands00:20:11
Bows and arrows and in battle they are not inferior to a00:20:14
good dozen Indians and in this skirmish00:20:17
the Spaniards kill seven Amazons and00:20:20
take one man prisoner And he00:20:22
tells they know that the Amazons live00:20:25
far in the jungle in stone cities and the00:20:27
cities are00:20:28
very rich, female statues00:20:31
made of gold and silver are kept there, the Amazons have a00:20:35
queen called the crown and00:20:38
several neighboring tribes obey them and00:20:40
pay them tribute and obviously the Spaniards were00:20:43
extremely amazed by this meeting00:20:46
so much that they even decided to give the00:20:48
name to this river in honor of female00:20:50
warriors from Greek00:20:52
mythology amas in August it00:20:56
finally became clear to everyone nearby that the local00:20:59
natives had already met with Europeans and00:21:02
finally on August 24 the ships managed to00:21:06
reach the mouth of this amazing river, but the00:21:09
influence of the ocean tides began to be felt,00:21:11
this was expressed in the collision of a00:21:14
tidal wave with the rapid00:21:16
flow of the Amazon on the river A00:21:18
wave 5-6 m high arose, the local Indians00:21:22
called it a rotor of rot, the ships00:21:25
of the Spaniards were ready00:21:28
for such power, so they had to00:21:30
make a very long stop00:21:32
during which the masts were changed, the resin sides00:21:35
wove new ropes, and from old raincoats00:21:38
they made sails with huge with difficulty they00:21:41
still managed to go to sea thanks to00:21:43
calm weather and a calm sea,00:21:45
the brigantines reached the00:21:48
Spanish settlement of New Cadiz on the00:21:51
island of Caba Goa on September 9 and 11, thus00:21:53
ending this amazing journey00:21:56
that lasted more than months00:21:59
Francisco de Arellano and his crew00:22:01
became the first people to crossed00:22:04
South America and were the first people to00:22:07
discover the longest and deepest00:22:10
river in the world, the Amazon. By the way, such a00:22:13
rafting even today is considered a very00:22:16
difficult task. Of course,00:22:18
they didn’t find any Eldorad or any country of cinnamon.00:22:21
But they brought with them a large00:22:24
number of amazing stories and myths00:22:27
and Throughout this entire expedition, the00:22:29
Dominican monk kept very detailed00:22:32
diaries in which he described not only00:22:34
female warriors, but also huge villages,00:22:37
houses with white walls, cultivated fields shining in the sun,00:22:40
and much more. In general, a00:22:43
kind of Amazonian Civilization. However, the00:22:48
Portuguese who passed along the river 100 years later did not see anything like this00:22:52
No female warriors, no cities, not even00:22:55
large settlements, and for many years the00:22:58
de Harel expedition became a company of00:23:02
inventors who invented00:23:04
some wonderful myths for themselves in order to00:23:07
gain great Glory. And only at the end of the 20th00:23:10
century, the00:23:12
remains of some amazing civilization were actually found in the Amazon forests00:23:15
According to some00:23:17
researchers, the Amazon was inhabited in ancient times by00:23:20
millions of people; data was collected00:23:22
regarding the plants of the soil and00:23:25
landscape of the region, then this information00:23:28
was compared with the conclusions of linguists and00:23:30
archaeologists, it turned out that even before the arrival of00:23:33
people from Europe, the Indians knew how to00:23:36
cultivate 83 species of plants, we are00:23:39
talking in particular about sweet potatoes00:23:41
tobacco and cocoa have traces of domestication. The00:23:45
flora of the seemingly pristine00:23:47
Amazon forests, according to the ecologist and geneticist00:23:50
Charles Clement, in this territory there were00:23:53
numerous fields and villages in which00:23:56
millions of people lived. Due to the lack of00:23:58
stone, they really did not build00:24:00
pyramids like the Mays or the Aztecs, but they there were00:24:03
other technologies that provided them with00:24:05
enough food so that the00:24:08
Spaniards could well have been telling the truth and,00:24:10
by the way, becoming one of the reasons for the00:24:12
disappearance of this civilization, and00:24:15
even without the use of violence we are talking about00:24:18
diseases that they could bring from the00:24:20
old world and to which the local00:24:23
Indians simply did not have immunity but I00:24:27
am sure that you are all wondering what00:24:29
happened next to Francisco de Orellana,00:24:32
first I must say that Gonzalo Pizarro,00:24:35
without waiting for the expedition sent for food,00:24:37
considering it dead,00:24:39
undertook a murderous journey back00:24:42
through the Andes. He lost a lot of people and, of00:24:45
course, he became furious when he learned that00:24:47
Orellana was alive. and simply left him to die, he was00:24:51
accused of high treason,00:24:54
he returned to Spain in May 15th of the00:24:58
third year. By the way, he rejected a00:24:59
tempting offer from Portugal,00:25:02
which offered to subjugate all the00:25:04
regions that he explored on behalf of the00:25:06
King of Spain so that they would become00:25:08
Portuguese lands and he would be their00:25:11
governor. However, he refuses and00:25:14
appears before the court, Arellano is accused00:25:17
of rebellion, treason, and that he left00:25:19
Gonzalo Pizarón to die, it is true. However,00:25:23
at the trial, all these charges are dropped from him00:25:26
and the court acquits him, largely00:25:29
due to the fact that his team00:25:32
testified that they simply had no other00:25:34
choice except to move up the river,00:25:37
but I think that a big role in this matter00:25:40
was played by the huge lands that he00:25:42
annexed to the Spanish Crown. Francisco00:25:45
de Orellana got away with it the00:25:48
following year,00:25:49
1544, he married a young woman00:25:53
from Seville from a good family and with a00:25:55
fairly large devotee and he00:25:58
was rich again, he had large estates and a00:26:00
quiet life. However, just a00:26:03
few months later he becomes00:26:05
bored again and begins to assemble an expedition00:26:08
to colonize the river he discovered. However,00:26:11
merchants and lenders eventually refuse him00:26:14
sponsorship and he begins to invest00:26:16
his money by spring In00:26:18
1545, Orellana managed to collect00:26:21
four ships, but he was bankrupt and00:26:24
completely ruined, so he cannot00:26:27
equip the ships with everything necessary for the00:26:29
trip. The Spanish nobility says00:26:32
that the expedition was canceled. Francis de00:26:35
Orellana could not come to terms with the shame of00:26:37
canceling his expedition. And despite00:26:39
the ban, he leaves. During the trip, he00:26:42
even makes pirate raids to00:26:45
get at least the most necessary things by December 20,00:26:49
1545 He again reaches the mouth of the00:26:52
Amazon and, not paying attention to the00:26:55
warning of his crew, slowly00:26:58
starts up the river, but in November00:27:01
1546 his dreams of glory came to00:27:05
an end somewhere in the Amazon jungle00:27:07
Francis de Orellana dies of yellow00:27:10
fever without unraveling the Mysteries of this00:27:13
great river and at the time of his death00:27:16
Francisco de Arellano was only 35 years old00:27:20
what he saw in the Amazon jungle What00:27:23
cities What civilizations what women00:27:25
warriors scientists and adventurers have been guessing00:27:29
for hundreds of years but what -that00:27:31
