What word was carved in the tree at Roanoke?

Croatoan


What do you think this word means croatoan?

One might use "Croatoan" to mean "mysterious" but it would depend on context. "Croatoan"doesn't have a standard dictionary definition. "Croatoan" was the word carved into an abandoned fort where the Roanoke colony had been. The colony was formed in 1587 and abandoned mysteriously sometime before August 1590. No one really knows what happened to them. There was a local tribe of native Americans called the "Croatans" (only one "O") so one theory is that the colonists were absorbed by that tribe.

Why did Roanoke dissapeared?

The answer is unknown. If you do not like my answer look it up some other place. They just disappeared when the others came back. The only clue was Croatoan carved in a tree. They might have gone to the island Croatoan and maybe they never made it. This is just a guess.
