Off the coast of Cornwall, they say a kingdom sank beneath the sea, Lyonesse, where King Arthur fell and bells still toll underwater. This episode dives into the legend’s roots, from Tennyson’s poetry to Plato’s Atlantis, and reveals what archaeology and climate history now tell us about the land that was lost. It is not just myth, it is a warning. If you care about drowned worlds, shifting coastlines, and stories with teeth, this one is for you.
