Phantom Islands
Phantom islands were once believed to exist, though have since been proven nonexistent. Often, these phantom islands were included on maps and woven into myth and legend. In fact, we now know they don’t exist. When early explorers charted new territories, they occasionally made errors. Geographical errors crept in, leading them to misidentify the Baja California peninsula as an island. Other errors crept in to the optical illusions, fog banks, and even icebergs. Today, it is accepted that most of these phantom islands never existed. However, that is not always the case. Thompson Island, originally spotted in the South Atlantic Ocean, was last seen in 1893. By 1898, it had disappeared. Thompson Island probably disappeared due to a volcanic eruption in the 1890s.
The post Phantom Islands appeared first on Richard Cassaro.
Richard Cassaro is a journalist, speaker and author of “Written In Stone: Decoding The Secret Masonic Religion Hidden In Gothic Cathedrals And World Architecture.” The book uncovers a lost Wisdom Tradition that was practiced globally in antiquity, found memorialized in pyramids, Triptychs, and identical images worldwide. The central tenets of this tradition have been perpetuated in Western Secret Societies. The most visible of these is the so-called “Masonic Fraternity,” an age-old chivalric Order whose ranks have included Europe’s Gothic cathedral builders and America’s Founding Fathers. Richard has two websites: www.DeeperTruth.com and www.RichardCassaro.com
