Macaronesia: Isles of the Blessed (Full)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- There are four Atlantic islands in the Macaronesia ecoregion: the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago; Cape Verde, an independent African nation; and two separate autonomous islands of Portugal: Azores and Madeira. This documentary covers all but the Canaries.
Because there is a set of small Micronesian islands in the Pacific, some of which LMM has filmed, like our two series' covering Guam, the Marshalls, Palau, the FSM and the Marianas, many assume there must be a macronesia (a large set of islands) somewhere in the world.
But the word Macaronesia has a completely different etymology and meaning from macronesia. Taken from the ancient Greek word, makárōn nêsoi, mentioned in Homer’s 8th Century BC work, the Odyssey, it refers to a semi-legendary place known as Isles of the Blessed, or the Fortunate Isles, a paradise reserved for special deities who were pure enough to gain entrance to the Elysian Fields.
Some say the islands were a mythical place, others say they were known. Today, the islands have been named Macaronesia in light of this Greek legend.
Is the ancient Greek mythology true? Could these islands truly be the legendary Isles of the Blessed, the Greek's Elysium, or possibly the ancient City of Atlantis?

The guide speaks excellent English but then most Azorean young people do. English is taught as a second language in the Azores we are almost more connected to the US than continental Europe due to heavy immigration there for over 150 years.
cool documentary
The contrast is unbelievably heartbreaking; the reasons history!
Very interesting! Young man speaks very good American English
Thanks for a great documents the history of our own people.great work La Mancha

There is a Macronesia North of Puapa New Guinea.. what is the difference?
that Micronesia, different in name to Macaronesia
Is that Asbestos on the roof of the school ? If it is that is very bad.
Good eyes. Never thought about it. Have to dig in
Someone please answer my question, if all of those islands are volcanic, how did the plants get there?
Mother nature produces all plants. It's God's creation.
Some seeds can float and survive in salt water for long periods of time. Some are brought by birds in their poop. Some were probably accidentally or even purposefully brought by early settlers.
Thank you for the explanation.
@@roblangada4516 Thank you. Great explanation.
