    Un’isola a caso al largo della costa irlandese?


    Ho comprato questo splendido dipinto/mappa del mondo da un negozio di beneficenza per una miseria due giorni fa.

    Penso che l’artista sia William Bleau. Un artista olandese, comunque è ovviamente una copia ma è enorme e sbalorditiva e mi piace molto.

    Mentre bevevo un bicchiere di vino, ho iniziato a guardare la mappa e ho visto questa isola casuale al largo della costa irlandese chiamata Brasile? La puoi vedere sulla mappa se ingrandisci, credo che sia una mappa del mondo del 1600.

    Ma comunque, qualsiasi informazione sarebbe fantastica!

      According to Irish folklore an island named Hy-Brasil was visible from the west coast of Ireland for only one day every seven years, the rest of the time it was obscured by fog.

      So that’s where our large cohort of Brazilians have come from 🤣🤣

      What do you suppose the rent on top of a whale is?

      It’s called Craggy Island. It’s not normally on maps though. They’re not exactly New York.

      In the middle of the night, if you listen really really carefully, you can hear samba music from very far away …. drifting over the ocean.

      Read this book, there are some parts of history we fully don’t know about. Some word we know as Irish language words we can show usage on Irish islands going a very long way back – are very close to words in Arabic and other languages and explanations for that today are hard. I got this book for Christmas Kris kringle thing a few years back – knowing nothing about it in advance – but asks worthy questions

      Thanks for all the helpful links! I’d love to know if any like studies or research group’s investigated its credibility or whatever.

      Me low-key hoping TG4 or RTE do some sort of short documentary about the so called island lol

      Yeah that’s Brafil. Have you never gotten the boat from Clifden to there?

      There’s a big apartment complex in an old building in Kilimainham called Hybrasil and it’s supposed to be haunted.

      There is a medical manuscript that still survives that according to legend, came from that island. The book of the o Lee’s/the book of Hy Brasil.
