The Biggest Names ever Lost to History

Video Description

Anything, absolutely anything, can be forgotten. I received a comment once, joking about how Wales has likely lost a few mountains along the way, and well, they were right. Names are impermanent, no matter the physical size, or fame, of the object being named. Welsh history knows this all too well, and even mountains are not immune to being lost, and in many cases shown here, they have had their names lost perhaps permanently.
