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?

I get to search this island by just looking small islands in the map and got curious. Beautiful 😍
I really enjoyed the film and the amount of love behind it. As a filmmaker, I also saw how much the efforts were done to do all these beautiful footages and to create an artwork out of it. I carry both nationalities, Dominica as well as Syria. It was a surprise to hear about the Syrian Essa (Big Daddy). I only disagree with his statements on Muslim-Christian relationship in Syria. I feel, for the sake of fairness and humanity, I need to say that the statements aren’t fair at all and that what he mentioned doesn’t reflect reality. While I know that statements are personal, but adding them as part of our films and artworks will give them legitimacy. I saw how much love was behind the film and I wish it will stay fair. Please do more of these great films.
Excellent video
My Cousin and I went into Pagat Cave and prayed to and made peace with the Spirits there. We hauled all of the trash left by tourists out of there
My mother is a native Chamorro and was captive under Japanese occupation during the war of the Pacific
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 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.

Thank you for this cool view of my home.

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
