2. Naphtali, Dan, and the Messiah

A passage in the Hatam Sofer's commentary ["Torah Mosheh," Bamidbar, "Nasa" Haftorah on Samson] indicates there may be  link between the Tribes of Naphtali, Dan, and the future Messiah.

More than five hundred Neolithic and Bronze Age sites above the present high water line have been excavated in the Isles of Scilly. With another thirty or so only accessible at the lowest tides, excavations of these have only been possible for short periods at low water. Normally submerged sites that have been excavated include: ten hut circles, seven cists and graves, four field wall enclosures and twelve other occupational sites and partial exposures in eroding cliffs. How many more are permanently submerged and waiting for underwater archaeologists? There are many field walls and hut circles to be seen at the lowest tide when it is still possible to walk from Samson to Bryher and from Bryher to Tresco.

Island of the Dead
http://www.ancientpenwith.org/scilly.html

In the late 2000s BCE in the bronze age Scilly comprised one big and one small island (St Agnes). In some respects it was a more viable place to live than today because it was bigger and the climate was better (warmer and less wet, windy and stormy).

The Isle of Scilly constituted a separate world, a somewhat mystic world traditionally reputed to be the Isle of the Dead - and certainly the sheer number of burial-oriented cairns and cairnfields on the islands of today testifies to that.

The 'isle of the dead' could however be interpreted as an 'isle beyond time' or beyond earthly normality - though in ancient times it was also reckoned that the souls of the dead went off westward toward the setting sun. The tradition of a sunken landmass, Lyonesse, perhaps the Scilly island or a landmass between Scilly and the mainland, adds to this mystique.

Land and Sea Levels

It is commonly held that the Scillies were first permanently occupied around 2250 BCE at the beginning of the bronze age. At that time most of today's islands except St Agnes, Gugh and the western islets formed one island - the land has sunk and the sea has risen by 5-6 metres since then, and the waters between the islands are still shallow. Some ancient sites, especially settlements and field systems, now lie underwater between today's islands, though since the ancients had a habit of locating their sacred sites on higher ground, most of these are still on land today.

The sinking of the land is partially accounted for by a general moderate rise of sea levels since the bronze age (two metres or so), but it was also caused by a post-glacial sinking of the land. The Scillies and Cornwall were not covered with ice so, during the ice age, they rose up somewhat to compensate for the glacial weighing-down of landmasses further north. When the ice age ended, lands further north, especially in Scotland, rose and Scilly and Cornwall sank relatively. Hence the rather dramatic change of sea levels in Scilly, which continues to some extent today. The sea rose and the land sank, at the same time.

The legend of Lyonesse, reputedly located between Scilly and Penwith, and reputed to have sunk quite suddenly and catastrophically, is a strong, richly suggestive tradition but it is difficult to justify geologically or archaeologically. Either it is a romanticisation and extrapolation of the fact that the Scillies and some parts between Scilly and Penwith sank between the bronze age and now - and there is a possibility that a tsunami emanating from the Azores or from the continental cliff west of Ireland helped this process - or there is something about the geology of this area that we do not know. (More on Lyonesse here.)

The Seven Stones Reef, northeast of Scilly and west of Penwith (site of the infamous 1967 Torrey Canyon disaster), is roughly two miles by one, and would in the past have been more exposed than now, but this is hardly sufficient a size for the several towns and 140 churches Lyonesse was said to have had. It is difficult therefore to form a sound conclusion on this matter. The Lyonesse tradition thus remains steadfastly in the realm of myth  - perhaps excessively dismissed by many archaeologists and believed in by believers, to the detriment of a resolution.

But a mythic land to the west is a not uncommon theme on the Atlantic coast. Whether Lyonesse was an actuality or a metaphor, it certainly is true that, when seen from the mainland, the Scillies sometimes look from Penwith as if they are hovering slightly above the water - often around low tide on a hot summer's day. Looking at the Scillies from a Penwith clifftop, it holds a mystique - even from Penwith's own mystique-rich viewpoint.
