Frisland, the Fake Isles. 

1:07 obviously the map is very inaccurate, The mythological lands of "Denmark" are illustrated on it as well.

lol this is bs, those cartographers wouldn't make such a great mistake, you shouldn't dismiss it

Hard disagree, there is good reason to believe the island did exist. It simply eroded away over the centuries because it wasn't a rock island. If you search for 'rockall platue' you will find this at roughly the point where the maps show frisland, there is still 1 tiny rockpoint left above the waves now, called rockall island

I don’t believe he made an inaccurate observation, or made up a fantasy Island. I think there’s more to it.

I guess they forgot the ice huh? This was clearly a real place. On some maps, after it had disappeared, it states “this was the former spot of the sunken land of Friesland” The problem with this island being a so called phantom island is many things. First-all the mapped cities. Even singular maps of these cities Secondly-there is no ice?! What is going on with no ice anywhere on any map from the 1500’s to the 1700’s that has been authenticated. Which is most! Lastly (of what I shortly want to point out) many different map makers made their own individual maps. Not just copied. There is over 50 different cartography map makers who done this in the 200 year period. Map making was a big business back then.

Estonia-land?? Now, this is a story all about how My map got flipped-turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute Just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Venai

I always wondered what it was. I have a lot of old maps. I thought it was a misplaced faör islands

I didn't even know those were lilies on the Friesland (almost called it frisian) flag, and I'm Dutch

Doesn't exist now but it existed then.

1. Its name is presumably also unrelated to the ancient kingdom (and later county) of Frisia? 2. How do you smelt pyrite for _years_ without realizing it ain't gold? 3. Unfortunately for Nicolò, the only lasting legacy of the name "Zeno" was the ancient Greek philosopher. This means that when people think "Zeno," they don't think "island discovery hoax," they think "Achilles _can_ catch up with a tortoise, you dolt".

hahahaha it is a fake island? then please tell me how their decendants end up in holland...yes in the north of holland. Some fled their island which was attacked by giants...and moved east...holland.

Highly reccomend the book Venetian Explorers by Andrea di Robilant. Goes into a lot of depth on this theory. It's much more likely that Zeno referred to the faroe islands and did in fact make it to Newfoundland, modern day Canada. Or at the least Niccolò most likely did not entirely forge this account. That he did was a misconception popularised in the 19th - early 20th century by Danish and English nationalists wanting to claim the north for themselves and retain national pride

Those darn Venetians!

Still a little bit confused, was it a completely fabricated story?

I honestly saw this as Friesland, instead of Frisland.

Friesland and the fake wadden Isles XD

Should make an artificial island like it

So do frisland and friesland have same root. What makes them so similar.

Fake, ha? Yeah sure..anything u say bro

My husband insisted he was a Friesian, not Dutch. Well!! My daughter did her DNA. Well! She has part Friesian. So, it has to of existed. Groen is the color green. Handsome man a very intelligent beautiful business minded daughter like her dad. Scandinavian both and me 38% also.

That's funny that he might have correctly guessed the existence of America but abandoned that to promote his fake island.

A great video to start the year!

Frisland = Newfoundland Canada homie. They discovered it secretly in the 1320s. The Knights Templar flag is still the flag of the native Mi'kmaq people.

Some cartographers invent paper towns. Nicolo Zeno invented a freaking ISLAND.

Actually I'm pretty sure it's just a really sucky depiction of Newfoundland

They are pompebleden get it right

This is Soliloquys second video in a row about islands that don't exist you think he may be leading on to something?

Zeno's paradox?

There seem to be many supposed islands that don't exist. Thankfully, we know that Loompaland exists.

Ofcourse this is true, where do the Frisians come from? They are different then the dutch in a good way. Stubborn, direct and most are tall, blond hair and blue eyes.

so at what point did people finally realise that the islands didn't exist?

Lies

Why though?

I thought this video was going to be about Friesland !

0:53 you scared me there for a second.

Who’s here because they searched ftisland but mistyped that as frisland?

Never heard of this one!

It WAS real

the FLATARDS all started drooling at 2.14 !!

2:26 are we suggesting that the snake oil salesman that is Banksy is capable of creating a masterpiece? It is however, true that his works increase in value once shredded, as they can be used for fire lighting. :) Love your vids btw.

I don't really get the point of why they did this. If anything, it makes me lose respect for the Zeno name (which I'd not heard of prior). What gain did they achieve through their lie?
