The Lost Land Of Lyonesse

The Lost Land Of Lyonesse A Tale of Cornish Myth and Legend Deep underneath the ocean between Land's End and the Isles of Scilly, there lies a mythical land, known as- 'The Lost Land of Lyonesse.' According to legend, Lyonesse was a rich part of King Arthur's realm and consisted of a long stretch of land from Land's End at the southwestern tip of Cornwall, to the Isles of Scilly. A large castle-like cathedral was built on top of what is now the Seven Stones Reef between Land's End and the Isles of Scilly but the land was considered lost after being swallowed by the ocean in a single stormy night. According to legend, God took revenge against the people of Lyonesse, and their land, after they allegedly committed a crime so unforgivable. The storm wiped the kingdom from the face of the earth as if it had never existed. The kingdom was lost forever. Legend has it that a single man thought to be called Trevelyan escaped the land, wildly riding his white horse ahead of the furious wave. While the tale of the lost land seems legendary, there is some belief that Lyonesse was once a very real place attached between Land's End and the Isles of Scilly. With evidence showing that sea levels were remarkably lower in the past, it's greatly possible that the area did once hold a human settlement that is now beneath sea level. The lost land was believed to have many churches, 140 in fact. Listen closely and you might hear the bells still ringing from the churches that were swallowed by the ocean on that stormy night. #history #Land'sEnd #England #Cornwall #travel #drone #dronevideo #djimavic3pro
