Macaronesia: Isles of the Blessed (Full)
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?

La mancha media is dumb dumb
Hang on a minute. I just got to the part where the narrator tried to pass off the blame for this mass murder from “Religious extremism”, to “Atheistic Communism”. What a load of utter BS. Let’s not forget that Jones was an evangelical pastor. Neither atheism, nor communism deserves any blame for what happened in Jonestown. The blame lies squarely at the feet of a narcissistic, paranoid cult leader & control freak who was high on amphetamines. His whole world came crashing down around him the minute those who weren’t indoctrinated had the courage to ask Leo Ryan for help.
I'd love to see side by side comparisons in the jungle of what used to be at the compound and what it looks like now
I also grew up on Guam. Went to Santa Barbara elementary, Dededo Junior High, John F. Kennedy High school and University of Guam. I love Guam and the food is amazing. Hafa Adai God Bless! ❤

Chuuk is not an American country! It is independent
I feel alot people resonates with his sotry because all of us are dealing with a mental persion and each day we try to escape and until one day it will be ture; we won't give up.
I had a marshalese friend several years ago while working at a casino. She was a beautiful person who had since passed away from cancer.
I just talked with a SamoaAmerican in my town though he got angry at me for knowing ancient of New Zealand .. did not do anything wrong ....!!?
Beautiful island. Shame its been indoctrinated bt the catholics church
Please Pray and Donate to the Santa Maria del Mexicano Orphanage. Miracle Report= I woke up a few weeks ago and spoke the name of Mike Ross. I didnt know who he was.

I Tuely believe GOD and the Blessed Mother Led me to the Santa Maria del Mexicano Orphanage. PRAISE GOD!!🙏⛪
That's amazing thank you very much. Mike was a great friend very generous and giving of himself. I'm sure your pinch is going to be very thankful for your donation.
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

I liked this one about Dominica.👍
Great video. Seems like the guy that owns the fitness place, doesn't want his people to make a living wage. I wonder how much of his bottom line is provided by the US and starkist.
Excellent documentary!
Really love this video honestly
That dude at the 5 minute mark was speaking very good facts
It was a good video until you lost me on the Christopher Columbus discovery.

My Dad, Anthony F Staub Sr. (passed 2-4-2022), built that chapel in this video for Margret. I visited GSC with my Dad around 1998 or 1999 and stayed there at the clinic. Is GSC still operational? I'd like to reconnect with Margret.
MWA meet mwa 🎉❤🎉
I'm visiting here next year ! Im excited ! 😊
Thank you for this cool view of my home.
awesome shirt…. go Michigan!!
The place develop day by day display so nicely sister nice environment place ❤
It's a shame that Christianity poisoned the island... such arrogance
This guy is such a piece of shit 😅 he’s really talking about fighting against raising the minimum wage in Samoa 🇼🇸
USAF Crew Chief here. Got to stop here while we were on our way to Another country across the pacific. Wasn’t even planned originally. But i fell in love with this land and truly wish to come back to visit it and maybe even live there someday if i am able to
Bravo to not allowing outside land owners 🙏
WHERE IS PART 2 AND 3 ???
Sadly american samoa getting like hawaii! Samoan should be united and rule they samoa without another!
Samoans in American Samoa aren’t getting effected by American power due to the island not being an official territory, Meaning their not going into statehood anytime soon.
America needs to end colonies. Statehood for most of them including DC!
I dont feel sorry for these idiots! They're not victims, they're extremist homicidal maniac's who killed defenseless babies and innocent children! 900 plus ignorant morons were more than enough to stop that madman. Instead, most chanted and rejoiced that they'd killed the congressman while they forced their children to drink that evil potion. Cyanide poisoning is a cruel death! Their children could breath Out' but they couldn't breath in! That's what the poison does to the oxygen in your blood stream. Those kids suffered like hell before they went limp! My heart goes out to the children of Guyana' while my thoughts are hoping that the adults are lightly roasting in hell! They deserve it!
I was stationed on Guam in 68 at Baragada Comstay surf Tellafofo Bay in storms and the boat basin great people

Great video , happy travelling to Richard too! God bless " aFeed my sheep charity"!
These colonies are not forgotten.
After watching, I wanna visit the country. But I dont have no one that I am a friend for, 😢.
