Ireland's Supernatural Island that Can't be Reached

[@troberts235]

There are old men who live on the west and south west coast of Ireland who swear they have seen the mythical island of Hy Brasil. The strange coincidence is that they generally claim to have seen this mythical island after consuming about ten pints of Guinness in the local pub.

[@tones7mca]

You can literally see it on google maps, under the water. You can even make out that it is (or more accurately was), similar in shape as shown on many of the maps. Worth remembering that at the time these maps were made, they would have had no ability to locate or survey that location. Either the maps were drawn from passed down knowledge/legend, or it sunk more recently. Either way it seems entirely feasible that an island once existed there, but at some point "sunk" in some fashion. Fascinating.

My father, together with two friends saw it from Ballybunion Beach in North Kerry , in the late 1930's or early 40's. Locally it is called Killsthoheen, a corruption or the Gaelic, Cill Stiofáin, The Church of St Stephen. It is said to appear in misty or hazy conditions . Those who see it are destined to depart this earth within 7 years . This was not the case with my father , but one of his companions , Tom Carroll was lost in a British Submarine which disappeared in the Bay of Biscay lot long after . My father described seeing a church spire, roof tops and an old woman sitting under an archway. She appeared to be selling something from a cask or barrel. Hy Brasil is, of course , the Tír na nÓg , Land of Youth , of Irish Mythology .

I could be wrong but I think Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson have discussed the island and the timeline of when it supposedly sunk

[@MrBlimko]

Measurements underwater get tricky quick. Once the water reaches just above 'sea level,' the water will weigh down the land and sink the land. Any connected land can be affected as well. On the extreme end, the other end of the sinking land will be buoyed up like a seesaw. Or in the case of a shoal like this, their is no other end it could just be rapidly sunk farther/deeper than you'd think. Look into the 'missing' piece of land called doggerland, which probably existed for millenia longer than it otherwise would've after the last ice age in the north sea.

its also plausible that it was just "a rock"/tiny island sticking out of the water (especially due to low depth in that area), that was only visible if the waves were low. this kind of stuff if found around the world every so often. and later it could've just eroded combined with rising sea levels, completely disappearing

[@AudieHolland]

I read an account somewhere of a US sailor, who, during the War in the Pacific, had to abandon ship and drifted in their lifeboat for a few days. Without water, they started hallucinating. At one point the sailor noticed that their old ship, a destroyer, had appeared right next to them. The sailor started climbing up the shipboard and went inside looking for water. However, everywhere he looked, the taps were shut tightly and he couldn't move them. Disheartened, he climbed back down into the lifeboat again, lost consciousness and fortunately they were rescued a short time after. He marvelled at how he had experienced his old ship as something solid, he had climbed up and down onto it, had searched the decks and cabins but he concluded it must have been a hallucination. The fact that in the entire ship, not a single tap could be opened and he found no other provisions, told him he must have (very vividly) imagined it all.

From the book Phantom Islands of the Atlantic by Donald S. Johnson, in the chapter on Hy-Brazil : In fact, portions of the shallow banks west of Ireland were at one time above water. Shallow -water shells found at Porcupine Point, just beyond the one-hundred-fathom curve, indicate that at one time it was much closer to the surface, if not actually above it. The same kind of shallow-water shells have been found further north at Rockall, an inhospitable, solitary peak of granite with vertical cliffs that rise straight out of the water to a height of sixty-three feet. Rockall used to be a larger island that at present, and as recently as the seventeenth century, a nearby shoal was sometimes visible.

I think Hy Brasil along with Friesland (another 'mythical' island to the north of Hy Brasil) are folk memories of a chain of island that submerged along the mid Atlantic ridge along with the more well known Atlantis in the aftermath of the Younger Dryas Extinction Level Event. When the North American tectonic plate rose up like a seesaw the Atlantic plate margin sank. Rockall is all that is left of this chain.

Agreed. ~13,000 years isn't too long for an oral tradition to last as a vague cultural memory.

Hy Brasil may have been a real island 10,000 years ago. And it may have been awash for a long time after the seas rose so that it seemed to appear and disappear periodically. Most early "maps" were just an accumulation of memories of sailors years after their voyages had ended. Subsequent maps just carried on what the early ones said was there. It wasn't until cartography became a real science that these things were sorted out properly. But there is a suspiciously coincidental undersea rise right where Hy Brasil was supposedly located. Who knows how far some of those sailors memories go back?

[@daveharrison84]

That's quite obvious, any island which is not your intended destination can mean your death, because an island rises from the sea floor and might be surrounded by shallow waters and reefs. Better stay away if you do not have to be there. And there are other known rock formations just beneath the waterline where you do not expect them. So you'd better believe the map!

[@bryanodriscoll2123]

If the legend of this island began in the distant past there might have been something to it. Before the end of the last Ice Age the sea level was much lower than at present and many areas that are under the sea now were dry land at one time, including several areas to the west of Ireland. Where Rockall peeps above the waves now was once a substantial island, as was the area indicated as the Porcupine Bank. Many legends may have their origins much farther back in time than imagined.

[@MrToradragon]

I believe that I have read somewhere about plateau west of Ireland where ocean is less than 100 m deep. Certainly something like that is shown on some maps. So I would say that this is not far fetched at all. Problem is that our perception of history and world of the past is skewed by the world how we remember it. For example during last Ice age huge lakes and rivers rivaling Amazon formed in central Asia and the waters from the mountains of West Siberia went down towards Aral basin, Caspian basin and through strait between Don and Volga to Black sea. I have even seen speculations that story of Argonauts could have took place during that period. Given not so long lost features of river systems in Central Asia it could have been possible. Our memories are subject of distortion and people perhaps tried to map those old legends on what they knew. I believe that there could be some variation of HyBrasil legend along coast of western France, northern Spain and Portugal, if that is true and we would be able to find when those split from each other, or find some features in them that would help us date them, then we could get time period of this legends creation and then we can set clocks back, get the maps and find it.

even though the last ice age was many thousands of years ago, to me, it does seem possible that the island could have appeared during some of the more recent volcanically caused “cool periods” whereby the earth’s ice caps would have increased markedly, slightly lowering the seas possibly. It is only my wild guess but also the “cool periods” brought on by ash haze from volcano eruptions have been conclusively proven through ice core drillings and subsequent analysis and datings.

[@thenatespecial]

Aren’t there stories of countless islands that consistently rise and lower in the sea based on rising or decreasing sea levels?

Trouble is that sort of sea level rise for the seabed in that area would have been occuring 8-16 thousand years ago (so about the same time as early humans came to ireland give or take a millennium or 2) much as the area known doggerland was. However hybrasil only started showing up on maps C15 yet the much larger area of doggerland wasnt on the maps, the naming derived from the smaller dogger bank area recorded in mid C17(which would still have been underwater at that time)

One of the most famous navigators of the Middle Ages was Brendan the Navigator. (You can see his name "Brandain" at the top left of the map at 0:16) . His colourful tales of the Atlantic made his book the "Navagatio" the greatest best-seller (apart from the Bible) across Europe during the Middle Ages. His descriptions of the islands north of Scotland are interesting because they accurately describe the Shetlands and the Orkneys and the Faroes and even Iceland, which he described as "A land of Fire and Ice". In 1994 Ireland and Iceland and the Faroes Islands jointly published a commemorative set of 4 stamps (each in their own language) commemorating St. Brendan. An island on the east coast of Iceland is still called "Papey" (the Monks) which is where the early Viking settlers said Irish monks were living when the first Vikings arrived.. Mount Brandon in Kerry in Ireland is also named after Brendan the Navigator.

[@mrsokolov8954]

0:40 I've actually seen a case study from an Brazilian historian that spoke otherwise. Here we're teached that the name of our country came from Pau-Brazil, a tree that produces a Reddish type of ink that looks like the same color of embers (embers meaning "brasa" in Portuguese). However, the Portuguese had previously named one of the islands they discovered as Brazil when Brazil itself was called by them as Terra de Vera Cruz. This island now is called Ilha Terceira and is part of the Açoures Archipelago. So is much more probable that they actually just re-used a name that they had used before, but now for what was considered a bigger discovery. And due to Brazil status the original island lost it's name as to not get confused with Brazil. And just to make things even more confusing, apparently the mythological name of "Brazil" (the one used by the Irish) has also it's origins derived from the color red (derived from cinnabar to be more specific due to a latinization of the phoenician word for cinnabar {???}). So everything just goes full circle and there's no telling if Pau-Brazil actually helped Brazil to steal it's name or not, because both the mythological name and "brasa" have something to do with red. Jesus Christ, no wonder they don't teach this in school, AND RED IS NOT EVEN A COLOR ASSOCIATED WITH BRAZIL ANYMORE. (yet ☭). TLDR: Brazil got it's name by stealing it from an island that stole it from a fake island.

[@dimasgomez]

Not the color, but the ways. We are a fiery people, for sure. Now, seriously, that circularity is what makes a great name. But not in terms of "being named". The fact is that the land was full of people way before colonization (invasion). It is known as a fact that some places get a name from outsiders (like India from Indus river), but Brazil's name was somewhat negotiated here, in Brazil, because Portuguese was not predominant as a language here for almost three centuries. We talked a mix of tupi and guarani. Somewhat we are told that in the Courts it was called Brazil, but that doesn't mean anything. Men were called brasileiros, it seems more likely. The Portugal population was much smaller. Hence, absorbing eastern lore (european, african and asian), Irish lore, as much as Christian lore, was part of the process.

[@MakoRuu]

It's possible that High Brasil existed as some kind of localized temporal event. Due to the planets rotation, and position in orbit, and gravimetric forces, the veil between two different timelines lines up so perfectly as to create a gap between the worlds for a brief period like the gears of a clock all aligning to 12:00.

[@BoldOne8760]

The description of Hy Brasil is almost identical to the description of Tír na nÓg, a mythical Irish land. Hy Brasil is off the west coast of Ireland. It is hidden in fog for years and emerges every 7th Year. It is a paradise where inhabitants are immortal. "Tír na nÓg" translates to land of youth. It is a paradise hidden in fog or under the sea and is a place where people stay young forever. The story of Tír na nÓg is something we all learn in school here. Oisín was an Irish hero and fought with the Fianna. Niamh came to him from Tír na nÓg on a magical horse and they fell in love. Oisín went to Tír na nÓg for 3 years but missed Ireland. He returned to Ireland on the magic horse but fell off it. When he fell off, Oisín got extremely old extremely quickly, turns out time travels slower in Tír na nÓg and 3 years there was 300 in Ireland. Oisín died but not before St. Patrick bursts into the room and converts him to Christianity.

Bro, do you think this island is what Tolkien used for inspiration to create Valinor - the unreachable island of the Valar

[@SSD_Penumbra]

Chances are it was more inspired by Gaelic folklore, more specifically the Irish myth of Tir Na nOg, or "Land of the Young", where the gods and the fae live and never grow old. In the myth, a boy named Oisin is hanging out one day and he's visited by this amazingly beautiful woman who promises to take him away. Oisin, being a guy, obliges her and leaves his parents and friends behind. He's taken to Tir Na nOg and he stays for a bite to eat but says he has to go. The residents say that once he leaves, he can never come back. Oisin leaves anyway, only to find out that he's been gone for *decades* and that his friends and family are all but dead.

There are many maps that used information from far, far older maps that show islands/land that have been covered by water for thousands of years. One of the most famous is the Piri Reis map created in 1513 that shows Antarctica's as it would have been during the ice age.

[@gaz8891]

Actually that map might be from Bronze Age times, when temperatures were much warmer than today and quite probably the poles were ice free. It's called the Climatic Optimum and lasted from c.5,500BC to 2,000BC. The ancient Greek myths and legends probably date from those times, as do the early Bible stories.

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

Immediately brought to mind the mythical _Avalon,_ a land that only appears after passing through an enchanted mist. So you have to have powerful magic on board to see it and to approach it. Otherwise, it remains invisible to boaters. I'll bet some awesome stories have been told about the island.

They probably saw the lights of Boston or a lighthouse in America. Because as Eric Dubay, flatearthbanjo, flat out truth and flat water here on you tube says (and the many good and funny memes) the earth is flat. And only atmospheric conditions making fog, like only seeing things on a clear day. Makes us not see very far. Zooming in on ships. They don't go over any edge.

I assume lights from boats wasnt what they saw.

Established Titles is a scam, just FYI. Look into it! They're not actually selling you any land as the plots they "sell" aren't legally sellable in Scotland, nor does the title Lord come automatically with the ownership of a plot of land (that would make every person living in scotland who owns a house a Lord..?), and on top of that they're not actually planting any trees (at least there's no proof that they do).

Its not really a scam. its a novelty gift like naming a star or buying land on the moon. And the trees thing is verafiable, working with two genuine charities that most definitely plant trees.

You should really say in your sponsor section that buying a bit of land in Scotland doesn't actually entitle you to be a lord/lady and it's more of a joke/novelty gift. Neither does the money go toward planting trees in Scotland or anywhere else.

These sorts of islands no one can find anymore reminds me of something I read of about the mid Atlantic ridge. It would’ve been at a much higher level at the end of the last ice age, along with the sea levels being much lower. Mostly due to the ice caps above Canada. Imagine the weight of a 2 miles thick continent sized ice sheet impressing upon the middle of the N.A. continent causing the edges of the continental plates to rise to adjust. The area included & adjacent to Hudson Bay are still experiencing isostatic rebound today from the relief of losing those miles thick ice sheets on the surface. With this knowledge places considered legends or myth such as High Brazil or even Atlantis(the island, the culture idk) may have been places of refuge during the last ice age or at the least a savior for fisherman or sailors off Ireland or The UK. Or even those off europes western coasts blown to sea. Eventually to return infusing what we “know” as fairytale. But somehow still managing to make their way on to maps and into the greater “consciousness” of mankind.

Interesting connection between the infamous Rendlesham Forest UFO incident and Hy Brazil

[@IOwnKazakhstan]

It is possible that a real island was there, the northernmost point of (I believe) iceland is a tiny rock island, it used to be huge and important, but now, it barely exists there, it has eroded SO fast in fact that they don't really know what to do now because once it gets low enough, can they still really claim it as their own for border reasons? And the reason why I bring this up is because on google earth you can see a dark spot right where it is drawn on maps. It's small enough for me at least to believe that it could have been there but now be almost entirely eroded, I mean the waves out there get pretty strong to it's possible.
