Things we've learned from 'Legends of the Supes' - and questions for the team

1) The Jesuits used baling wire for their "booby traps".
1b) Baling wire will cut your head off like a guillotine in a shallow fall.

Question: Why were the Jesuits trying to trap boobies anyway???

2) Placing a handprint in a camp of grown men will make them run like scared schoolgirls.

Question: Why are they making Woody walk along a well worn road when an entourage of vehicles are following them?

3) Any line along a hill in the distance is assumed to be an old Spanish mule trail.

Must be more if anyone can point them out.

Those amazing Jesuits... how did they get their hands on something that was invented in 1933? :icon_scratch:

They found a cave that allowed them to travel in time and got them from the "Black Legion" that was invented in July 2014 right about the time filming started for the show! :laughing7:

I've learned that they know nothing about jesuits.

Jesuits were missionaries and explorers. They explored and mapped. I posted a map made by jesuits in the map thread. They did map mineral rich areas for the spaniards to mine. They were against indian slave labor and convinced spain to outlaw indian slavery. Thats a fact! They did make symbols to make mineral rich areas easier for the spainiards to find when using the jesuit maps. The symbol's were also on the map meaning that the symbols are basically useless if you dont have the map. Their symbols did not include lizard men symbols such as the one shown on the stone with the ladder to heaven or whatever they called it.

They know nothing about the peraltas. Miguel Peralta had general stores in AZ in the 1870's. I posted screen shots of a directory showing that fact. Of course it was ignored as is any fact that goes against what is believed.

They find a old carved latter on a bolder, next segment shows a more modern long wooden ladder hanging down from a cliff side over the Salt river as they cruze it in a motor boat..{ most likely used for some type of government surveys}. Still keeps my interest and I will continue to watch the show.

From what I've learned Frank and Woody would be cool to hang out with, even if they haven't changed their clothes with 5 weeks. :)

I can speak for Wayne when I say we know about Miguel Peralta and his mercantile stores. They just didn't talk about it on the show. I think you'd be really surprised how much knowledge Wayne has about all things LDM, and the history of central AZ.

Aha! I had suspected that the "dead Randy Wright" reference was an inside joke!

What we haven:t learned is were the{ Gonzales Map came from ?},what we know is Ruth got the map from Gonzales. After Ruth got
decaptitated by a animal and his remains scattered about, his hat was found and inside and tucked under the leather sweat band
was a note that said I came, I found, I conquered,{something like that}but the Map turned up missing. So cast members where did
that mysterious person get the map ?, can you tell us?or is it a made up for TV prop.

If your not aware of the Gonzales map your not doing your homework. It's been out there for years

Frank,

I have, of course, watched from the first episode. Enjoy seeing the mountains again and watching you guys sweat. I have avoided posting about the.....script. Have to admit some of the.....stuff has me smiling.:happysmiley: Ride that horse 'til his legs give out.

Take care,

Joe

Hi all don't mean to mess up any current discussions but I have a Question for you all- What units of distance measurement did the Jesuits and Spaniards typically use? I always here folks using feet when referring to the different maps but that doesn't make a lot of sense to me, thanks for steering me straight.
