The Strange Story of St. Augustine's Fountain of Youth

When there in 1964

Finally got to go there a few years ago. One of my favorite things in St. Augustine.

Also the site of the so called The Secret: A Treasure Hunt dig site theories. And I forgot to say great stuff.

Love st augustine!

Ponce De Leon was almost certain to have landed in Melbourne Fl. His voyage was even recreated in 1990

Fascinating background history.

Ok but she really said ⌛️

of course he was looking for the fountain and of course it wouldn't be documented 🧐

I was here just a week ago has a blast feeding the peacocks and drinking from that awful water (｡ŏ﹏ŏ)

I enjoy your videos .love St.augustine!

So the only reason we remember Ponce de Leon is a swindle??

Appreciate the history lesson, and all the images of the fountain of youth. I pass by... But, didn't went inside since I didn't have the whole family with me and I want to experience the place with the whole family. I seems big enough to have more than 6 ft apart.

You use the phrase "world class theme park" very loosely.

Many field trips In school and some off record cup fulls made me a believer. 48 years old drawing bulls of the year at Texas rodeos I state my testimony. Maybe bravery, joints healing or plainly youthful traits whatever it is that is in the water I have that to claim. I could climb a corral panel like a lemar or have a heaping portion of a hoof or horn sandwich and still made the very next rodeo. 🤘

someone was really thirty it was Ponce its true make no mistake about and he kicked ass

Much has changed since I took my drink 🍸 in 1971

Ah yes, this pogtastic park.

Now I kind of wish that I had gone there while in St Augustine. It seemed just to be a tourist trap when I was there. I didn't realize that it held actual history.

I live a mere 25 mes away and have for 16 plus years, stiller haven't visited the place

Almost halfway through the video and you still haven’t said what this place actually is.

Thanks for destroying the enchantment of the tale, sir.

Just got back from st agustine,
Got to see the night of lights. Beautiful, got to eat at the prohibition kitchen, Harry’s, museum’s. It’s a really beautiful place. I filled up my cup all the way up just cause of the history thibking Ponce de Leon drank the same water. Beautiful town

Great information.

I was there in the late 1970's. There was not much there at the time. Only one spiget dispensed water out of the side of a wall, not the same location as now, staff was rude, the whole room smelled of sulpher.

Those silly (useless) cloth masks were so ridiculous. Never again.

Nobody may want me to say though sulphur is mineral good for skin / body cells. Not too much/ not too little

Or eat eggs

USA had natural resilience
