The Real North Pole: 5 Mythical Ancient Islands That Might Actually Exist
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ย. 2023
- There are many stories of places that have been deemed mythological, only for it later to be discovered that there is much more to these myths than was first thought. Hvítramannaland, also variously known as Great Ireland and White Men’s Land, is one such place.
Amongst the most significant and influential of ancient Norse texts are the Saga of Erik the Red and the Saga of the Greenlanders. These sagas allude to the island of Hvítramannaland, described as being six days sailing west of Ireland, or alternatively, somewhere near Vinland, the name once given to the coastal area of eastern North America.
In the Saga of Erik the Red, the native people of Hvítramannaland were described as always being dressed in white and that they, quote, "uttered loud cries, bore long poles, and wore fringes." Another source mentions albinism in the population, with "hair and skin as white as snow."
Gerardus Mercator, the Flemish geographer and cartographer who created one of the first world maps, also mentioned a similar land in a 1577 letter to John Dee, the English academic and occultist.
In the letter to Dee, Mercator mentions that, in the 14th century, a group of eight men had come to Norway from a distant land, claiming to have been part of an expedition sent by the legendary King Arthur of Britain, and that they were, in fact, his fifth-generation descendants.
The true location of the legendary Hvítramannaland, is a subject of scholarly debate, with several theories proposing locations along the Eastern seaboard of North America. Carl Christian Rafn suggests the Chesapeake Bay area, referencing Shawnee legends of "white men with iron instruments."
However, historian Farley Mowat offers a more detailed theory, placing the land on Newfoundland's western shore.
According to Mowat, European settlers from the northern British Isles, referred to as Albans, reached Iceland, Greenland, and North America before the Vikings. These Albans, thought to be the original Neolithic inhabitants of Britain, were displaced by the Celts and pushed to Europe's northwestern fringes.
Mowat asserts they were skilled walrus ivory hunters, which led them to discover and settle in Newfoundland due to its suitable land for farming and rich walrus population.
Mowat argues that the Albans' presence in Newfoundland predates the Vikings by centuries and that their settlements along the southwest coast influenced Viking exploration.
The Vikings knew the area as Hvítramannaland, and Mowat speculates that voyages by figures like Leif Erikson were attempts to raid this land, which either failed or resulted in hostile encounters with the natives.
The Albans are believed to have maintained connections to Europe into the early Middle Ages, but these links were severed by the 14th century as European pirates forced their migration inland, where they assimilated with other populations.
Mowat's theory is a fascinating possibility, placing the Albans and Hvítramannaland at the heart of an untold chapter of pre-Columbian transatlantic contact and settlement in the New World...

Ancient cartographers were notorious for putting in "fake" islands as sort of a signature of works so as to stop plagiarism. You would see other people's claimed maps but with the same fake island on it and knew it was a copied map. Not saying all or any of these are, just that it was a thing they used to do.
Yeah exactly what I would say also
They still do it but with towns now
I have been looking at a lot of ole European Charts or for yOu Landlovers a Map for Mariners. Their are on all maps or charts of possible connections to land coast. Only scaling of all these overlays are off. If a scale factor to scale of all of them by X, then this is true.
@@ghidorahs1fan209 Yeah thanks for jogging my memory! Totally forgot about that until I read your comment.
Since our own map is based directly from a map made in 1569, I imagine the issue still exists, not to mention the extreme size distortions as you move away from the equator
I've heard that the word "apple" was used for any fruit that didn't have a specific name at the time. So, for example, the "Apple" from the tree in the Garden of Eden wasn't actually an apple as we know it today, but written in text was named an "apple" because the writer didn't know what specific fruit it was. So if you read about "apples" in historic text or when referring to legend, just be aware it could be any fruit that they couldn't identify and just called it an "apple" for ease of use.
In the Bible it just says "fruit"
And "corn" for grains.
@4amcripple some theologians believe "fruit" refers to sex.
I like eggs.
The bible does not say "apple", it says (roughly) "God said do not eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil or you will surely die", and they ate, and they did not die.
It is right at the beginning of the book, it is really easy to read, if you haven't read it why would you feel qualified to tell us what it said.
The Black Rock story was very intriguing...
Great work, as always! ❤
Always interesting! Watch each new one as they drop, Thank You!
The BEST intro music on the web....
An island called "hybrazil" off Ireland should have been number 6 on the list x
It was but it keeps disappearing off of it.
*Hy-Brasil, but I agree.
@@alexritchie4586
There's no y in Gaelic language just if we're looking for truth
@@anything6398 That's literally what it's named on maps. I don't know the etymology of the name, just relaying it.
The screams those people heard may have been deer. In my town we have muntjac deers and their call is very eerie
Likewise with foxes fighting. I live in rural England, and the sound of foxes fighting at night is terrifying; Screams and screeches that sound exactly like human women being attacked, that dash back and forth across the landscape at incredible speed, at first in front of you, then behind you, then hundreds of feet away. If I didn't know the nocturnal screeches were from fighting foxes I'd swear I was listening to a woman being brutally murdered as she's being dragged at incredible speed across the ground.
@@alexritchie4586 oh yeah and foxes, I live opposite a cemetery and every night there are foxes making noise, deer and and an owl all making a ruckus lol
@@balthazarasquithever heard a Tassie devil fight? Or mate? I don’t mind my foxes or deer on the mainland.
@@Timbo6669 no never heard that, I imagine it makes quite the noise
@@balthazarasquith it the reason they’re called _devils_ (from the noise they make).
Ty for your videos and dedication to providing very very well paced and spoken / visually done.
I have a theory that this is where "Black Rock" derived their name. As in they are sitting atop the world, marking the axis, around which the world revolves.
Rupas nigra
That is what I thought too...
no black but negro ,no one called black that island but negro ,is like translatin the gaia or terra to land
It's commonly thought now that Glastonbury Tor (hill) was once entirely surrounded by water in the 6th Century time of Arthur before the land was eventually terra-formed & drained in the Medieval period for crop-planting. If true the Tor most certainly would've looked like an island in the middle of a lake back then.
What??
Glastonbury Tor hasn't been surrounded by water for over *six thousand years* now, so when you say "it's *commonly thought* that... etc." who exactly is "thinking" that?
No-one.
At least not the people who are capable of critical thinking- hell, even a quick Google search would tell you that's a load of horse shit, and it doesn't take a Ph.D to use Google now does it.
So the only people "commonly thinking" the Tor was an island fourteen hundred years ago are idiots, who obviously aren't capable of 'thought', so what they "think" is beyond irrelevancy.
Would you like me to show you how to type stuff into your search bar?
It might help you to not look like such a spaz the next time you're tempted to post complete and utter shite in comment sections.
Or would you need me to explain *what* a "search bar" is first...

Thank you for your videos I always appreciate them
All are appreciated except the one we shall not mention….
@@HarupertBeagleton-dz5gwwhich one??
"white mans land" is RACIST!!!
@@chriscarter8593I think you know
Hello from Newfoundland, love your videos😊
Ever heard of the demon isles???
I could watch this content all day...
Im so thankful for every video you post...they are always interesting and always entertaining.
Dark5 you never disappoint and you have educated me on things I thought I knew well .. ty for your hard work
Always love when this channel, or the connected others upload! ❤
Tesla said there’s no such thing as gravity or electrons…. He wrote papers on them……
Nicola Tesla wrote a paper on electron denial ?
Electron exist... But I entire universe there is only one that exist
Well thats just not true. According to Tesla, he believed that gravitational effects could be explained through electromagnetic interactions rather than the curvature of spacetime or the attraction of mass.
I've been known to bare a long pole wear white and utter loud cries!!
Holy shit! This explains a lot!
That's my people!
New this year and over 21million views, congratulations and well deserved for excellent work and talented presentations.
Ohhhhh my friend your one in a million.... Great video again... All these places seems like a blast to go on vacation to 😂
Will continue to be amazed. Thank you
As someone who lives near Glastonbury, its nice to see it featured in a Dark5 video. Thanks for the interesting content ! Would 'myth' that in the Battle of Hastings King Harold wasn't actually killed but escaped and lived under another name be a good ancient mysteries to explore ? The battle of 1066 isnt everything it seems to be ! :)
"History is written by the victor", is another way of saying "we only have one side of the story". Propaganda and the preferred story is often what gets passed down as history. In Egypt there are hieroglyphics that boasts of an Egyptian military victory over the Hittites, that restored peace. Decades latter we found Hittites recording of the same event saying Egypt had agreed to pay a tribute for the Hittites to end the war and the attacks.
The Bayeux Tapestry is largely mythical, designed to affirm William's legitimacy as King of England rather than depict historical events. However any story relating to Harold Godwinson surviving Hastings/Senlac is of very dubious provenance. Monarchs don't vanish into obscurity and any rumour pertaining to Harold's survival would have been ruthlessly pursued by William's barons until its perpetrator was very publicly brought to account. Harold was also a very powerful Anglo-Saxon Earl prior to ascending to the throne and, as history shows, that kind of power is addictive.
Sounds like the World Extortion Forums plan too , re write history to suit itself , just in time for the great flood and pole shift one thinks.
All in all I’d have preferred Boudicca to have won , that way the Vatican wouldn’t own us as slaves

Another awesome video!
Another great video, thanks
Rupes nigra, black rock, like the company that owns most of the world's businesses?
Wow you out that together all by yourself?
Could be Tir na Nog , "Land of the young " Irish mythology pretty famous story one of the first we learn growing up.
Another name Hybrazil
I love it. You changed the thumbnail so that the chia pancake people wouldn't get excited.
Before watching it, i hope flat earth would be mentioned as well as Rupes Nigra!
What Plato speaks of as Atlantis was a populated, organized and technologically advanced North America with resources work population
Hm. How did you derive that?
Of you read what he wrote america is the only place that fits. The Mayan say were from a great race of seafarers called the Naga. The Egyptians say they came from a civilization from across the ocean after a catastrophic event that destroyed their homeland. Much of this was discovered in the 1800s and has since been forgotten about. The books and articles are still out there for anyone who wants to know.
Eye of the Sahara is 100 percent the most likely location. Too many things add up.
Avalon by Roxy Music, is an incredible song...
Is it just me or does the island called black rock line up with the dark knight satellite and could be why earth inhabitants of the goldilocks zone is possible
I thought about that too 😂
I really like this new channel. Please keep it up!
Many memories of our ancient forefathers went back in time to much older sagas and legends from all that islands that existed in the Atlantic and Mediterraneum, when the sealevel was up to 160 meters lower... This was in the period of ca. 12800 to 11600 years before us, when comet-debris caused the biblical flood and huge cataclysms in this Younger Dryas age... Former known isles sank under this terrific Tsunamis. At the northwestcoast of France you still see stonerows going into the sea... The Northsea didn't exist before this Megaflood, it were inhabited plains with grasland, rivers, and lakes with Mammuts... And on ancient maps of the Aegean sea you see many isles that are now under water... Imagine how many ruins should be found there...
We need hundreds of brave divers for all that research work at the submerged continent shelfs. Like Franck Goddio, James Ballard.
Very cool to reference Farley Mowat!
Australia has Van Diemons land & Black Rock... Also Avalon ... Strange

The black cube, again?
How about this:
The city under the
Grand canyon????
The preistoeic lake at the low end of Death Valley???
What’s a Borg cube doing in the ocean?! 😮
seems like clickbait
Marvelous work! For part two, add the mysterious Fantasy Island, Skull Island and the mythical Rhode Island
Damn my high ass started Googling fantasy island
Rhode Island is named after Rhodes in Greece and while not an island, the state contains a lot of islands. People who think the state was poorly named are just grasping at straws.
@@User31129 I understand the name but I believe based on the use of English that "Rhode isles" would have been a more accurate name. Would even imply that it was named after something that came before not someone named Rhodes which is what I had assumed in the past
The Celtic tribes displaced the beaker people, who had displaced the curved wre before them, and before them were the mound builders. No-one knows who was first. That picture you chose for an 'alban' is...interesting...
North 02 has excellent videos on this. IIRC, the aurignacian culture was first. You can probably check the haplotype article on wiki to get the actual genetic info. The celts were WAY after, of course, and I think they're all R1b. I believe the Welsh carry the last remnants of the original inhabitants, as well as a bit of Viking/Frisian blood.
Thank you Dark5. Excellent, as always! :)
Why the thumbnail pic look like the labyrinth in botw
Im in newfoundland right now!
Remember, the original maps were always incorrect. But many of them point to evidence that isn’t blacked out on google maps. Black Rock and the surrounding territories that aren’t able to be visited anymore.
I would like to know the mystery of "The War of the Roses", How Cortes conquered the Incas, the mysterious origin of the Nordic gods, the mysterious origin of Thoth, the Sphynx's connection to Thoth and writings in the "Book of Thoth" making references to Atlantis?
Look under Egypt
Cortez conquered the Aztecs. Pizarro conquered the Incas.
The British Isles didn't have apples until the Romans showed up.
love apples regardless an apple a day keeps the doctor away
keep it up man :)
Dark 5 channels are some of my favorites ..
Future video: historical stories of fairies and other mythological beings. They are terrifying.
Skull island Themyscira island of the dead moon scar island
fantastic content great presentation.
Can you tell me a bedtime story about "White Man's Land" it sounds amazing!
I agree!
It sounds like a wonderful place to live!
Prob the best channel on TH-cam these days tbh
When the Portuguese Ship that was forced to land on Antillia during a storm, one has to wonder why they would have taken a sample of the Beach Sand, discovering that 1/3 of the sand was gold. It isn't as though they were exploring the Island for a settlement, besides one was already there. Also Beach Sand, not soil for farming ? I don't believe that this happened nor was it ever the practice of ships.
I mean if u seen sand that looked odd like golden color I would be curious.
Can you do a video on ancient flying machines
Cool video D5 😎👍👍
The North American Charts have islands that did get retaken by the sea in 1700s and 1800s along USA and Canada. Those events happened with geography events causing those events in Official Government local records.
Thanks for a great presentation of deep TRUTH... are you still active with comments please 🍀🍀🍀🍀
Great stuff!!
what is that painting at 2:44? Tried reverse image search, didn't get a match.
That’s the island where Santa lives 😊
Santa Monica.
I like that the French noblewoman's MAID was also exiled to Demon Island. Says so much about what was wrong with society. And that the woman was rescued but her maid died there. Bloomin' 'eck.
Everybody should read Farley Mowat! If you can find his “Top of the World” Trilogy it is incredibly fascinatingly presented history of man’s explorations of the North.
There are many versions and takes on the Aruthurian mythos, and its cool to learn something I never knew regarding the claims made by those monks about their home. Lol commercialism was a thing even in the ancient past, and they really wanted that SWEEET tourist cash :P
most myths/stories are based on a real thing. but things got twisted/added etc everytime it was told by someone else over the centuries. and off course they didnt had a word/knowledge for all the things. for example: a modern day lighter in 1500 would be called magic. someone with a flamethrower would mostlikely be called a god that could shoot fire in ancient times. simple "modern" day things that would be magic/godly in those days
I could barely tolerate listening to your voice & cadence, but enjoyed the content.
First time ever I hear of Morgana as the ruler of Avalon, and I’ve read and heard lots about Arthurian lore….and based on that, I can tell you that’s probably the invention of some fiction writer - Avalon is King Arthur’s holy sanctuary, the place where as per the legends he’s supposedly waiting (some myths say in sleep) until the world needs him to return, whereas Morgana is (in basically the whole lore) one of if not his main antagonist. Unless Morgana ruled Avalon before Arthur’s death, it’s quite unlikely (I’d say almost impossible) that Arthur’s resting sanctuary would be ruled by his greatesr foe.
Electromagnetism…….
Nice saturnian black cube.. Did it help?
1:40 what is the name of this map?
I think all of history is questionable esp the mainstream history
Only fools don't question the mainstream and, when it comes to history, people forget that history is derived from "his story." We can only be certain that someone is certain that something occurred on a given date. We can go back after the fact and acquire evidence. We can measure things, review the weather in that spot for that day, and even determine the position of the planets on that day. What we can't do is be there at the time it occurs. Even if we could, the event itself, if it involves humans, would still require further context in most cases I can conceive of. Funny how most people don't get that.
I would like to see a video showing that Hebrews are the Chosen Race.
lol 😂
Chosen by who and for what?
This was a good one
That first island sounds great
Oops. Did you forget about Hy Brasil?
I'm not ready yet.
"white man's land"? Based
They were albinos who wore white clothes.
Can u get on ryan gable's show the secret teachings
What about the fountain of youth? I'm curious if it's real or not
I just downloaded a video someone else did about the same arctic murcadur maps, why older ones look odd, and it was all because of misconceptions of a supposed hyperborian land...
If you're doing Avalon what about Lyonesse?
He said, I’ve looked for them, they aren’t there……..
iron is not magnetic while molten. kinda falls apart after that, eh?
How about when it's under immense pressure and spinning at a high velocity?
What kind of a statue do you build on your shore that make people not want to land on your island?
The entire beach is gold
Thank god for the firmament, wouldn’t have air pressure pushing down on us……. Why is it, higher the altitude, the colder it gets, closer to the sun and less atmosphere to filter it, should get warmer………..
Less molecules to collide with one another.
Rich walruses? Who was out there giving walruses money?! /s
Is it possible for Greek subtitles?thank you anyway.❤
My right-off-the-bat reaction to the first island’s name: “….wha’?” 👂🤣
