A Strange Eye.

     Something strange happened just shortly. I have been researching an island called Hy-Brasil to see what I could find of it, whether it was real or made up by someone. I was looking at this map, when up in the far right corner it looked as if there was an eye in the place called "DOMS  HAP." I just noted it, then kept on.

Then I was surfing around looking at some Irish old books that looked like they were written in the language of music.   --Book of Ballymote--

And then I was checking out this to see what I could find.

 -- The Book of O'Lees / ‘Book of Hy-Brasil --


Then I came across this website, where when I scrolled down the page, a picture of a lady showed up, and the first thing I see, is an eye at the foot of her, which reminded me of that eye that I saw in the map up above. Weird.

Hahaha. Interesting. Today I woke up (Fri. June 2, at 6pm, I wrote the blog last night) and somehow, through some totally different subject, ended up on this website, which pertains hahaha to this material here. Lol. Funny stuff. Gotta love it.

Illusions, Confusions and Delusions

Mythical Geography in Antique Maps

"Old maps are filled with inaccuracies--rivers running a wrong course, cities placed incorrectly, coastlines lacking bays, and mountains, lakes and islands missing completely. The mistakes in old maps are one of the primary aspects which makes them interesting to us, and much of the history of cartography is the history of the correction of these errors. One category of cartographic error consists of what are called 'geographic myths.' These are geographic features that appear on the map but not on the earth; cities where none ever were, islands where there are but waves, lakes and rivers where there is dry land, and kingdoms of non-existent kings. Geographic myths populated most areas of the world and the history of exploration is filled with expeditions in search of chimeras that existed only on the map.

There were many reasons for the creation of these myths.... Delusions: many of the non-existent cartographic features came from beliefs with no real evidential basis, deriving from folk tales, legends, lies and hypotheses. Illusions: some myths were derived from the mis-perception of evidence. A cloud on the horizon might be seen as an island, or a native village perceived as a large, rich city. Confusions: other geographic myths were the result of evidence being jumbled or misinterpreted. A cartographer might misplace a lake from one region to another or an explorer might see a bay as a long-sought-for strait.

Once 'on the map,' geographic myths were very hard to get rid of. As Henry R. Wagner said, "There is nothing that has such an air of verisimilitude as a map." Failure to find one of these non-existent places or first-hand evidence that one of them was non-existent would not always lead to their banishment from the map. They would often simply be moved to another place or the evidence would be ignored. Some of these myths lasted for over a century despite evidence of their imaginary nature. Whatever their source or longevity, these geographical myths had a profound impact on the history of exploration and the story of discovery cannot be told without an understanding of these cartographic features.

In this section of our web site we describe some of our favorite geographical myths and list some maps from our inventory which illustrate these. Anyone who has questions, suggestions, or information about these or other geographic myths is encouraged to contact us on this matter."

I got it from this general site, and I just clicked on one of those in the list:

Stepping Stones.

Amazing Ancients: Archaeology & Alternative Prehistory

In "Stepping Stones," if you click on the title, "Sparky's Frisian/Inka/Sumerian/Shang Connection," you'll see this picture.

It says about it, "Shang Dynasty Potter's Marks [from Bailey's "Sailing to Paradise"]." They sure look similar to the Ogham ancient Irish writing.

So anyway, the Great Cycle is similar to the Little Cycle of the Moon. When the moon is waxing then you're moving towards the Golden cycle, when the moon is waning you're moving to the Kali Yuga cycle.
