On medieval maps drawn from ancient source maps (the Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings see Hapgood) is the island of Hy Brasil, named for the Breasail clan (progeny of Breas) of Ireland, about two hundred miles to the southwest in the Atlantic, though submerged when the Ice Age ended circa 1500 b. c. (now the Porcupine Bank), and about three thousand years after that, when the Portuguese navigator Pedro Alvarez Cabral landed on the southeast coast of South America, he called it Brazil thinking that he had found Hy Brasil which hadn’t been seen since the timeframe of king Breas.
