Answer:

The Colonists were Murdered

Explanation:

"In 1607, Captain John Smith tried to uncover what happened at Roanoke. He claimed that Chief Powhatan told him that he killed the people of the colony to retaliate against them for living with another tribe that refused to ally with him. Allegedly, Powhatan showed Smith items he took from Roanoke to support his story, including a musket barrel and a brass mortar and pestle. By 1609, this story reached England, and King James and the Royal Council blamed Powhatan for the missing colonists.

William Strachey seemed to back up the story, confirming the slaughter with his investigation in his work The Historie of Travaile Into Virginia Britannia. Powhatan claimed that he ordered the killings because there was a prophecy that he would be conquered and overthrown by people from that area. Contemporary historians and anthropologists dispute this story because there were never any bodies or archaeological evidence found to support the claim, but it has persisted for more than four hundred years.

Recently, author and researcher Brandon Fullam has reexamined Smith and Strachey’s sources and has suggested that the Powhatan massacre could have been the 15 settlers left behind from the second expedition, still leaving the mystery of Roanoke unsolved."

What is one effect of the unequal distribution of resources?
Phantasy [73]

Best answer:  B. Trade networks develop to exchange resources.

When one nation or region has resources that others do not, it can use those resources as a trade commodity to exchange with other nations.  For instance, areas that have rich oil resources will export oil to countries that don't have oil reserves as a natural resource.  In turn, those countries may have other commodities that they can exchange -- agricultural resources from countries with fertile agricultural land, for instance.

Question 1- What was the most famous sports competition in ancient Greece?
Maksim231197 [3]

The Olympic Games started in Olympia in 776 B.C. and for centuries Olympia athletic games were a cult for worshiping Zeus. Wrestling with no weight classifications, or scoring systems seemed to have been a brutal and barbaric affair but in reality, respect and fair play were present. Chariot racing is one of the most thrilling, and dangerous sports but Pankration which is a combination of boxing and wrestling with barely any restrictions was the wild center of the Ancient Olympic Games and seemed to be their preference. Boasting huge men of incredible strength, it became a fountain of wondrous stories and stirring myths. However Javelin and discus used to entertain  people who came from many cities to stand (not sit) and watch these athletes who originally played naked.
