    In the Netherlands we find relics from the iceage daily. De zandmotor and the Tweede Maasvlakte are made with sand from the North sea floor. As the tide comes and goes it reveals bones from mammoth, rhino, horses, megaloceros, and even Neanderthal and human tools . Also the fishermen find amazing relics in their nets. I cannot describe how much it fascinates me.

      @FPSIreland2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Michiel de Ruyter what if it is Atlantis? Plato was born in ~400BC so it could be just an ancient story about the flooding of doggerland, then combine that with thousands of years of mythology, it seems logical that they could actually be the same place. Although it’s impossible to prove I guess.
      Edit: thinking again, maybe not so logical. It’s possible the Greeks could’ve learned about the flooding of Doggerland and they adopted it into their own myths. I guess that explains why the location changed from the North Sea to the Atlantic. This does seem rather far fetched that the story found it’s way to Greece but I guess it isn’t impossible? Either way, it’s impossible to prove.

    I have long identified Doggerland with the legendary Hyperborea, naturally inclusive of Scandinavia.
    I first became aware of Doggerland as a boy in the 1950s, from an interesting Popular Science magazine article by, or about, archaeologist Dr. Jurgen Spanuth, who went diving in an old-style diving suit off the coast of Heligoland. In the North Sea. In the late 1940s, where he followed an ancient stone wall out to sea underwater to a bridge, gate and roadway, to ruins of ancient stone buildings. He had discovered an ancient stone village or town. He said the locals called the submerged remains Doggerland.

      With so many legends and tales of sunken lands, from Atlantis to Avalon, Buyan, Llys Helig, Lyonesse, Ys and many more, and the flood myth, perhaps some people from ancient times survived the flooding at the end of the ice age and kept tales from it around. And the british islands seem to be quite rich in legends of sunken lands.

      They don't teach us Europeans this information either. We only learn briefly about prehistoric times and then it's all about Mesopotamia, Greek and Roman empires, colonial times and wars. Me being a Nordic person, I don't remember being taught anything about our own small country's history, besides the most recent wars. As if Europe was only the big colonizing countries. We have ancient cave paintings, ancient ruins and ancient burial sites, but that doesn't seem to be important according to the people who decide what we're being taught.

      The Doggerland information is so 'new' that it's only just getting into the popular sphere. You didn't hear about it because it wasn't yet in any curriculum, being only new research on new findings. Heck, plate tectonics is only from the 1960s. Rising sea levels have only been mapped relatively recently and while (as said in this video) Doggerland was known to exist, it was only as a small rise in the land mass, not the extensive connection between Europe and Greater Britain that we know of, as of this day. Education ... not always about the newest stuff, is all I'm saying.

      I'm not sure why you'd call it _pre_ - historic. It may be, but I don't see any reason to jump to that conclusion. We read ancient accounts of Atlantis, for example, and think, "Mythology!" but it seems more reasonable to me to assume it's historical. I think a lot of "lost" history is lost in this way, our being too arrogant to suppose we're wrong and that ancient stories of giants etc. may not be fantastic.

      It always points out a basic fact to everyone. Nobody today is living a tougher life then they were. And yet we are all stressed with anxiety and depression disorders. Even the homeless or the guy who works out in the winter doesn't have it as bad as these people. We always have options. They didn't always have options. People need to stop crying about standing in long lines or having to park far away. Those are ridiculous things to worry or get mad about. Even if your coat is a little big or a little small and you don't have much money. Wearing that coat, even if you get teased is still I better deal than what those ice age people had to deal with. Do you think an ice man would get angry if someone made fun of them? I think their hungry bellies kept making fun of people out of the mix of society. I could have never survived under those conditions. I would cry, lay on the snow, and die and then be happy I was out of living that life even if there was nothing after life. At least I would no longer be miserable. The funny thing is one of these people could have been an ancestor to me. He would never have been born if I had been born first...lol

There's actually an entire island, with a village on it, and a dock area, where basically a natural gas bubble that was holding up the land suddenly burst and the whole lot ended up under the water. And much deeper than the surrounding seabed now. It went from an island to a crater. They worked out that it went down fast because of the relics they found down there.

      Can you point, on this map, to where the gas bubble touched you? Stories are cool, but it would help if you could provide some details to back this up... you're suggesting there is an archeological dig, recovering artifacts so valuable that people wouldn't have left them... in a crater that's deeper than the surrounding seabed. Then, if this island had been destroyed so catastrophically, to become a crater on the seafloor, these artifacts wouldn't give any useful provenance. They'd be scattered. What you're describing isn't like a sinkhole on land, which is usually caused by depleted ground water creating a void u Der the ground - with a gas bubble, there would be an upwelling first.

Of course, people in that age were more intent on survival rather than philosphy or the grand extent of things-- but humans will always be humans, curious to a fault. I wonder what they thought when they looked up to the night skies, or when they might've look upon the vast seas.

    Okay, there's a bit of an issue with the "mega-tsunami" theory. When a tsunami is created, the shockwave caused by sudden and massive displacement of water is what creates the wave, and the energy of that displacement uses water as the wave medium (er, obviously). However, no matter how far inland a wave travels, it always retreats back into the ocean once the energy of the wave is expended, and even if a huge volume of water is permanently displaced by movement of earth, and thus the seabed is permanently changed suddenly (i.e. a huge volume of earth is added or subtracted to the sea floor), the displaced volume is still occurring in the ocean (so basically the displaced water volume gets averaged out over the volume of the entire ocean) and the sea level doesn't change much (if at all).
    A tsunami by itself, even an enormous one, does not have the ability to "sink land below the waves." Instead, for that to happen one of at least 3 things need to occur (although a tsunami can be part of the series of events in question): 1) the sea level changes quickly (yes, as in sea level for the entire frickin globe changes), 2) the geography of the land and/or seabed changes so land that was previously above sea level gets moved (literally sunk) below sea level; and 3) land that is (or has been moved) below sea level is inundated suddenly by water (the water overcomes a physical barrier that blocks or limits water movement, allowing the sea to permanently flood below-sea-level land).
    So "ridiculously huge tsunami' by itself only explains killing off every fucking living thing in the vicinity. Was there another factor at play here that actually "sunk" the region? Doggerland was mostly low-lying but was it actually below sea-level at the time of the tsunami, and the tsunami overcame a land barrier of some kind? Was part of the landscape moved below sea-level with the Storegga slides?

    As someone from the northwestern part of Germany living near the north sea coast, this is fascinating to imagine that there was so much inhabited land with forests, marshlands and meadows with so many ice age animals where there is just sea now just 8000 years ago.
    This makes me wonder, maybe some of my ancestors might even be escaped doggerlanders who managed to get to the mainland when the island sank. (Only my gandpas ancestry has been in this region of northwest Germany for many generations, but still).

      The sea level was rising to cover Doggerland anyway, both before and after the megatsunami that inundated it (much of which would eventually have drained back off it, although it would have greatly damaged the landscape and left it salty). Year after year the sea was already rising and encroaching more and more upon Doggerland. Many who lived there, who may have been periodically nomadic anyway, may therefore have had time to move to higher ground in what is now both Great Britain and the continent.

    If Doggerland had continued to exist into the middle ages, I wonder how different things would have been. I mean, the Angles would have had no reason to go as far west as they did, and would probably just be like the Frisians today. The Romans might have faced larger Gaul armies, ruining their plans in France. Charlemagne or an equivalent might have had a harder time on his march north against enemies. If doggerland connected Britain and Europe with more than sandbars, all the nations around would have been less sea-faring, with different powers in charge at the new coast line. Any potential Caesar-type from Rome, assuming they would still be dominant, would have had a far easier time annexing Britain, since he wouldn't get separated from half his army when sailing across the channel, would have quicker access to his Gaulic and German allies, better resupply lines, and no reason to let the tribute payments slip, so Britain would have had about 4 centuries of Roman influence rather than 2(?) Centuries with stopping and starting. Christianisation by the catholic church would have been quicker in Britain. The Norse would have been less protected from Christianity, so may have converted sooner.
    Just a tiny bit of land like that severely would change the history of Britain and Europe to something unrecognisable. The events I've mentioned wouldn't have even happened in the same way since the events that caused them would have been different from thousands of years of different tribal wars, leading to different cultures holding power in different regions, always with the threat of a land army coming through Doggerland from Britain or to Britain, without the safety of the channel (though some similar things would have happened anyway overall) I imagine about half of England and all of Scotland would have become quite powerful, under the control of some tribe (not necessarily the Scots or the Picts) that would have benefited from distance just like the Norse did, but with the advantage of fertile soil.

    • @LynxSouth
      @LynxSouth 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Or, couldn't there have been regional alliances that held the Romans off, the way groups of German tribes did? If more combined groups had fought harder, there might have been less Roman influence. With the richness of the Doggerland area and the trade that took place so easily because of it, Roman goods would have been less desirable and persuasive. The more Germanic tribes that resisted Rome successfully, the more resistance there would have been the Christianization. Also, more room for Vikings and other Norsemen to expand into, so maybe less raiding and invading from them in Scotland, England, Ireland, and France. I definitely agree that its continued existence would have change the history of Britain and Europe.

    • @ModernDayRenaissanceMan
      @ModernDayRenaissanceMan 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I actually see it quite the opposite. If you look at human history the very beginning of the Viking raids actually started with the Visigoths. They were able to march all the way down to Rome and sack it. later on they became the Anglo-Saxons because they have the same DNA and they colonized all of England. Their ancestors ended up becoming the Vikings and fighting them. So basically it was three different groups of Scandinavians fighting over most of Europe. They even formed Russia because the Scandinavian Rus ended up taking those east of them out fairly quickly.
      Have they had that extra landmass their population and numbers would have only been that much more superior to the Christians and the Christians would have end up losing. those Germanic tribes that Caesar was so afraid of would have overpowered him and Ballomar May have had 75,000 men instead of 30,000 men from which to attack Valens. There are many different ways to look at the situation but I often see the Vikings as a civilization that landed on America far to the west and founded Russia far to the east and ended up in the Byzantine empire far to the south and ended up even doing battles with the Muslims in the Mediterranean Sea. had they had all of those extra resources they would have ended up conquering the entire world and been the northern version of Rome. I do not think Christianity would have been the dominant source had Doggerland survived. If you look at all the language influence that comes from them today you can really realize just how much of an impact they had despite the fact that they are pretty much now extinct. We came THAT close lol.

    • @ModernDayRenaissanceMan
      @ModernDayRenaissanceMan 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      About Woden... My theory on that which is based on DNA haplotype distribution and mythological distribution as well as some other evidence is that Odin came from middle East or Central Asia and founded a new tribe somewhere in Scandinavia. His brethren ended up marching into Asia off to the far East. Those people ended up crossing the Bering strait into the Americas. If you look at native Americans and the Vikings you find some very similar cultural characteristics. I do not think that it is a coincidence that they worship the moon, a wolf, have similar end of the world stories, and both prefer to hunt with an ax or a hatchet and a bow and an arrow. Also the use of face paint between both cultures tends to be oddly reminiscent of each other not to mention the use of birds.

    After the ice age Scandinavia has risen. The ice who used to press down the landscape melted and the landscape pressed up.
    An example is you find viking boat houses up hills were the water level used to be 1000 years ago.

      Mendel's work rejuvenated genetic science when it was rediscovered, but I wouldn't say it kick-started it. It went mostly unnoticed for quite some time, whereas Darwin's(and Wallace's work) was contemporaneously well known, and used by many as a jumping-off point for further research. The rediscovery of Mendel's work greatly accelerated genetic science though, to be sure.

    Thank you, that was a great video! Well, I should call it a documentary, really - both because of its length and its quality. I've always wanted to learn more about the lost Doggerland between my country Denmark and Britain and this was excellent. It stirs the imagination that 10,000 years ago there were people living in a great and wooded land where the North Sea is today. I'm a bit perplexed by the mega tsunami theory, though. While tsunamies are certainly destructive they don't tend to cover the land permanently under 90 meters of water. Any explanation for this?

    • @HistoryTime
      @HistoryTime  4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Lars Pallesen thanks Lars! From why I read geologists tend to suggest tht Doggerland was already very marshy by this point., also isostatic rebound has a lot to do with it. It’s an interesting concept that I would recommend doing some further research into. Certain areas go down as others go up

    • @gummiberryjuice
      @gummiberryjuice 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I read that glacial Lake Agassiz in America burst, due to global warming after the mini ice age. This caused Doggerland to flood over a couple of years. The lake was 170,000 sq miles and caused global sea levels to rise by 0.8-2.8m.

    • @allmendoubt4784
      @allmendoubt4784 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Recommend a text called After the Ice. The geological shifts were vast from the last GLM and the YDryas eras. The weight of the ice sheets were pushing the northern areas down (Scotland Norway Sweden etc) and this caused the southerly places to buckle upwards; there was also a glacier creating a fresh water lake around the Baltic which eventually joined together. As the ice retreated the effects would have been quite dramatic - similar effects occurred around the Black Sea and Mediterranean. It is worth remembering these ideas span a couple of millennia.

    • @anitapeura3517

      Yes, it's intellectual laziness to think a tsunami (mega or not) causes permanent submergence, of course it doesn't. We've all witnessed this in recent times, the tsunamis in Fukushima and Aceh. The sinking of Doggerland was due to much longer period geological processes, well explained by modern science.

    • @anitapeura3517
      @anitapeura3517 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@gummiberryjuice Took more than that to sink Doggerland, now 10s or 100s of meters below sea. This was a process that took place over several thousands of years, as current geological research shows. All a long term process over 10s of thousands of years as the great ice sheets of the last Ice Age retreated - some land rebounded but elsewhere was submerged as sea levels rose. Much evidence of such movements in Australia, where I live, and the concomitant climatic changes.

    The lesson of Doggerland, whose cataclysmic submergence heralded a mass migration, has prescient meaning in our present times, when melting ice once again shall submerge vast stretches of currently habitable land and force mass human migrations. This story is both a lens into our past and into our future as well!

    For Doggerland to disappear I would think it would take more than a mega tsunami. The sea level would also have to rise and/or the land buckle and sink at the same time. Based on what we know from this video sea levels rose since there is no mention of volcanic activity to coincide with land destruction. So the part of Norway to give way and slide into the sea would have to be extremely huge to raise the sea level in that part of the world. Obviously it could happen but wow that was one huge piece of land to do that.

    HI Pete, an impressive documentary that I enjoyed with my morning tea, thanks! It must be an immense challenge creating them with stock footage, but it worked well, might I suggest being as restrained, or even more restrained than you already are & using a good 15% fewer clips & photos, it may give you a smoother, less choppy look. Also, and I know this is though, but avoiding obvious changes of style between shots would give your films a more even & custom shot for you look; perhaps run a gentle colour grading over everything to bring it all together. Thanks again & good luck with your next production.
