Gone to Croatan
The British Museum has re-examined a 16th century map of North Carolina and found hints to the destiny of the lost colony at Roanoke in the form of hidden markings showing the location of a fort further inland.
The analysis suggests that the symbol marking the fort was deliberately hidden, perhaps to shield it from espionage in the spy-riddled English court. An even more tantalizing hint of dark arts tints the map: the possibility that invisible ink may have marked the site all along.
