In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas is joined by Professor Patrick Nunn — geographer at the University of the Sunshine Coast, honorary professorial fellow at the University of Melbourne, and visiting fellow at Oxford — for a conversation that will permanently change how you look at the map of Britain. Patrick's new book, Whispers from Celtic Seas, published this month by Reaktion Books, makes an extraordinary argument: the legends of drowned kingdoms off the coasts of Wales, Cornwall, Scotland, Ireland, and Brittany are not fantasy at all. They are testimony — eyewitness memories of real catastrophes, passed down by word of mouth for as long as eight thousand years, which would make them quite literally the oldest stories we have. Patrick explains how a conventionally trained scientist came to take myths as seriously as data (via Pacific island oral cultures and Aboriginal Australian traditions), walks Jonathan through the twelve-thousand-year-old Colinda harpoon dredged from the North Sea in 1931 that first revealed Doggerland, describes the Storegga submarine landslide that severed Britain from mainland Europe 8,200 years ago, and unpacks the real histories buried inside the stories of Cantre'r Gwaelod, Lyonesse, and the sea-crossing giants of the Celtic fringe. Along the way: two islands drawn on the 1360 Gough Map that no longer exist, an eighteenth-century Cornish parson who got there first, why stone circles may have been climate mitigation strategies, and the Welsh mudflats whose name translates as "the place of weeping."

His challenge to skeptics is to explain the implausibility of the alternative: that pre-literate peoples had the leisure time to invent elaborate fictions and consign them to the river of history. The moment of realization came in two stages. Working in the Pacific Islands, Patrick listened to elders recount stories for hours as if reading from a book — proving oral cultures can retain and transmit enormous quantities of information with total precision. Then, after moving to Australia in 2010, he encountered 34 separate groups of Aboriginal stories from around the entire coastline describing when the sea was further out and the ocean rose to cover the land — events that ended around 7,000 years ago, meaning the stories must be at least that old. The Crater Lake example is Patrick's clinching argument. When European settlers reached Oregon, the Klamath people told them a mountain once stood where the lake is, that two gods fought, and that the mountain collapsed. Mount Mazama erupted and collapsed 7,600 years ago. There is no alternative explanation for how that story survived. The Colinda harpoon — a twelve-thousand-year-old carved deer antler dredged from the floor of the North Sea by a Lowestoft trawler in 1931 — was the first widespread realization that people had once occupied the seabed between Britain and Europe. That landmass is now known as Doggerland, named for the Dogger Bank fishing ground. At the coldest point of the last ice age, around 20,000 years ago, the ocean surface stood roughly 400 feet (125 meters) lower than today. Doggerland was not a "land bridge" — its inhabitants did not think of themselves as living on a bridge. It was simply a vast inhabited landmass supporting fishing, hunting, and free movement of people, animals, and vegetation between what is now mainland Europe and the British Isles. Around 8,200 years ago, a huge section of the Norwegian continental shelf collapsed into the ocean depths — the Storegga Slide — displacing an enormous volume of water and generating tsunamis that struck Shetland, Orkney, Scotland, and the eastern seaboard of the British Isles. Driving south through the North Sea, it smashed passages through the already-shrinking remains of Doggerland. That event, in effect, created the British Isles. The Welsh legend of Cantre'r Gwaelod in Cardigan Bay — sixteen cities lost when King Gwyddno's steward got drunk and forgot to close the sluice gates — has a genuine kernel of truth. People certainly lived in that area 10,000 to 12,000 years ago when sea levels were tens of meters lower, and those places were genuinely submerged. The drunken steward is later decoration added to make the story entertaining; the submergence is the empirical core. The Gough Map of around 1360 — the oldest surviving map of Britain, held at the Bodleian Library in Oxford — shows two islands in Cardigan Bay that do not exist today. Patrick doesn't believe the islands still existed in the 1360s, but the memory of them was sufficiently compelling that the cartographer drew them anyway. Patrick's explanation for giants is one of the book's most striking ideas. When a memory became too implausible for later generations — people walking across what is now thirty miles of open ocean — the story adapted rather than died. The walkers became giants, and the giants grew larger as the ocean gaps widened. Giants weren't invented; they were brought into narrative tradition specifically to keep true memories credible. Patrick's two recommended places to stand and feel this history: Conwy Bay in North Wales, where the mudflats at its head are called the Lavan Sands, whose old name means "the place of weeping"; and the Outer Hebrides, particularly around North Uist, where 19th-century collectors recorded remarkably detailed stories about the Monach Islands — including the names of the last people to cross the land connection and those who drowned attempting it. That connection was submerged 6,800 years ago. Soundbites "I don't think people five hundred years ago or even five thousand years ago had the leisure time to develop elaborate fictions and then consign them to the river of history and pass them down through the ages." — Patrick on why he takes ancient stories seriously. "When we look at stories of mermaids and giants, we're really looking into the minds of people hundreds, even thousands of years ago — the way they conceived the world and the way they encoded their observations of deep time." — Patrick on what folklore actually preserves. "It became clear to me that people in oral cultures are in fact able to retain and organize and pass on huge amounts of information without the benefits of being able to write them down." — Patrick on the Pacific Islands research that changed his thinking. "These stories by default had to be at least seven thousand years old. And that really blew my mind, as I guess it would that of any conventional scientist. But I was always trained: let the data speak." — Patrick on the Aboriginal Australian stories of coastal drowning. "That volcano erupted seven thousand six hundred years ago. There is no alternative explanation for the Klamath story having been passed on since this cataclysmic event." — Patrick on Crater Lake, Oregon. "Why are you skeptical that a story can be passed down for thousands of years? You're skeptical because it doesn't happen today. We've forgotten, if you like, what our ancestors in oral societies did." — Patrick's response to skeptics. "That event, if you like, created the British Isles. It destroyed the land connection between the British Isles and mainland Europe around about eight thousand two hundred years ago." — Patrick on the Storegga Slide. "We laugh about the drunken steward and the duties he failed to perform. But the essence of that story is that there once existed inhabited places on the floor of what is today Cardigan Bay, and these places became submerged. And of course that's absolutely true." — Patrick on Cantre'r Gwaelod. "Those people became giants because that was the way you could rationalize these stories and make them credible to each new generation. And the giants became bigger and bigger through time because the ocean gaps became wider and wider." — Patrick on the origin of giants in Celtic folklore. "The old English name for the Lavan Sands means the place of weeping. There is so much sadness associated with the loss of land in the past, and some of that sentiment is preserved in place names." — Patrick on Conwy Bay, North Wales.

Crater Lake in Oregon is one of America's most beautiful natural wonders, but its history is filled with darker stories. Formed inside the collapsed remains of Mount Mazama, the lake is tied to Klamath sacred tradition, stories of Llao and Skell, vanished aircraft, an unsolved double murder, and the strange floating figure known as the Old Man of the Lake.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spooky-lakes-volume-2/id1379959217?i=1000697558240https://www.usgs.gov/geology-and-ecology-of-national-parks/geology-crater-lake-national-parkhttps://oe.oregonexplorer.info/craterlake/history.htmlhttps://www.nps.gov/crla/learn/nature/crater-lake.htmhttps://www.nps.gov/crla/learn/historyculture/index.htmhttps://www.craterlakeinstitute.com/smith-chronological-history-of-crater-lake/the-history-from-1900-to-1949/smith-history-98/https://www.craterlakeinstitute.com/smith-chronological-history-of-crater-lake/the-history-from-1950-to-1999/smith-history-135/https://www.craterlakeinstitute.com/crater-lake-new-archives/2000-3/2000-05-3/Thanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on tomorrow.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Much of our understanding about the earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and floods that shaped the geology of the Pacific Northwest comes from Western scientists. But those records almost always overlook the oral traditions of Native American tribes who witnessed those events.   An exhibit at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in Portland looks at the eruption of Mount Mazama, the Ice Age floods and other geological events through the perspective of the Nez Perce and other Columbia Basin tribes. “Heads & Hearts: Seeing the Landscape through Nez Perce Eyes” is on display through Feb. 16.   Geologists Roger Amerman and Ellen Bishop created the exhibit, which originally appeared at the Josephy Center for Arts & Culture in Joseph. They join us to talk about how Native oral traditions can — and should — inform modern science.

When you think of crystal clear waters, the pictures that normally come to mind are of the Maldives, some Caribbean or Mediterranean islands with endless beaches. Now these other places can, indeed, boast super clean waters, but there are less expected locations where you can see through the water down to the bottom. Have you ever visited Crater Lake National Park in Oregon? It was formed 7,700 years ago when the volcano, Mount Mazama, collapsed. It's the deepest lake in the United States and it's spotlessly blue. By the way, there's a fun sight inside the lake – the so-called “Old Man of the Lake” that's a vertically floating hemlock, first recorded in 1896.

Crater Lake wasn't always a lake. Knute Berger tells the story of when a blast 50 times the size of Mt St. Helens' blanketed the PNW in ash. Crater Lake National Park in southern Oregon is known for its crown jewel: a brilliantly blue and very deep alpine lake. But some 8,000 years ago, this lake was a mountain.  Then the mountain erupted, blowing its top and layering ash so far afield that it impacted wildlife in Canada. Indigenous people carry oral traditions that share what it was like to witness the blast.  Crosscut's resident historian Knute Berger unearthed this history in a recent episode of the Mossback's Northwest video series, but there is more left to uncover.  In this episode of Mossback, Berger joins co-host Stephen Hegg to more deeply understand the geologic history of the blast and the cultural history of what eventually became known as Mount Mazama. They also discuss the chance of this or any other volcano in the Pacific Northwest blowing again — and what impact that could have on all of us.  For more on all things Mossback, visit crosscut.com/mossback.

Thanks for tuning into Curious Cat's very special season three, Cascadia. As the scorching heat of summer continues, I hope you'll retreat with us into the musky wilderness, dip a toe in a chill alpine lake, and reflect on the perfection of nature. This week we travel south to a place not far from the California/Oregon border. Double knot your hiking boots, top off your hydro flask, then douse yourself in holy water or sage because this one is on the spooky side.My first full panic attack occurred in a hotel room half a globe away from CASCADIA - but it was curiously part of Cascadia's legendary Ring of Fire. We were on the final days of a trip of a lifetime to Japan that included a visit to Disney's two parks - Disneyland and Tokyo Sea - which by the way was hands-down the best theme park I've ever been to before or since. Okay, back to that panic attack. We were staying in a hotel on Tokyo Bay and somewhere around 3am I woke up, heart racing, sweating, gasping in enough air not to faint. Everyone else remained asleep, which was better than them freaking out along with me. Heart pounding, sweating, crying. I basically thought I must be dying. If you've not experienced a panic attack , well I hope you never do. As the worst of it began to subside, I had an urge to press my hands against something ice cold. The best I could find in the slim room was a window. I sobbed, wiping my face with my pajama sleeve. After fifteen minutes or so, the attack had run its course. I shared that in love, but also so you will understand how my body reacts when I am near two places; Mount Shasta and Crater Lake National Park. Now as we dive into the facts, stories, legends, ufo lore, and mysteries of Crater Lake, you'll know what I mean when I say I have a visceral reaction to this location.  Let's get into it!I.

William Guymer was born at Jamestown, North Dakota, in 1925. After graduating from Jamestown High, Bill entered the US Navy in March of 1943 during World War II. After basic training, Guymer became a Gunnery Mate and was assigned to the USS Mazama. The Mazama was a large Navy ammunition ship that served in the Pacific. Navy ammunition ships were named after volcanoes -- mountains that could explode. Ammunition ships could do the same. The Mazama was named after Mount Mazama, a collapsed volcano in the Cascade Range in Oregon.

Mazama Village Campground in Crater Lake National Park puts you close to the natural beauty of Crater Lake National Park. Oregon's only national park is home to the nation's deepest lake. This phenomenon was created when the volcano Mount Mazama collapsed over 7000 years ago. A massive caldera was left behind, creating Crater Lake. The waters of this generous basin are known for their incredible purity and color. The surrounding natural setting is equally as stunning.
