I do not subscribe to history. Within the text lies a terrified child. Let’s go deeper. History.
Coronado, from Culiacan (one-hundred leagues Northwest of Mexico city.) in 1540, took a troop of high-up Spanish soldier-boys into the Mexican Highlands.
The soldier-boys were playing too much grab-ass with the maidens, and causing too much ruckus in town.
It was decided to mount a regiment and ride into the Mexican outback. Coming in contact with the natives, exploring their dwellings, dress, and sustenance. How were these people making it? In 1540 Arizona, Aguacalientes, Mexican Highlands, New Mexican land of old. g-old. Carazone mi amore!
Some of our finest American booty.
In this tale, allegedly transcribed from letters written to/from Spanish King and court, the Spanish Conquistadors describe a land of milk and honey. Cibola.
Here’s what I learned:
- They were living in multi story housing.
- They grew crops of corn, beans, and melons.
- The traveling Querechos, eating only the meat of buffalo, always have superior bodies and form.
- Multiple reported instances of giants, especially in Baja.
- Some of the virgins were found nude.
- They dug saunas in the earth for warmth. (Estafu)
- Turk, the Indian, led the Conquistadors on a wild goose chase.
- In hopes of wearing down the Spanish men, horses, and provisions– and leaving the Europeans to die alone on the central plains, nothing but cow patties for grave markers.
What questions me about the “Coronado Expedition”?
The conquistadors are always falling off their horses and killing themselves.
The Jesuit friars fabricated stories of mineral wealth.
No significant mineral wealth was reported.
The detailed letters from multiple sources is something of an outlier. Why did this expedition get documented in such great detail? Jesuits.
But wait. Here’s the deal. Because the synagogue of satan has changed the names of every location in the text– No historian can accurately identify the places referenced in this book. The actual Coronado route remains a mystery.
What happened? Exactly? Tell me from the beginning. History.

must result from this journey and so wished to break it up in this way.
