I usually consider this an archeological channel, but I absolutely love how much work you put into geological information too. Of course it's all connected but we just don't see that much of this kind of coverage. Everyone tends to stay within their field of expertise. Given your field of study it of course makes perfect sense. It's just not that common to find this educated of material and covering all angles. Very high value content because it's very high effort content. It's impressive work my friend and I'm happy to continue to support it. Making science entertaining is a challenge so great job as always.
@@AncientArchitects I think the point you made in the video about how many megalithic sites would have been destroyed will stay with me for a while. I don't have any data to back this point up but I am pretty sure that most of the stone circles around my area are up hills and often near iron age hill forts.
@@calummcallister137 When all the structures still remaining from the distant past consist of megalithic stones and carefully placed piles of rubble, - one has to ask a question; - How many structures made of wood, clay and manure would one expect to coexist with those structures made of megalitic stones, - and where would they be most concentrated? "Aberdeen" is a word that cognates with "ebr" old european for "river", and "dwne" old european for "drowned". Where would the ice age equivalent of Aberdeen's rivermouths have been located, and when?
Loved this, more in depth details about Doggerland and the Storegga slide. Thank you for this great video Matt 🤗 Ps,, loved the music in de background 🙂
@@HistoryWithKayleigh my window of "beliveable" is just shrinking back a little bit, I still catch a few of them here and there, but I've noticed some problematic assertions on some of my previously favorite channels

@@beaumershon3066 In English, most of the north sea is known as the "Long Forties" referring to how most of it is 40 fathoms deep.

I’m really glad you cover a wide area of topics. It makes your content more enjoyable to watch and learn new things. I can’t imagine being caught up in a tsunami but it can happen anytime anywhere. I was in the Philippines when disaster struck in Japan and friends there were really worried about it at that time. Nothing serious happened but still…..
Thank you so much. Have a great interest in this topic. I would very much like to dive doggerland. Joint expedition something we can plan for the future.
The effects of the Storegga Slide has always fascinated me ever since I heard of them (several years ago). But, then I am in Indiana (US) which was part of an inland sea, and I have visited the Bad Lands which were created by a mega flood when an ice damn gave way. All this, and more, need to be studied and understood.
Even if the people started running, there was no where high enough to get to in time, except perhaps along the Eastern coast of Britain and the affected coasts of Scandinavia. The devastation would have been mind-blowing, to say the least. Thanks, Matt - great video.
My ancestry is Friesian and UK, and Doggerland history has always fascinated me. I theorize that the loss of Doggerland led retreating and refugee populations into ever more crowded and contentious settlement along the European coast, creating conflicts that may well linger into present day. Any thoughts on this?
I just watched a program on PBS about the exploding craters in Siberia which are apparently caused by methane making it up through the permafrost as it melts. Fascinating topic.
I enjoy the different subjects you choose for your videos. I am interested in most of what you show and appreciate your efforts. I hope your channel gets bigger for you! I hit the like button and leave a comment and am suscribed......
Tsunami 30th Jan 1607 - again most likely caused by an underwater land slide, this time off South-West Ireland - so the coastline shown at 5:24 - South West Wales - might have escaped the worst of the event detailed in the video but not the one of four hundred years back.
Ice Situation in antarctica is very stabile. In general there are also increasing glaciers in arctic regions. And sealevel may be lower in warmer condition because of more water in the athmosphere.
The autumn is the worst time for a tsunami to hit coastal settlements. It is after all the food for the winter had been harvested and stored. It is the time when lost food storage can not be replaced for at least half a year. Who survived the wave died from starvation. For those who witnessed it, it must have been the end of the world. The North Sea is lacking bedrock that is not buried too deep to be quarried. The only source for stone are erratic boulders left by the melting glaciers. Most probably these boulders were quarried where ever possible and probably being used for really important structures. Most other structures they had were probably of wood, reed and mud construction. I guess there is not much left to find. Everything has been scattered and buried by millenia of currents, storms and tides, the North Sea really has some bad habits. Trawler fishing scattered and destroyed what was left. I guess that even highest possible definition sonar scanning will not bring much light into it. It would still be interesting to try it. Even if nothing really ancient can be found, maybe some of the ships the North Sea swallowed in the past few centuries can be found. edit: typo
@@fredriks5090 Fishermen should be given as much information as possible on what to look for in their nets and they should be payed for bringing suspicious bycatch to land. Not to generate a business for treasure hunters, that would be destructive and the opposite of being helpful. Only professionel fishermen should be payed and only for bycatch that they found while fishing. It already is quite popular with Noth Sea fishermen to look for ancient animal bones and mammoth teeth in their nets. Expanding that to possibly human worked wooden objects and other stuff is kind of natural.
@@AncientArchitects Please do! I'll be looking forward to it. Another great subject is the impactor in the Indian Ocean around 2800 B.C. that created the Burckle crater and resulting tsunami that may have inspired the Sumerian flood story.
hi, Matt! great information on possible causes of future cataclysms. we absolutey need to study history if we want to survive Ma Natures hiccups. what has happened in the past can happen again, at any time. our planet is not sedentary, it's constantly moving, in geologic time and in our time. i wonder how many large, catastrophic events have happened just in recorded history. very many, for sure. and how many have happened in the same place or close? with the study of history we can, at least, have some idea of what to expect from a given area. tho, that's not written in stone, either. sssooo, study history, be informed, be prepared, honest and trustworthy..... no, wait! that's the boy scout pledge🤯 anyway, good vid, AA! and the music thing didn't bother me at all! one must try new things! carry on, soldier.
I wonder if anyone has radio surveyed the bottom of the North Sea where Doggerland formerly existed? I know the technology exists. Such a survey should pick up any stone monuments, structures, etc. It would certainly be interesting.
So many people don't care about History, Archeology, Anthropology, Geology -- and they aren't aware of how confused they are about the Real world, both past and present. I've been fascinated with history for fifty years but didn't know of Doggerland until about a year ago. I tremble at how many Other Things I'm not aware of.
What is amazing about this, is that the history is still so relevant in so many aspects and the more we discover, the greater the appetite to dig even further. What these oblivious people don't realise is that all of it is even more relevant to understand our world, ourselves and the human condition. When Clement made the first proposed map of Doggerland, I can imagine his excitement and many sleepless nights as he discovered a whole new world. Truly what could be more exciting and relevant than this. Cheers from Canada. Oh yes, long belated apologies from Canada for the disaster caused by the collapse of Lake Aggasiz.
This might sound a bit silly, particularly considering all the change that has happened in the world over time, but I feel sad about the loss of Doggerland.
Some real perspective given on what a cataclysm can take away and leave behind all in the blink of an eye. Does this perspective extend to ancient Egypt?
Since the Orkney culture were farmers not hunter gatherers, it seems like they were probably descendants of early European farmers during the neolithic, not the doggerland people, who more likely went east into Scandinavia where a similar successful culture of hunters/fishers lasted for another thousand years or more
Also into what later became known as the "Low Countries". Ggl "Swifterbantcultuur". Settlements were found when the Southern IJsselmeerpolders were reclaimed.
Interesting ! About the human artifacts you've shown, have any been found from underwater by modern explorers/fishermen? Or, were they only found on modern tera firma?
There’s a whole section on Doggerland in the historical museum in Leiden, the Netherlands, as well as a nice ancient Egyptian collection. Would love to be your guide if you want to come visit :-)
What you refer to as the "last ice age" was actually the most recent glacial maximum; we are still in the current ice age, which began around 2.6 million years ago. We just happen to be in one of many warm interglacial periods that have occurred during this ice age, cycling with a number of glacial periods. The Earth will cycle back to a glacial period again in the future, though none of us will be around to see it.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the British isles and Ireland traditionally having had such a traditionally strong belief in "the veil being thinnest" around Halloween. It's also around the time of the winter equinox, which ancient peoples around the world revered so it may have been an intensely religious time for the Doggerlanders too. That means the wave would have felt like a sort of "punishment" to them, especially since it was something none within living memeory had never experienced anything like it before. Mesolithic "wrath of God" sort of deal, but with their belief system instead. That time of year was a sacred time to the ancient British/Irish pagans for thousands of years and was later commercialized into the candy-giving holiday we all know and love. What if our favorite holiday was originally an ancestral response to losing such a huge portion of their population and it was originally a primitive version of Halloween to keep the massive amount of "ghosts" away? Remember, they would have been finding bodies of both humans and animals everywhere for quite awhile and in various stages of horror, so I think it would be normal for them to develop a phobia of the dead. I'd need to do (and have not done any) research. I'm just postulating. Would be interesting if there was some thin thread of connection between them. Perhaps that's too "romantic" a notion considering there have been thousands of years of migration to those places both before and after the tsunami.
ALSO did you know that the speculation as to how the channel (i.e water between France and England) was created was catastrophic, i.e carved out swiftly(?) I suppose you did, great vid however!!!🥶🏄♀
What can happen, will. If it happened before it will happen again.My geology Prof. always said this is out there and its going to get you if you are not smart about where you live. He also kept a running total of how many people died that year of natural disasters, kind of morbid.
yeah it must have been a horror show, but please state who are the THEY that said the silly statement that the survivors went to Orkney and built the megaliths ?
