Finistere features in three migration narratives where the landmasses may have moved.

Brittany is a peninsula, historic country and cultural region in the west of modern France,
covering the western part of what was known as Armorica during the period of Roman
occupation. …
Brittany has also been referred to as Less, Lesser or Little Britain (as opposed to Great
Britain, with which it shares an etymology). …
Brittany is the site of some of the world's oldest standing architecture, home to the Barnenez,
the Tumulus Saint-Michel and others, which date to the early 5th millennium BC.

Finistère is a department of France in the extreme west of Brittany. …

The name Finistère derives from the Latin Finis Terræ, meaning end of the earth.
In England, a similar area is called Land's End. ...
Finistère is not to be confused with Finisterre in Galicia, Spain, which shares the same
etymology.

Mainstream Narrative #1

Princes from Cornwall [England] migrated to Cornouaille [France].

Cornouaille is a historical region on the west coast of Brittany in West France.

The name is cognate with Cornwall in neighbouring Great Britain.

Wikipedia - Cornouaille
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornouaille

This can be explained by the settlement of Cornouaille by migrant princes from

Cornwall who created an independent principality founded by Rivelen Mor Marthou, and
the founding of the Bishopric of Cornouaille by ancient saints from Cornwall. Celtic Britons
and the settlers in Brittany spoke a common language, this language would evolve into
Breton, Welsh and Cornish.

Alternate Narrative #1

The Cornwall and Cornouaille landmasses separated and migrated with people passengers.

The separation of England from Europe opened the English Channel drainage channel.

Alternate Narrative #2

The Britania, Armorica, and Gallaecia landmasses separated and migrated with people passengers.

Britonia (which became Bretoña in Galician) is the historical, apparently Latinized name of
a Celtic settlement by Celtic Britons on the Iberian peninsula following the Anglo-Saxon
settlement of Britain. The area is roughly analogous to the northern parts of the modern
provinces of A Coruña and Lugo in the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain.

Mainstream Narrative #3

The American continent is named after Amerigo Vespucci.

Portrait of Amerigo Vespucci - Michele Bisi c. 1788-1874

https://archive.org/details/clevelandart-1949.92-portrait-of-amerigo

Amerigo Vespucci (9 March 1451 – 22 February 1512) was an Italian merchant, explorer,
and navigator from the Republic of Florence, from whose name the term "America" is
derived. He became a Castillian citizen in 1505.
…
The evidence for Vespucci's voyages of exploration consists almost entirely of a handful
of letters written by him or attributed to him. Historians have differed sharply on the
authorship, accuracy and veracity of these documents.
…
Alleged voyage of 1497–1498
A letter, addressed to Florentine official Piero Soderini, dated 1504 and published the
following year, purports to be an account by Vespucci of a voyage to the New World,
departing from Spain on the 10th of May, 1497, and returning on the 15th of October, 1498.
This is perhaps the most controversial of Vespucci's voyages, as this letter is the only
known record of its occurrence, and many historians doubt that it took place as described.
Some question the authorship and accuracy of the letter and consider it to be a forgery.
Others point to the inconsistencies in the narrative of the voyage, particularly the alleged
course, starting near Honduras and proceeding northwest for 870 leagues (about 5,130 km or
3,190 mi)—a course that would have taken them across Mexico to the Pacific Ocean.

The account of the alleged voyage of Amerigo Vespucci in 1497-98 was written for that
worthy's own countrymen, and for foreigners who lived at a distance from the Peninsula.
When, after some years, the story reached Spain in print, men were still alive who would
have known whether any such voyage had ever been made. Among them was the able and
impartial historian Las Casas, who considered that the story was false, and disproved it
from internal evidence. The authority of Las Casas is alone conclusive. Modern
investigators, such as Robertson, Munoz, Navarrete, Humboldt, Washington Irving, and
D'Avezac examined the question, and they all came to the same conclusion as Las Casas.

Alternate Narrative #3

America is named after the Armorica landmass it separated from when the Atlantic basin opened.

Armorica or Aremorica is the name given in ancient times to the part of Gaul between the
Seine and the Loire that includes the Brittany Peninsula, extending inland to an
indeterminate point and down the Atlantic Coast.

Wikipedia - Armorica
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armorica

The Armorican Massif is a geologic massif that covers a large area in the northwest of
France, including Brittany, the western part of Normandy and the Pays de la Loire. It is
important because it is connected to Dover on the British side of the English Channel and
there has been tilting back and forth that has controlled the geography on both sides.

The Finistere Catastrophes Chronology is associated with the rediscovered village of Iliz Koz.

Plouguerneau … in the Finistère department of Brittany in north-western France.

Wikipedia - Plouguerneau
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plouguerneau

Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

The village of Tréménach had about a hundred inhabitants who lived from fishing and
collecting seaweed.

It included a church, a cemetery, a presbytery, a chapel and dwellings. Around 1550, a

marine regression linked to the Little Ice Age led to the formation of large dunes that
moved inland, causing the gradual silting up of the village, which was only 300 meters
from the shore.

Around 1700, the critical threshold was reached and in 1719 the parish priest, Michel Le
Nobletz, warned the parishioners that they should abandon the village.

But some parishioners persisted, continuing to regularly sand their houses, and the last
parishioners left only in 1729.

The forgotten village was rediscovered in the 1970s during the construction of the
foundations of a house.

The site, rediscovered by chance in 1969, now known as Iliz Koz ("Old Church" in Breton)
has been exhumed from the sand in recent years and can now be visited: in particular, one
can see more than 100 funerary slabs, some of which are engraved or sculpted with swords,
rosettes, a caravel, and chalices, in the medieval necropolis, as well as the ruins of the
church, the presbytery, and a cobbled street.

Unsurprisingly, the 709 entry upsets the modern mainstream.

709 The continental shelf tilted and the sea invaded the forest of Scissy near Saint-Malo.
The tip of Finistère is flayed.
The peninsula of Four and Chateau became an island.
Several thousand people disappeared in the waters.

Nowadays, tilting is forgotten, tidal waves are “disputed” and submerged forests are “mythical”.

The tidal wave of March 709 would have invaded the forest of Scissy isolating the islands
of Chausey, Tombelaine, Mont-Saint-Michel, Mont-Dol and the islands opposite Saint-Malo
(the very existence of such a tidal wave is disputed, there may have been a gradual rise in
sea level) 7.

Myth of the tidal wave of March 709

The myth of the tidal wave of March 709 is a pseudo-scientific construction of the abbot
François Manet according to which a cataclysm would have occurred in the bay of Mont-
Saint-Michel and in the bay of Saint-Malo in March 709. This cataclysm, an unlikely
combination of a storm, high tides and an earthquake, would have caused the permanent
flooding of the bay of Mont Saint-Michel, which would have been previously occupied by
several villages and forests.

Later works have completely invalidated this scenario.

However, over the years, the mainstream has reported [amongst other things] that 709 AD was
shaky with the sea washing away a sandbank, drowning people and forests, plus breaking the
[roughly] 22 kilometre long land bridge between the island of Jersey and the French mainland.

The Channel Islands constitute an archipelago, geographically French … The rocks

resemble in many respects those of the Lizard peninsula in Cornwall.

Geology of the British Isles - Percy George Hamnall Boswell and John Parkinson - 1918

In the earliest ages the Islands are supposed to have been detached piecemeal from the
Continent by a series of convulsions of nature, either volcanic or in the form of vast tidal
waves, which swept over and overwhelmed the low-lying portions of the Channel.

The date of the original catastrophe was at one time supposed to be the year a.d. 709, but
later evidence leads us to suppose that it took place in prehistoric times, probably even
before the building of the cromlechs.

In the History of Guernsey, by the late Mr. F. B. Tupper (first edition), it is stated that an
earthquake of serious magnitude, producing great destruction, took place in the month of
March, 709, and another, or rather a series of movements, between the 22nd and 29th
October, 842. On the latter occasion there was throughout the north of Gaul an
accompanying subterranean noise, lasting seven days, recurring several times a day.

Storms help to uncover more of Vazon Bay’s ancient forest

Castel is the largest parish in Guernsey in terms of area.

The Parish has clear evidence of changes in ancient sea-levels, with trunks of an oak forest
visible on Vazon beach at very low tide and at 8m above sea level an ancient beach.

Wikipedia - Castel, Guernsey

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castel,_Guernsey

There is every reason to believe that the submersion of the Vazon took place long before
the Conquest, probably at the time of the great cataclysm which inundated the large tract of
land in the Bay of Avranches in 709.

If early local records had existed they would hardly have failed to have given minute details
of the convulsion of nature which resulted in the destruction by the sea of the forest lands
on the northern and western sides of the island, and in the separation of tracts of
considerable magnitude from the mainland.

Geologists are agreed in assigning to this event the date of March, 709, when great
inundations occurred in the Bay of Avranches on the French coast ; they are not equally
unanimous as to the cause, but science now rejects the theory of a raising of the sea-level
and that of a general subsidence of the island.

The most reasonable explanation appears to be that the overpowering force of a tidal wave
suddenly swept away barriers whose resistance had been for ages surely though
imperceptibly diminishing, and that the districts thus left unprotected proved to be below the
sea-level — owing, as regards the forests, to gradual subsidence easily explicable in the case
of undrained, swampy soil ; and, as regards the rocks, to the fact that the newly exposed
surface consisted of accumulations of already disintegrated deposits.

Tombelaine is a small tidal island off the coast of Normandy in France. It lies a few

(with a guide) from the coast of Cotentin, 3.5 kilometres (2.2 miles) to the northeast, and
from Mont Saint-Michel.

An interesting aspect of the disputed “tidal wave” of 709 is that the modern mainstream has
probably been looking for evidence of an inbound tidal wave originating in the Atlantic Ocean.

On the other hand: The flaying of Finistère, the tilting of the continental shelf, the drowned forests
and the [most likely] submerged Jersey land-bridge are far more suggestive of an outbound tidal
wave originating in the North European Endorheic Basin.
