The Mythical Island of Hy-Brasil

Magini map c.1597
Hy-Brasil, also spelled Hy-Breasal, Hy-Brazil, Hy-Breasil, Brazir and related variations, is a phantom island which features in many Irish myths. It was said to be cloaked in mist, except for one day each seven years, when it became visible but could still not be reached. It probably has similar roots to St Brendan’s Island. Another basis may be Helluland (probably Labrador), discovered by the Vikings. The names Brazil and Hy-Brazil are thought to come from the Irish Uí Breasail (meaning “descendants (i.e., clan) of Breasal”), one of the ancient clans of North-Eastern Ireland.
Off Ireland- Canepa, Map 1489
reports that land found by Cabot had been “discovered in the past by the men from Bristol who found Hy Brasil. Some historians claim that the navigator Pedro Álvares Cabral thought that he had reached this island in 1500, thus naming the country of Brazil. However, Cabral didn’t choose the name ‘Brazil’. The country was at first named Ilha de Vera Cruz (Island of the True Cross), later Terra de Santa Cruz (Land of the Holy Cross) and still later ‘Brazil’. The generally accepted theory states that it was renamed for the brazilwood, which has an extreme red color (so “brasil” derivated from “brasa”: ember), a plant very valuable in Portuguese commerce and abundant in the new-found land.
Others claimed to have seen the island, or even landed on it, the last supposed sighting being in 1872. Roderick O’Flaherty in A Chorographical Description of West or H-Iar Connaught (1684) tells us “There is now living, Morogh O’Ley, who immagins he was himself personally on O’Brasil for two days, and saw out of it the iles of Aran, Golamhead, Irrosbeghill, and other places of the west continent he was acquainted with.”
On maps, the island was shown as being circular, soon with a central strait or river running east-west across its diameter. Despite the failure of attempts to find it, it appeared regularly on maps lying south west of Galway Bay from 1325 until 1865, by which time it was called Brazil Rock.
Wagenhaer, Map 1583
They, too, found the hospitable island of Hy-Brasil and returned to Ireland to confirm the tales of Captain Nisbet and crew.
The last documented sighting of Hy-Brasil was in 1872, when author T. J. Westropp and several companions saw the island appear and then vanish. This was Mr. Westropp’s third view of Hy-Brasil, but on this voyage he had brought his mother and some friends to verify the Island’s existence.
On my celtic folklore travels through the internet and books, I have come across several mythicial Lands. The fairy islands off the coast of Pembrokeshire Wales, Lyonesse south west of Cornwall and now Hy Brazil West of Galway Bay in Ireland. These lost Islands live in the earliest versions of the Celtic tales and I do wonder, did these islands once exist and have now been lost to earthquakes and other geological events? Or are they a fantasy utopia created to give hope to those living in constantly chaotic societies? or maybe even the vestiges of the Islands Falias, Gorias, Murias and Findias, the homes of the Tuatha De Danaan.? I guess we will never really know the truth but it does give food for thought!!








If there is this place I do like to find it. I think God has plain for it myth, fairy or whatever people want to call, and i believe is the reason why we still living in this world wandering a new Land and finaly live in peace
We love the
County too ! Sacred land oyEruj

What a wonderful sentiment!
why doesn’t someone look for hy-brasil? i just saw something that really makes me wonder if its real… i’m just a diesil tech or i would be trying to get funding, from somewhere, to see what is really out there. I don’t think we put enough time into finding out whats on the bottom of the ocean, i understand that the bottom of the ocean is a large and wide open space, and that meens that there is no telling what people might find… i think thats where the secrets of humanity, and how we came to be, are locked in the depths of the ocean…
Hi Ian,
Yes – wonderful! What a great idea! There is much on this subject I’d like to see explored, but as usual the sticking point seems to be money..
I think the first thing we might see that helps is the development of Google’s undersea mapping program for Google Earth. They are investing successfully at the moment.
Great comment, thank you

I saw the series “Ancient Aliens” on history channel. It was very interesting and I wound up watching it 3 times in a row. I am a christian but can’t help but to be pulled by the FACTS of history. The proof on the walls of ancient man. The carved statues. Ancient texts. You can’t deny they saw and knew something beyond what we can comprehend and we’re supposed to be more advanced. They should cut our space exploring and explore the ocean. The flood covered so much of the world. And at the bottom of the ocean there is bound to be some structured buildings left. Rock doesn’t just rot… Anyway. I was looking on google to see if you can see anything and I wasn’t sure exactly where to look. But it seems you can see distinct mountains and gullies under sea. So surely you would be able to see a raised mound of earth for this island.
All I can really say is that there are some absolutely fascinating facts that make us ask some really interesting questions! I have to agree with you about what lies on the ocean floor – it is just a matter of time before something is discovered – it has to be!
Thank you for your comment Alisha,

Hypothesis 1:
The poles have been warming for centuries increasing the levels of the oceans. This could well account for the disappearance of Hy-Brasil and Atlantis.
Hypothesis 2:
Warming and cooling cycles that we know of over the centuries, could have an effect on ocean levels.
Hypothesis 3:
Consider the possible effects of polar shifts on the above.
Hi Mike,
Yes, good theorising. Perhaps we might also add in continental drift, the movement of the tectonic plates. As the fault line in the Atlantic swallows the sea bed – the land positions could change?
All the best,
Gary
Are there any myths or legends about what life was like there, or any particular talents they had ?
Hi Julia,
Ruthie is the expert on this one and I’ll pass the question over to her and see if I can get her to put something together for you
All the best,
Gary x x x
Hi Julia, There are some very strange descriptions of Hi -Brazil . Some are very Atlantian and others are just odd!
Captain John Nisbet, who set sail from France in September 1674 intending to return home to Ireland, but who claimed that enroute he accidentally found the fabled island of Hi-Brazil.
“They disembarked on the island and discovered that it was inhabited by large black rabbits and a magician who lived alone in a castle. The magician informed them that the spell that had kept the island hidden from the eyes of mortals had been broken.”
The island has been visited by many people for centuries. Both Saint Barrind and Saint Brendan found the island on their respective voyages, and returned home with nearly identical descriptions of Hy-Brasil, which they dubbed the “Promised Land.”
According to legends of long ago, Hy-Brasil was a secret land once ruled by priests. These priests held the secrets to the universe and had access to ancient, but powerful knowledge. In folklore, this island country takes its name from Breasal, the High King of the World, in Celtic history.
The island is said to be cloaked in mist, except for one day each seven years, when it became visible but could still not easily be reached.
I hope this helps

It is real …..ive been there, very important place!
Time to wake up and pay attention to what is going on.
Hi Josh,
Thanks for that comment
All the best,
Gary x x x
Hey Gary and Ruth,
thanks again!
I was watching a TV show about 30mins ago which some one mentioned in an earlier post the show is Ancient Aliens. They talk about Hy Brazil and it being the place we should look for for human advancement. They say the Celtic myths about the island are of people who were of high moral standards and just playing very good people. And everyone else in Europe were barbaric (aka us humans) and they used high advanced technologies like sound and vibrations for healing and other things. Do you have any insight into these claims? Im asking because I found it interesting and as a big believer in Aliens my self I would like to further my knowledge in this subject. I was doing research on Hy Brazil and stumbled upon this website.
Thanks for taking the time to read this you two seem like very good people
Bob
Hi Bob,
There are many interesting theories around Hy-Braesil, aren’t there? We do find the Ancient Aliens studies interesting as well as there are many ‘mysteries’ that programs such as this highlight. I often wonder whether islands like Hy-Braesil are one of the ancient island homes of the Tuatha De Danaan and whether the Gods of the Celts and their ‘magic’ items, were again aliens! Nuada with his silver arm sounds like a high-tech cybernetic device, doesn’t it? Ancient Aliens are often considered early Gods – the Mexicans are prime examples, aren’t they?
Some fascinating theories – I’d love to know the truth!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Bob, and good luck with your research! Keep us in touch if you find out anything else related to the Celts, please?
All the best and many blessings,

Hi Bob ,Gary, Josh , Ruthie , Julia . I was also watching a programe tonight on Ancient Aliens . what real’y did it for me was when the American soldier after touching the space ship or whatever it was , saw an image . This image was a series of numbers .He kept it to himself and told no one fearing he would loose his job . But for years what he saw (the numbers) wouldn’t his mind . only quite recently he had these numbers analysed, i forget the exact sentance that came out of these numbers BUT they were able to the exact location of HY BRAESIL . Wow! I WAS JUST THINKING WHY DONT WE ALL GET IN CONTACT TIME TEAM
Let me know what you all think . I watch time team a lot and they have done this sort of thing before , regards Mary
Hi Mary
I want to see this programme!!! Roughly whereabouts was the location of Hy-braesil given – do you remember?
As Mary says, what are your conclusions from the programme and should it be followed-up?
Many blessings,
Gary x x x
hi gary and everyone i also watched this programme it was a series of numbers in binard code tha transated to 52° 09′ 42.532″ N 13° 13′ 12.69″ W CONTI[NUOUS] FOR PLANETARY ADVAN[ CE]. i find this type of stuf amazing also the other phamtom islands such as st brendans island” isle of mam (mayda)” thompson island” and bermeja thay are all intresting have a look many thanks

Hey Folks,
Think it’s worth a look into this, if not just to send the two soldiers from american army who brought the binary code. More than likely the island will only appear to those in contact already.
Check out youtube ancient aliens series 2 ep 10 to get their names.

hia every 1 i see it to on tv blow my mine ive been intrested in the subject for some time now let get to in touch and find hy brazil ive seen so much happenin it the skys latly i am sure end of days is comin
Hi Tony
There certainly does seem to be a change in the air, let’s hope it’s not the end of days!
Many blessings,
Gary x x x
hey, i saw the program about the ancient aleins as well and the hy brasil part but why cant we just use a helicopter or something to see if the island is actually there and if not visable from the sky the bottom of the ocean and if all else fails, sonar equipment or something that can prove that the island was real.
Hi Steven,
I think they have tried various helicopter sweeps but the area of ocean is huge. More to the point I think the island may well have sunk beneath the waves making it even harder to find.
Don’t know, there are many ideas on this one
All the best,

Hi Gary.
I recently heard of an anchient book called ” THE BOOK OF THE O’LEES [‘BOOK OF HY-BRASIL’]: MEDICAL TREATISE “.
Eugene O’Curry, MRIA, recorded that the manuscript was bought for the Academy in the town of Galway from Thomas Keady, to whom it had come from the O’Lee family, hereditary physicians to the O’Flahertys. In the course of the 17th century a member of the O’Lee family told a ‘wild story’ of his having been magically transported to the enchanted Island of Hy Brasil and obtaining supernatural knowledge of medical cures there that were recorded in this book. The unusual appearance of the book convinced some people of the validity of this story.
This facinating book is now one of the treasures of the Royal Irish Academy Library Dublin, and is currently on public display there.
I went to see the book and it is real. It is written in Irish and Latin. There are a couple of theories about the book being a translation of an earlier Arabic, and Jewish work, but when I put this question to the library, they denounced it and said the origin of the book is still to this day a mystery.
I am researching Hy-Brasil for a project and would love access to other information about the legend that you might have. I live in Ireland and am astonished that this legend has been lost in our heritage until very recently.

Hi Mick,
How absolutely wonderful!
We had not heard of this work before either and all the best information we could find, Ruthie published on the site in our article about Hy-Brasil at http://celticmythpodshow.com/blog/the-mythical-island-of-hy-brasil/. The fact that there are records of the last sighting supposedly being in 1872, again by another O’Flaherty, is amazing. The earliest Irish records say that the Tuatha De Danaan came from Islands to the West and the North – why should we not think that there is a core of truth in the ancient myths? Lastly, I remember seeing a year or so ago a wonderful piece of news published on the BBC website about an oceanographical survey that was being undertaken to the West of Ireland’s shores and they had found a section of the sea-bed raised, like a plateau and the surface of this raised section had the appearance of a large island, complete with moutains, river-beds and so on! I bookmarked the page thinking that would make a wonderful back-up to the Hy-Brasil/Tuatha De story and then became very ill so it didn’t get done. Somewhere amongst my thousands of bookmarks, the link to that page still exists and I will re-publish it for everyone when I find it.
In the mean-time, if we find out any more info we’ll let you know, and keep us in touch with your own researches, please?
Brilliant stuff!
All the best,
Gary x x x
Hi Gary,
I’m from Galway, the west of Ireland, and only in the past couple of months have I heard of this Mythical Island even though I’ve lived here all my life (36years).
We never learned anything like this in school, but I have spoken to a friend who lives on the Aran Islands just of the coast of Galway and they were told many a story while they grew up some of which ye have stated above.
I have worked out that if 1872 was the last time the Island was sited, and it can only be seen once every seven years, then 2012 is the year, now we just need to figure out what day it could be spotted……
But I cant help think that with the earths axis shifting every couple of years would this be causing a raised area of seabed that people think is Hy-Brasil! As Porcupine bank which has been spotted about 200 kilometers of the west coast lies around the same location as HY-Brasil.
I agree with above comments that its time we explore our seas more…..fisher men have always some interesting stories…..
All the best,
Loraine
Hi Loraine, Thank you for your comment. It’s good to hear from you. I really is surprising that in general stories are not told about Hy-Brazil in Ireland. It’s such a great story and mystery. I think Porcupine bank has been discounted because it doesn’t have trees or grass etc, but it’s certainly one theory worth considering. Many of the ancient Irish tales talk about magical islands off the west coast too. For a story to continue this long I tend to think there is probably some basis to it, but what it is we may never know…maybe an island that has sunk due to volcanic activity. However keep your eye out for it around May 1st, 21 June and possibly Oct 31st as that is when it seems it is seen most. Also ask your friend to keep an eye out as it could be seen from the Aran Isles. There is also an American series on the TV called Ancient Aliens which spoke about the possibly of Hy Brazil as a place of peace and learning. I guess like Atlantis may have been. But if you catch a glimpse or hear a more recent story about it..please do let us know..
Warmest regards

The TV show displayed the map coordinates of 52N and 13 W. These coordinates indicate an empty field in modern Germany near the small town of Wiesenhagen, a rather long way from the announced Hy Brasil.
Turn the coordinates backwards, the location is in the waters off Yemen.
Why this show would make this obvious and stupid mistake is mystifing in itself.
Hi David,
Little unsure what you mean here.
We haven’t seen the TV programme you guys are talking about, but if you enter “52 09’42.532″ N 13 13’12.69″ W” into Google Maps (https://maps.google.co.uk/), the location is in the Sea off the West Coast of Ireland.
The programme sounds fascinating though, and I, for one, would like to see it!
Many blessings,

I was also intriged by the tv-program.
I also checked the web and came accros this website.
I heard there was gold and silver given to some visitors, does any-one know what form they were in?
(like coins, goblets, ore etc.)
Is any evidence still available around of any of those items?
Also i know many kinds of periods are called a year (some cultures counted a season is a year, in rome a period of ten months each 30 days was a year after Julius Ceasar (july) and August (Augustus) there were suddenly 12 months etc.)
So appearance every 7 years can be guessing any day in a given period of the longest count of 7 years.
I am from the Netherlands and do have a sailing yacht, I intend to go to the coordinates in summer 2013 to see if i can film what is there when i get there.
I wil send the footage to your site once i have it.
greetings from Michael
just to get some additional info
I don’t think i have ever seen anything that mentions the type of gold and silver given to visitors. The only thing that is supposed to have come from Hy-Brasil is a Book called the Book of Hy Brasil. The Book is a medical treatise and resides in the Royal Irish Academy Thank you for contacting us…we hope your trip goes well and look forward to hearing from you in the future
Hi Michael,
I’m also intersted in trying to locate the island to see if we can bring back anything that could help us advance all societies in a positive way- because lets be honest we need some help right now around the world
If it helps I’m a mechanical/electrical marine engineer working offshore at present and would be willing to help out on your planned trip in summer 2013
John
SRRY for being late to these but I know that HY BRASIL will apear in 2013..
I dont know what day or month..BUT I WILL ALSO LIKE TO EXPLORE IF SOME ONE GOES.
I going to EUROPE this summer 2013..Im making more research about this…
If any question contact me or if you are going exploring.. aerio11@hotmail.com
ME again…Im from the West coast..CALIFORNIA…
My Family has many aquatic equipment…. oxygen tanks,Jet skis,under water lamps.etc..
Im part of the U.S Coast guard… If some one is going u know contact me..
ALOHA – from west California
Hi Hector,
Wow! This sounds exciting – I do hope you manage to follow your dream! Do let us know how you get on!
Many blessings and good luck,

I can’t help but think of other ancient sects and societies who isolated themselves in areas that were not easy to reach. There is also a theme of being healers and alchemists. The more I study history, the more I believe that myth and legends have a substantial percentage of truth in them. Enchanted could mean many things…and, there is the thought that it might be visible to only those who have the eyes to see.
It really seems as though we had much more knowledge in ancient times and have gone through a period of forgetting it.
I live on central coast in California and have seen many things in and over the ocean that defy explanation.
Keep the faith.
P.S. RE: the Rendleshem Forest UFO incident…in addition to the message delivered in bianary code, the military officer also saw symbols on the outside of the craft. They might be helpful in identifying connection to Hy Brasil…what writing did they use?
Hi Sheila,
I’m totally with you! The stories told by our ancestors were told for many reasons, but within an oral culture one of the most important is that they were one of the most important ways to keep records. To me, this is an obvious way of saying that if we research the tales and stories of our ancestors, we are looking at important keys to real history! Yes, I wonder at times if the forgetting was deliberate by some cultures…
Oh, I haven’t seen the UFO stuff you mention – but it does sound exciting!
Many blessings,
Gary (& Ruthie) xxx
Gary,
You piqued my interest by the mention of the Tuatha De Danaan. I seemed to have heard that name but couldn’t place it. I’ve tried to find credible info on them but it appears to be elusive.
One thing I did note (ref your response to Bob on 19th of June )
“I often wonder whether islands like Hy-Braesil are one of the ancient island homes of the Tuatha De Danaan and whether the Gods of the Celts and their ‘magic’ items, were again aliens! ”
Interesting info…Tuath is Old Irish for people, tribe or nation-Tuatha is plural…De means god or goddess and they are associated with the Goddess Danu. (Danu is a goddess also mentioned in Hindu mythology)
But to come to my refrence…Danu is a female deviation of Anu, who was the high God of Sumerians in Mesopotamia. He was from the Anunnaki race of aliens.
You may have made a very intuitive connection, sir.
There are others similarities that I’ve come across so far, but it is entirely possible that they are a sect of this ancient race.
I would like to study more about the Tuatha De, can you recommend any journals?
Thank you,
Sheila
Hi Sheila,
The most accessible reference is, of course, our first shows – those that re-tell the Irish Mythological Cycle which deals specifically with the TDD. Each show lists the references for the sources used, but mostly the best and immediate online resource is on the wonderful Mary Jones site (http://www.maryjones.us/ctexts/index_irish.html). If it helps, I’m trying to put together a piece on the possible origins of the early Tribes.
Many blessings,
Gary xxx
Hello Gary;
Apparently, I missed the total goodness of this website! I was so excited about the blog that I neglected to see the shows…I really must slow life down.
I will watch shows and also check out the other site. This is right in conjunction with what I’m interested in. My brother, the family historian, has advised me that we have quite an extensive Celtic background, including over 1200 Welsh entries.
The piece on origins of early tribes is very appealing, also.
Thanks for your patience and direction. Much appreciated.
Take care,
Sheila
P.S. Found your page on FB…I’m a writer and you might enjoy my page, Lifesigns, Sheila Garcia author.
Hi Sheila,
That is so kind of you – thank you
It would be fascinating to know about your family background – I wonder where your brother’s research has taken him?
Make sure I know who you are on FB and I’ll definitely say hello and look at your page
Many blessings,

Another interesting thing about the legend of Hy-Brasil is in 1980 a few European military men saw a triangular craft hovering in a wooded area. One man claimed to have touched the craft, he said it was warm, and as he touched it he could see some 1′s and 0′s.
what he was seeing was a binary code, so he eventually turned it in to a computer programmer who decoded the message.
Exploration of humanity continuous
for planetary advancement
52.0942352N
13.131269W were also coordinates decoded in the binary.
oddly enough, those are the coordinates to Hy-Brasil. a mysterious island only reached by some, with a mist or green fog keeping it from eyes view most of the time.
Hi Grant,
Wow! I had not heard this particular story before! How amazing! I’d love to read more about this, do you know where you heard it from?
Many blessings,
Gary (& Ruthie) xxx
Very interesting… How about this scenario? Plato described the disappearance of Atlantis as a catastrophic event long before before his time… remember a circular island with central waterways and an advanced civilization destroyed that existed beyond the pillars of Hercules… We know that the floor of the Atlantic is moving Westward thus pushing the Hy Brasel site into the abyss. If our more recent (12th to 18th centries) seaman encountered the island occasionally due to tides, sea level changes, etc.. and now it no longer surfaces because of its slide into the depths – perhaps the Irish myths of several hundred years ago really did reflect encounters with the Atlantean remnants. Is it possible that that this site is Plato’s Atlantis renamed in “modern” times by Irish and other more recent seagoers as Hy Brazel? It would be really interesting to see someone like the Ballard undersea explorers do some extensive submersible studies of the UFO coordinates along a track that parallels the movement of the Atlantic tectonic plate. Finally, regarding potential catastrophic events in the Eastern Atlantic, we have had Discovery channel programs describing the potential of huge tsunami possibilities on some of the islands in the East Atlantic – let’s speculate that one occurred in say 2-4000BC and the legend of destruction was handd down until Plato captured the legend in his time… for all of us to imagine the possibilities. I guess this could be an alternative to the Moan hypothesis… right?
Hi Steve,
I think there’s a lot to be said for that theory! We also hear from the ancient myths that the Gods of the Irish, the Tuatha De Danaan, came from Islands in the West and settled in Ireland. So why did they do this? If their ancient homes were slowly disappearing under the sea that would be a very good motive to travel to other lands and make them your new home. Looking back at the distant past which houses these so-called ‘mythical’ islands and Atlantis, it doesn’t seem too much of a stretch of an imagination to me to suggest that these Greatly Skilled Magicians and Craftsmen may have Atlantis as one of their ancestral island homes.
Fascinating thoughts
Many blessings,

If the Island vanished after several visits in quicker successions I cannot come to any other conclusion that it was an artificial ‘Island’ that did not want to get too well documented. The idea of fog hiding it and its immediate disappearance could only suggest this. A geological explanation is as bizarre to me as UFO’s are to the majority of us in denial. This was and is now an underwater UFO base operating well beneath our abilities to locate it. Now evolution is going way out on a limb to explain what our ancestors already told us in almost every ‘religious’ book ever written. What will it take for people to start using their common sense.
Hi Marty,
You have just as valid a case as any other, I think. Whether the disappearing island and its’ mists or fogs is the result of technology or magic reminds me of the famous Arthur C. Clarke quote that goes something like: Any advanced technology, is perceived as magic by any civilization not sufficiently advanced to have that technology. I have probably mangled the quite < *blushes*> but you now what I mean. Many of the myths of our ancestors are capable of being interpreted in a technological fashion. I remember the work of Erich Von Daniken back in the 70′s as he broke new ground with “Chariots of the Gods! explaining just that. Joseph Blumrich, a NASA engineer, wrote about ho0w the biblical description of a possible spacecraft in the Book of Ezekiel in the Bible, could actually be a physical reality in his own book, “The Spaceships of Ezekiel”. Fascinating stuff that I remember from my own reading – by now, the literature must be vast!
I would love to know the truth about Hy-Braesil and about many of the other mysteries that we’ve seen explored since the 70′s expansion of interest in the subject!
Many blessings,
Gary xx
Gary I’m not real sure if you will get this message or someone else because I’m not Internet savvy but you understand my dilemma. I am putting a puzzle together with facts taken, read, deduced and letting the statistical realities of certain events count very heavily on my uncovering what most likely is happening. That being said whatever is going on I’m positive we are not the masters of our destiny as we see it. We are obviously being evolved . Here is the big difference. If we as persons don’t waken up to our real selves and remain asleep in our bodies thinking uncovering these truths are going to wake us up there not. The biggest alien adventure I had was seeing my personality in my essence state which was and still is the biggest shock to my world because then you truly are an alien irellevent of facts because you then see everything for what it is and knowing there was a reason for this is why I don’t waste time with obvious answers. Thanks
Hy Brasil probably did exist, but only vanished because it was a low lying island or floating island. Too bad no one has ever bothered to explore the area today. Who knows what can be found under the sea!
Hi Catherine,
Yes, I often wonder whether it’s to do with the convergence of the tectonic plates that is making the Atlantic Trench. As the plates go back down into the Earth’s molten core, the land masses will sink and slowly move into the trench. I guess that in millennia to come, we’ll see the whole of the UK sinking below the waves!
Many blessings

Hi Marty,
The universe is full of wonders and we are all being continually surprised at the advances that we are all making as a race. It sounds like you had a world-changing experience!
