So here we go, the first video of 2020. Ancient Europe is a fascinating subject to delve into. Many more to come on a huge variety of eras. What ancient/ prehistory topics would you like to see me tackle in the future? Please like, subscribe and share with a like minded friend if you enjoyed the video, and i'll see you on the next one! Right, back to work. Watch my latest full length history documentary:- th-cam.com/video/c3Hq6UaFQqk/w-d-xo.html
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.
Doggerland is such a fascinating thing to me. Just knowing that it was inhabited by humans. It fills my head with ideas of what ancient people lived there and what culture myth and history is buried there.
The Time Team show did an episode on DoggerLand/Dogger Banks. They showed an image of the sea bottom scanned by an energy company and it is mind boggling in detail. You can clearly see all the old rivers and deltas now covered by water. There's more stuff on the show and its definitely worth the time to watch.
Well think about it. Land to the south of it at that time had hunter gatherers. What do you think would be north of that? Just colder hunter gatherers. What else do you think would have been there?
@Original-q11 Yes, and apparently there is a huge deposit of coal under the seabed at Dogger that is considered to be top quality and thus of huge value .
Imagine having a fleet of submersible robots that were both strong enough and delicate enough to do proper archealogical digging 100 meters below the surface of the sea.
You named your boat "Colander"? Yes. Her sister ships "Strainer" and "Sieve" both sank on their maiden voyages. We're hoping for better luck this time.
There were holes in the boat Colander letting water in, so we added some more holes to let the water back out. It worked long enough for us to make landfall, but the Colander was lost. We called our new home Doughnutland (cause Dough' nut look nice) and we felt safe. Now we knew we were no longer in danger of sinking!!!! Wait...Oh FFS!!!!! Come on!! Boats might have holes, but surely Doughnutland doesn't!??! Damn, we're in a jam now!!
Brilliant documentary thank you. I come from the village where the Creswell horse head was found, Creswell Crags is an amazing place with a lovely little museum with plenty of other amazing finds. You can go on guided tours into the caves to see the rock art first hand. We're not exactly in the Peak District we're about 20 odd miles away but definitely worth a visit.
26:57 The Thames and Rhine flowed into the same delta 🤯🤯🤯🤯. So many small aspects of this documentary could be a long interesting documentary themselves.
There's something poetic about the three major country defining rivers of the Rhine, the Seine and the Thames running into the same river. These rivers have been vital in shaping some of the biggest European countries and they used to unite.
Great comment. Makes the whole idea of Doggerland as the advanced centre of this region very likely. Like a Germanic Atlantis, from the pictures. Where the world revolved around it.
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.
@@FPSIreland2 because Plato made up Atlantis for what was basically a thought experiment. It wasnt based in myth until the centuries after him as people thought started to believe in it
@@lewisbeckett9598For years I’ve kind of figured the story of Atlantis might have come from accounts of the flooding of Doggerland, telephone gamed over the course of centuries to millennia into Plato’s myth
I first heard of the area because of Dogger Bank, a fairly shallow fishing area in the North Sea. Did not realize Dogger Bank and Doggerland were the same area.
@tog hoath well said. was thinking same thing, like where does this weird narrator voice get this info, do your own vlog/ channel, this one is just nonsense, there is a more believable history from an ancient Fresian text, about sunken land, or now covered by rising sea levels. close to the nederlands, obscure history / myths, seriously do your own vlog. this guy sounds like the shipping forecast but got the map upsidedown,
@@nco_gets_it it was all the wood fired power generators that the Diplodocuses ran all the time to cool themselves down. Conversely, the ice ages were caused by the shutting down of all industry by the Mammoths. By imposing a wood tax on the world, whole economies were destroyed, thus paving the way for the ice to cover ⅔ of the earth, because by the time the ice was in full swing, nobody cared enough to make it melt. I read that even the sabre-toothed tigers had to make do with a bowl of rice a day. Yes, I think all the ups and downs of the earth's climate are directly attributable to dinosaurs, mammoths, and humans. Hey, has anyone seen my pig? He was last seen flying over the remains of the western economy....
Well, the fishermen along the Danish west coast all knew there were houses buried at the bottom of the North Sea on Doggerbanke. They'd get building timber in their trawling nets and after hard storms, large, water soaked timber would be carried ashore by the waves.
Cave kid: mommy look at the deer antler mask I made! Cave mom: that's cute sweetie! Archaeologist: the anthropological significance of this artifact may be indicative of emerging pre-religious ritualistic tendencies with zoomorphic features.
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. Even in floods afterwards land was lost, and we still have the stories of those. The Dutch and northern germans even took part of it back.
As an American, yes, I mourn that we never learned of this rich and complicated history. It is so valuable to know the prehistoric history of Europe. It is our history as well.
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.
Amazing. Could you do a documentary of southern India ? Thousands of years ago India and Sri Lanka were connected, and Hindu scriptures mention that there were great civilizations that existed there around 3000 BC which vanished under the sea.
The recent offshore discoveries off India are really amazing and need to be investigated further. Of course that will take years as they are also vast. The most amazing part to my mind is that ancient Indian religious texts seem to have become validated as historical documents.
Yeah I was looking at that going that's one really big river you could just sail the whole thing I realize that they just traded from one end to the other!
@@timbirch4999 is there some kind of doc on TH-cam we could look at regarding the river Channel I love this truth about Doggoland. You know what happens is every time there's a famine a natural disaster or something like that to usually the educated the ones that are the the ones that help run things Etc they either get killed because they catch the disease they are left behind because of the tsunami earthquake whatever it is they're trying to help people and they don't make sure that the educated the illiterate the ones that know all of the secrets of how to do things get out survive and that is why all of a sudden people keep going round back to where they don't know their history they don't understand how to do things and they have to relearn and then they go back around and do the same thing it might happen to us the only thing that withstands a volcanic explosion at withstand the volcano and Volcanic upheaval is literally just kiln-fired kaolin porcelain and that's if it was not shattered to dust in the explosion and that's the only thing everything else mounts everything so do you really think that there weren't other civilizations possibly even greater than ours because they knew how to use their minds in such a way that they weren't dependent upon technical advances like we are we quit using our minds and we use our Braun and we use our minds to make things work for us and that is fabulous it's fascinating but we still can't build pyramid like they did
This was absolutely brilliant. One of the most interesting and well made documentaries I have watched in a long time. Thoroughly enjoyable piece of work.
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
@@katiekat4457 I am so with you on most of what you say. Turn the central heating off and it would all be over for me. That is an exaggeration but I certainly couldn’t have survived those conditions. We are spoilt and find things to angst about, however I am not sure it would have been an equal society even then, I feel there would still have been the have nots and the have even less, people who hogged the fire, fought to get the most food, greed seems to be in some people’s nature. I am sure there would also be those who gave up their coat or food for someone else.
When I used to work on trawlers in the North sea sometimes we would catch a species of small shark called dogfish but by the time these reached fish and chip shops in London they had somehow became Rock-Salmon on the menu.
Some parts went down faster. Like immediately. 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. They're too valuable to have been left behind by people moving away from a slow inundation.
I remember hearing about that at university. It disappeared about 1500 years ago apparently. A bubble of land was held above the water and had a sort of 'Dogger Services' operation on it for passing sailors. And then it basically popped one day and the whole thing subsided and sank.
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.
@@hrimfaxi1 Of course. We've had big settlements for much longer than that in various parts of the world. Read up on Gobekli Tepe for example, there's much more .. Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock has done great work on this.
Doggerland, at least a part of it, is still accessible at very low tide levels off the coast Lincolnshire, not much more than a sandbank now. It has become a tradition to visit it during these times to play cricket of all things.
@@whynottalklikeapirat Arrr mi hearty and shiver mi timbers, there were no "civilisations" on doggerland , I don't think there were any anywhere at that time ( I could be wrong ) there were maybe villages at that time and migratory groups of hunter gatherers and that is about it, but I agree more investigations should be done.
Peat has also historically be a vital fuel in Denmark, especially during the German occupation, this is largely why so much peat has been dug up and why we have made so many archeological finds in the peat bogs.
That was my exact thought as soon as I heard the name "Doggerland". It was probably a war of mutual extinction: Doggerland sank into the sea, and Catterland was launched into the void of space...
Whenever I watch these types of videos (as being sort of a sentimentalist), I always wonder who built these things that we now admire and see as our ancient, ancient past today. What life did they lead? Did they ever wonder about the greater world? 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. Just a little thought of mine (which I'm sure could either be debunked or exemplified, but it's always fun to wonder).
Being a bit of a romantic,when I look at the moon at night,I think of all those who have joined me over the Melania enjoying this wonderful night sky. Now I know those in Doggaland shared the same moon.
I wonder too. I even think maybe this means we're closer to our ancient ancestors than we think? For all me and you know, we're an exact facial replica!
We live in such an amazing time to be able to know so much about Earths history. Those people back 10k years ago could never have imagined a life like this where we are now. Will the future humans be saying the same about us?
I wonder about that too, even looking back at the 1920’s seems like the Dark Ages compared to how nothing is perfect, but there has been a better time to be alive than right now
Prehistoric man was smarter in a sense than we are today! The difference was that they had not had 1000's of yrs. of accumulated knowledge that we benefit from today. Knowledge is accumulating faster now than we can absorb it, and if we can save our home from destruction we will prosper for centuries to come. The battle to save ourselves and the planet is against the multi-national, non human entities that do NOT care about humanity preferring profits instead, at the moment they rule the world! Tax havens and tax minimization schemes, need to be prohibited, these companies must be made to pay their dues! Most of the biggest corporations worldwide pay NO tax at all and some even get public funded rebates for taking/selling OUR resources, SURE they pay 'royalties' and labor costs, and provide employment but they also get rebates that compensate for this, most contracts also require the country to provide the infrastructure IE : roads, trains, shipping and loading terminals etc. "Will the future humans be saying the same about us?" ? ? ? I think they will think we were ' smucks ! '
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?
there is one mentioned scene with the earth layers which backsup the theory of the tsunamie. in other documentation they say- the glacial spike from north just digged through. and after the ice melting doggerland was gone.
Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson both believe a commit hit the earth about, or several maybe between 12,500 and 11,500 years ago. I've seen them on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. At the start of the video I heard the timeline of this event and I was amazed!!
I really like your work. The documentaries are very detailed and interesting. Also, for a non native English speaker like myself your speech is very clear and easy to understand. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Thomas. Great to hear you like the show, and that my voice is understandable. A few people are irritated by my Northern accent 😁. loads more ancient history coming this year!
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). Over the thousands of years, there were probably so many migrations anyways in europe that former doggerlanders have likely settled in many places in europe.
I don't think it sank. I think the sea rose due to melting ice. Unless there was an earthquake or tectonic plate shift but that happens over millions of years not thousands.
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.
Then you might have the "lebensraum" that you wanted and wouldn't have started 2 world wars. Oh who am i kidding, creepy people always greedy for more, probably would try to change Slavs into lampshades and use their fat to make soap for your hogmaw-fressing cannibal children to wash the pork-grease off of their hands and fat sausage-shaped fingers. Called the "barbarians" by Rome and other civilized people, when they finally were convinced to stop sacrificing their own children to their "gods" and act slightly more human than the naked Africans slicing ears off of the women from neighbouring tribes, they created cities and filmed themselves making sex to chicken and lambs (it's still the only EU country where sex to nonhuman is still legal) which causes diseases like covid to spread. Then create banks, whose collapse in 2010 stole from the rest of the EU and made it clear people who do not work on Saturday are the MORE HONEST ones who you should TRUST a bank to because Protestants cannot be safely mixed with such a powerful job, or else their so-easily-corrupted nature comes screaming to make them lose self-control, as much as putting a priest to guard the chastity of preteen boys is a bad idea, look at how many scandals Deutsche-bank has in so little time or German-Swiss banks who stole from Jews, and you realize putting a square-head Jerry's greedy hands to guard a bank's money is like asking a priest to guard a little boy's chastity, it's like if i ask gross fat Poland politicians to guard my 3 tons of krautNkielbasa sandwiches from Cardi B because she can eat as much kielbasa in 1 day as the entire country of Poland, or ask Ukraine to try creating an army with
@@michaelwoods450 And even now there are places that are at risk of sinking. From The Fens in Britain to the north German flatlands and most of the Netherlands. We try or best to hold the water back. It's already close to 9 inches since 1880. If we keep going the north of Denmark will become an island just barely above water.
One of the best documentaries on TH-cam. A topic like this could easily be very dry, scientific and full of facts and dates - you have managed brilliantly to make it mystical and fascinating. Well done!
I like how I got a chill down my spin when my bloody town was mentioned 43:50, and the discovery was only made 6 years before I was born. Jings, I'd been told all my life the basin was formed because of a Tsunami and obviously discovered it was true when I looked it up in 2010/11 and linked to the collapse. Only discovered about Doggerland last year but did not suspect or expect the two events to be linked.
You only need one or tother of _'unexpected'_ & _'unsuspected,'_ I expect/suspect (exept if you suspect upon closer inspection it warrants the exception).
Mildred: Ralph, the sealevel is up to the doorway. Ralph: I build this hut with my bare hands. I'll be damned if I am leaving. HELL OR HIGH WATER! Last words of the last 2 people lIving in Doggerland.
We can hear the echoes of the voices of the last residents of Doggerland: "Go on with your canoes you bunch of wankers. My grandaddy survived floods. My pappy survived floods, and we're gonna ride this spring out too and be just fine" as he angrily waves an axehead in the air that was dredged up by a fishing trawler 5000 years later.
Male mammoth: "So, where are we going for our summer holidays this year?" Female mammoth: "Oh, let's go to Doggerland again! I really liked it last time."
@@keithtinkler4073 As far as we know. Mainstream science is very stringent with its dating process and disregards what ancient cultures claim how old they actually are. For example the massive flood myths and destruction could be linked to the younger dryas periods. Which is around 12 000 bc. And the more we uncover in mainstream science the further we push that date further back in time. Of course this is all meer speculation and theory. The mythology about the hyperboreans were only mentioned during the time that the gods lived among the people before they left. But yes technically you are right.
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.
just imagine doggerland being a no mans land in medieval ages since this one big peice of land is very fertile and a tactical position for military and trade. Every fucking kingdoms or empires would gladly go out and march their armies to battle.
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.
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.
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.
True just as the landbridge un Alaska changed everything, if open for longer or never opened a lot, before Columbus only Polinesians and Norseman made it to America around the same time i believe, how diferent could have turned out
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. Opposite happened and happens in north sea, southern Denmark, netherlands etc. So is not only about rising water but also how the earth moves. When land rises, it sinks other places.
Thick heavy ice sheets pushing down on the earth's crust. Raising doggerland, before melting and see-sawing it underwater. It's mentioned in the video, isostatic or post glacial rebound. I think the internet should put out more info about this. Crazy to think of tectonic plates and their buoyancy atop the mantle!
@@nikobellic570 Okey must have missed it in the vid. But yes you explain it in better English than me. People seem to only talk about rising water levels not rising and sinking of land that why i commented. Curius how tha earth is in constant movement :)
Greetings from the Netherlands! We're building towards you. Don't despair! We come to the rescue! And take over of course. Dutch is not that hard to learn.
At first, probable of Netherlands. It diverged as the post went on ? -- Building towards you ?? Hmmm ..... -- Do not despare ?? Huh ? -- Dutch is not that hard to learn ?? (NO ! Not even close !) Sounds much more German, than from the Netherlands.
In the middle 70's my father worked for a international oil comp. who mapped the complete Noordzee, in the archives you can find some maps with spots what looks like old village's .....
Reading all I have on Norse mythology I wonder if the tales of Ragnarock were descended from the recounting of survivors in the final sinking of Doggerland.
This is how Doggerland sank. Science is about constantly questioning everything, and not dogmatically believing in anything just because it's the norm.

@@DudeInOhio85 The evidence behind it shares the same as to why Norway's coast is so jagged, something happened when all the ice in the world was melting and a bit of a tsunami happened over here according to sources on this topic. Not that it wasn't slowly sinking as you say, but that basically put the nail in the coffin.

This is so interesting! I´ve been reading Maria Adolfsson ´s crime novels about a fictional Doggerland. She has created a fictional country that has sort of a Scandi-British culture, with new traditions that is a little bit of both. It´s a fascinating thought what that country would be like if it still would be here. I recommend them to anyone who like some Scandi Noir. Doggerland: Deception and Doggerland: Storm Warning There is also a third one, published less than a month ago that I haven´t read yet, called "Mellan Djävulen och havet", I don´t know what the English title will be but it means "Between the Devil and the sea".
@@padraig5335 Yes, at least the two first ones in the series, Doggerland: Deception and Doggerland: Storm Warning are translated into English. I read somewhere that they´re translated into 18 languages.
@@HappyBeezerStudios It's set in our current times in a still dry Doggerland. It's a quite small country, so some of the real historical Doggerland is underwater, though. This fictional country consist of three islands "Heimö", "Noorö" and "Frisel". Now there are 6 books in the series (or 5 , the 6th one is going to be released in February).
Maybe Genghis Khan and his Mongol hordes could have gone on tour of South East England, Napoleon marched across from France with his grande army or the Germans invaded during ww1 or 2 with no need for a risky seaborne assault.
A great time travel book by Poul Anderson called Time Patrol, has the training camp out in America pryor to the migration to come. It reads well and it transports your imagination along with the characters adventures... think I'll read it again now myself . Just thought maybe you'd be interested . 👍🙉🙈🙊✌️😁
Yeah like dire wolves saber toothed cats lions hyenas cave bears. It was a diff mindset when half the animals are trying to eat you and your kids And most dangerous of all strange tribes
Hard to really imagen woolly mammoths dinosaurs, and all them animals alive, my brain can't connect real life to these animals, would be incredible mindblowing to see
I appreciate the heads up, thank you: www.softschools.com/facts/scientists/gregor_mendel_facts/1989/ www.thoughtco.com/about-gregor-mendel-1224841 There are far too many know-it-all narrators of docs.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
Missed this one, Pete. Just awesome as usual!! Your content is just incredible. I knew about Doggerland before, but never knew some of things in your video. You are amazing!!
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!
This is the type of documentary that you can learn something new from each time you watch it - I am so damned excited and grateful for the time and thought that goes into these!
This is a quality documentary. Amazing fading in and out of the theme tune. The mood throughout helps to counter the dangerously optimistic attitudes people have towards our current sea level rise crisis.
An expert on languages which I saw on you tube last week remarked how English is evolving into the universal language and one of the examples he gave was the use of "of" instead of "have". In 100 years no one will know how you did it!
Such a fascinating topic! Although I knew somethings about it (partially from your other videos) it was still very informative, even about some interesting things not directly related to the Doggerland, like the Shigir Idol.
I hadn’t heard of The Shigir Idol until I began the research for this video. Absolutely captivating stuff. It may feature again in my ancient Eurasian Steppe video that I’ll do eventually. Thanks for watching!
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.
Time Team did a show on the slide and the tsunami went across the Atlantic, broke the ice wall holding Canada's inland sea, and that water came back to fully cover Dogglerland.
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.
Fantastic work! I learned so much, thank you! Could you make more documentary about prehistoric times? Your docs are the firsts i see that focus on the last hunter-gatherer's pov, usually it's all about the first farmers. Ps: little typo with Dryas being Dyras
I have read about and watched tv programmes and videos about doggerland ever since I 1st read about the mesolithic spear head fished up there. Still love hearing about it and imagining life there before it flooded.
Found this documentary channel recently and i'm on marathon documentary. Such a great channel and i'm sure this channel will grow bigger and bigger. Keep it up!
The stories of the floods are local accounts of far more universal events. We are still beholden to British gradualism, which is to say, the hatred of revolution by the elites.
I love your documentaries. You go straight to business and focus on what's important - the history. Normally I'd have to sit through 15 dull minutes of introduction of the narrator, and some pointless thought experiment to warm up before the actual content is shown.
So here we go, the first video of 2020. Ancient Europe is a fascinating subject to delve into. Many more to come on a huge variety of eras. What ancient/ prehistory topics would you like to see me tackle in the future? Please like, subscribe and share with a like minded friend if you enjoyed the video, and i'll see you on the next one!

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.

Sounds amazing! I'd be fascinated too.
Doggerland is such a fascinating thing to me. Just knowing that it was inhabited by humans. It fills my head with ideas of what ancient people lived there and what culture myth and history is buried there.
It’s truly a fascinating topic
The Time Team show did an episode on DoggerLand/Dogger Banks. They showed an image of the sea bottom scanned by an energy company and it is mind boggling in detail. You can clearly see all the old rivers and deltas now covered by water. There's more stuff on the show and its definitely worth the time to watch.
Well think about it. Land to the south of it at that time had hunter gatherers. What do you think would be north of that? Just colder hunter gatherers. What else do you think would have been there?

@Original-q11 Yes, and apparently there is a huge deposit of coal under the seabed at Dogger that is considered to be top quality and thus of huge value .
Imagine having a fleet of submersible robots that were both strong enough and delicate enough to do proper archealogical digging 100 meters below the surface of the sea.
@@Original-q11Do you think They are keeping things back from us?? I recommend the Da Vinci code. That'll feed your stunning imagination.

You named your boat "Colander"?
Yes. Her sister ships "Strainer" and "Sieve" both sank on their maiden voyages. We're hoping for better luck this time.
It`s Colinda, though.
There were holes in the boat Colander letting water in, so we added some more holes to let the water back out. It worked long enough for us to make landfall, but the Colander was lost.
We called our new home Doughnutland (cause Dough' nut look nice) and we felt safe. Now we knew we were no longer in danger of sinking!!!!
Wait...Oh FFS!!!!! Come on!!

underrated comment--but so true! He really packs stuff in! Makes me want to dust off those old library books!
There's something poetic about the three major country defining rivers of the Rhine, the Seine and the Thames running into the same river. These rivers have been vital in shaping some of the biggest European countries and they used to unite.
Great comment. Makes the whole idea of Doggerland as the advanced centre of this region very likely. Like a Germanic Atlantis, from the pictures. Where the world revolved around it.
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.
@@FPSIreland2 Travellers arriving there saying how their home land or fathers home land sunk beneath the ocean maybe
@@FPSIreland2 because Plato made up Atlantis for what was basically a thought experiment. It wasnt based in myth until the centuries after him as people thought started to believe in it

There's been a clue in the shipping forecast for many years, but no doubt, it's a fascinating subject.
I first heard of the area because of Dogger Bank, a fairly shallow fishing area in the North Sea. Did not realize Dogger Bank and Doggerland were the same area.
@tog hoath well said. was thinking same thing, like where does this weird narrator voice get this info, do your own vlog/ channel, this one is just nonsense, there is a more believable history from an ancient Fresian text, about sunken land, or now covered by rising sea levels. close to the nederlands, obscure history / myths, seriously do your own vlog. this guy sounds like the shipping forecast but got the map upsidedown,
@tog hoath You could also use all that free time of yours to do something useful or at least something positive.

@@nco_gets_it it was all the wood fired power generators that the Diplodocuses ran all the time to cool themselves down. Conversely, the ice ages were caused by the shutting down of all industry by the Mammoths. By imposing a wood tax on the world, whole economies were destroyed, thus paving the way for the ice to cover ⅔ of the earth, because by the time the ice was in full swing, nobody cared enough to make it melt. I read that even the sabre-toothed tigers had to make do with a bowl of rice a day. Yes, I think all the ups and downs of the earth's climate are directly attributable to dinosaurs, mammoths, and humans.

Well, the fishermen along the Danish west coast all knew there were houses buried at the bottom of the North Sea on Doggerbanke. They'd get building timber in their trawling nets and after hard storms, large, water soaked timber would be carried ashore by the waves.

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.

Did the ancient aliens build this land-bridge? 🤣
Pretty good chance Hyperborea is based on a real location.
I've always identified it with bollocks and the fact they where just wrong like many other ancient maps.
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.
Even in floods afterwards land was lost, and we still have the stories of those. The Dutch and northern germans even took part of it back.
As an American, yes, I mourn that we never learned of this rich and complicated history. It is so valuable to know the prehistoric history of Europe. It is our history as well.
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.
How stupid do you think the European people are? Just because the USA saved Europe in ww2, you don't own their history
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.
But there's just as much "pre-historic" history in America itself. We just forget that people existed in America, pre-Columbus.
Amazing. Could you do a documentary of southern India ? Thousands of years ago India and Sri Lanka were connected, and Hindu scriptures mention that there were great civilizations that existed there around 3000 BC which vanished under the sea.
Paven mohan is great. Search him on here.
The recent offshore discoveries off India are really amazing and need to be investigated further. Of course that will take years as they are also vast. The most amazing part to my mind is that ancient Indian religious texts seem to have become validated as historical documents.
this period in human history is endlessly fascinating to me, thank you for these videos.

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
@@katiekat4457 I am so with you on most of what you say. Turn the central heating off and it would all be over for me. That is an exaggeration but I certainly couldn’t have survived those conditions.

When I used to work on trawlers in the North sea sometimes we would catch a species of small shark called dogfish but by the time these reached fish and chip shops in London they had somehow became Rock-Salmon on the menu.
Some parts went down faster. Like immediately. 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. They're too valuable to have been left behind by people moving away from a slow inundation.
Villages … 9000 years ago?
Lol love the things people make up in the comment sections.
I remember hearing about that at university. It disappeared about 1500 years ago apparently. A bubble of land was held above the water and had a sort of 'Dogger Services' operation on it for passing sailors. And then it basically popped one day and the whole thing subsided and sank.
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.
@@hrimfaxi1 Of course. We've had big settlements for much longer than that in various parts of the world. Read up on Gobekli Tepe for example, there's much more .. Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock has done great work on this.
Absolutely legendary.Everyone needs to know about Doggerland.
The secrets that will be found here will be truly magical.
Thanks for watching! There will be many more discoveries under the North Sea I am sure.

Doggerland, at least a part of it, is still accessible at very low tide levels off the coast Lincolnshire, not much more than a sandbank now. It has become a tradition to visit it during these times to play cricket of all things.

That was my exact thought as soon as I heard the name "Doggerland". It was probably a war of mutual extinction: Doggerland sank into the sea, and Catterland was launched into the void of space...

Whenever I watch these types of videos (as being sort of a sentimentalist), I always wonder who built these things that we now admire and see as our ancient, ancient past today. What life did they lead? Did they ever wonder about the greater world? 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. Just a little thought of mine (which I'm sure could either be debunked or exemplified, but it's always fun to wonder).
Being a bit of a romantic,when I look at the moon at night,I think of all those who have joined me over the Melania enjoying this wonderful night sky.
Now I know those in Doggaland shared the same moon.
Ha. Even with the Internet today most people remain abysmally ignorant about most things other than their immediate needs and surroundings.
I wonder too. I even think maybe this means we're closer to our ancient ancestors than we think? For all me and you know, we're an exact facial replica!
@@jimstretch6109 I don't think so. Life is just fast paced hard to slow down when you're a modern hunchbacked slave worker.
Please see Eckashic records
We live in such an amazing time to be able to know so much about Earths history. Those people back 10k years ago could never have imagined a life like this where we are now. Will the future humans be saying the same about us?
I wonder about that too, even looking back at the 1920’s seems like the Dark Ages compared to how
nothing is perfect, but there has been a better time to be alive than right now
You are assuming there is a future for mankind...
Prehistoric man was smarter in a sense than we are today! The difference was that they had not had 1000's of yrs. of accumulated knowledge that we benefit from today. Knowledge is accumulating faster now than we can absorb it, and if we can save our home from destruction we will prosper for centuries to come.
The battle to save ourselves and the planet is against the multi-national, non human entities that do NOT care about humanity preferring profits instead, at the moment they rule the world!
Tax havens and tax minimization schemes, need to be prohibited, these companies must be made to pay their dues! Most of the biggest corporations worldwide pay NO tax at all and some even get public funded rebates for taking/selling OUR resources, SURE they pay 'royalties' and labor costs, and provide employment but they also get rebates that compensate for this, most contracts also require the country to provide the infrastructure IE : roads, trains, shipping and loading terminals etc.
"Will the future humans be saying the same about us?" ? ? ? I think they will think we were ' smucks ! '
Future humanoids will likely be emanating the thought-notion about us as “WTF?!”
That we rapped the earth for our own greed!.
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?
Clearly the sea level went up due to Mesolithic European Man's flagrant use of plastic bags and drinking straws.
@@snopure racism
snopure ...Big, big, BIG chuckle on THAT!
there is one mentioned scene with the earth layers which backsup the theory of the tsunamie. in other documentation they say- the glacial spike from north just digged through. and after the ice melting doggerland was gone.
Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson both believe a commit hit the earth about, or several maybe between 12,500 and 11,500 years ago. I've seen them on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. At the start of the video I heard the timeline of this event and I was amazed!!
Amazing content, the fact the Thames used to run into the Rhine shows you how interconnected we are

Thanks Thomas. Great to hear you like the show, and that my voice is understandable. A few people are irritated by my Northern accent 😁. loads more ancient history coming this year!
I listen to your voice to go to sleep and end up listening to the entire thing before I can stop.
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). Over the thousands of years, there were probably so many migrations anyways in europe that former doggerlanders have likely settled in many places in europe.
I don't think it sank. I think the sea rose due to melting ice. Unless there was an earthquake or tectonic plate shift but that happens over millions of years not thousands.
@@jimstretch6109 I believe the mega tsunami wiped them out or at the last remaining humans on the island.
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.
Then you might have the "lebensraum" that you wanted and wouldn't have started 2 world wars. Oh who am i kidding, creepy people always greedy for more, probably would try to change Slavs into lampshades and use their fat to make soap for your hogmaw-fressing cannibal children to wash the pork-grease off of their hands and fat sausage-shaped fingers. Called the "barbarians" by Rome and other civilized people, when they finally were convinced to stop sacrificing their own children to their "gods" and act slightly more human than the naked Africans slicing ears off of the women from neighbouring tribes, they created cities and filmed themselves making sex to chicken and lambs (it's still the only EU country where sex to nonhuman is still legal) which causes diseases like covid to spread. Then create banks, whose collapse in 2010 stole from the rest of the EU and made it clear people who do not work on Saturday are the MORE HONEST ones who you should TRUST a bank to because Protestants cannot be safely mixed with such a powerful job, or else their so-easily-corrupted nature comes screaming to make them lose self-control, as much as putting a priest to guard the chastity of preteen boys is a bad idea, look at how many scandals Deutsche-bank has in so little time or German-Swiss banks who stole from Jews, and you realize putting a square-head Jerry's greedy hands to guard a bank's money is like asking a priest to guard a little boy's chastity, it's like if i ask gross fat Poland politicians to guard my 3 tons of krautNkielbasa sandwiches from Cardi B because she can eat as much kielbasa in 1 day as the entire country of Poland, or ask Ukraine to try creating an army with

I like how I got a chill down my spin when my bloody town was mentioned 43:50, and the discovery was only made 6 years before I was born. Jings, I'd been told all my life the basin was formed because of a Tsunami and obviously discovered it was true when I looked it up in 2010/11 and linked to the collapse. Only discovered about Doggerland last year but did not suspect or expect the two events to be linked.

Maybe this is Hyperboria the mythical land of the furthest North that the Greeks talked about? They described it as a literal paradise of plenty.
it would have been submerged by well before 5000 BP (300O BC) when the sea reached its present level - long before the Greeks per se.
@@keithtinkler4073 As far as we know. Mainstream science is very stringent with its dating process and disregards what ancient cultures claim how old they actually are. For example the massive flood myths and destruction could be linked to the younger dryas periods. Which is around 12 000 bc. And the more we uncover in mainstream science the further we push that date further back in time.
Of course this is all meer speculation and theory. The mythology about the hyperboreans were only mentioned during the time that the gods lived among the people before they left.
But yes technically you are right.

@@localdude3702 yeah pointless comment he was talking about the greeks
Lovely, and well done. Amazing how you've produced a geologic documentary, told like a tale of mythical legend. Stoner pleasure.
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.
just imagine doggerland being a no mans land in medieval ages since this one big peice of land is very fertile and a tactical position for military and trade. Every fucking kingdoms or empires would gladly go out and march their armies to battle.
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.
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.
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.
True just as the landbridge un Alaska changed everything, if open for longer or never opened a lot, before Columbus only Polinesians and Norseman made it to America around the same time i believe, how diferent could have turned out
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.
Opposite happened and happens in north sea, southern Denmark, netherlands etc. So is not only about rising water but also how the earth moves. When land rises, it sinks other places.
Thick heavy ice sheets pushing down on the earth's crust. Raising doggerland, before melting and see-sawing it underwater. It's mentioned in the video, isostatic or post glacial rebound. I think the internet should put out more info about this. Crazy to think of tectonic plates and their buoyancy atop the mantle!
@@nikobellic570 Okey must have missed it in the vid. But yes you explain it in better English than me. People seem to only talk about rising water levels not rising and sinking of land that why i commented. Curius how tha earth is in constant movement :)
The movement of the earth is recently science.

So good. I’ve heard about Doggerland never really looked into it. Very insightful and even inspiring a bit.
This is so interesting!
I´ve been reading Maria Adolfsson ´s crime novels about a fictional Doggerland. She has created a fictional country that has sort of a Scandi-British culture, with new traditions that is a little bit of both. It´s a fascinating thought what that country would be like if it still would be here. I recommend them to anyone who like some Scandi Noir. Doggerland: Deception and Doggerland: Storm Warning There is also a third one, published less than a month ago that I haven´t read yet, called "Mellan Djävulen och havet", I don´t know what the English title will be but it means "Between the Devil and the sea".
Are these books translated into english? This sounds interesting.
@@padraig5335 Yes, at least the two first ones in the series, Doggerland: Deception and Doggerland: Storm Warning are translated into English. I read somewhere that they´re translated into 18 languages.

Are they set in modern times with a still dry Doggerland or set in a historical context?
@@HappyBeezerStudios It's set in our current times in a still dry Doggerland. It's a quite small country, so some of the real historical Doggerland is underwater, though. This fictional country consist of three islands "Heimö", "Noorö" and "Frisel".
Now there are 6 books in the series (or 5 , the 6th one is going to be released in February).
Makes me wonder what our reality would be if Doggerland, Zealandia, and Beringia never sank.
None of them SANK, they were submerged in a rise in sea levels after the ice age.
These racist mammoth farts caused the ice to melt and if you don't believe me you are a Nazi.
@@audreydempsey247 haha global warming big funnee xdd
Very, very cold. They could rise again with the coming ice age.
Maybe Genghis Khan and his Mongol hordes could have gone on tour of South East England, Napoleon marched across from France with his grande army or the Germans invaded during ww1 or 2 with no need for a risky seaborne assault.
This is why we need a time machine to explore history. Can you imagine the incredible sights we would see?
A great time travel book by Poul Anderson called Time Patrol, has the training camp out in America pryor to the migration to come. It reads well and it transports your imagination along with the characters adventures... think I'll read it again now myself . Just thought maybe you'd be interested .
👍🙉🙈🙊✌️😁
@@nosillalaluna7078 Thanks. Poul Anderson is one of my favourite scifi authors.
Yeah like dire wolves saber toothed cats lions hyenas cave bears. It was a diff mindset when half the animals are trying to eat you and your kids
And most dangerous of all strange tribes
Hard to really imagen woolly mammoths dinosaurs, and all them animals alive, my brain can't connect real life to these animals, would be incredible mindblowing to see
The narrator says Darwin "kickstarted" genetic science. He did not. Gregor Mendel did.
I appreciate the heads up, thank you:

There are far too many know-it-all narrators of docs.
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.
Easy peasy.
"... kick-started modern genetic science..."
@@LeeGee Nono, let's not be literal, reasonable, contextual and factual to a pedantic...
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
Missed this one, Pete. Just awesome as usual!! Your content is just incredible. I knew about Doggerland before, but never knew some of things in your video. You are amazing!!
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!
It is
They became the sea people and I Vader Egypt
This is the type of documentary that you can learn something new from each time you watch it - I am so damned excited and grateful for the time and thought that goes into these!
Thanks so much! I loved making it
Agree!!
This is a quality documentary. Amazing fading in and out of the theme tune. The mood throughout helps to counter the dangerously optimistic attitudes people have towards our current sea level rise crisis.
That was a great video Pete Kelly , although I have studied much related to this subject you have condensed it so very well. Thank you
Love these videos. I’m always reassured I’m just a blip in time so don’t worry about anything.
My dad used to fish off the Dogger bank and he used to bring some great stuff home .Bison bones, mammoth knuckle bone, shaped flint etc.
Wow fascinating. Does your family still have them?

I am so happy to of found your channel! Cheers from Victoria Canada 🇨🇦 👍
An expert on languages which I saw on you tube last week remarked how English is evolving into the universal language and one of the examples he gave was the use of "of" instead of "have". In 100 years no one will know how you did it!
Such a fascinating topic! Although I knew somethings about it (partially from your other videos) it was still very informative, even about some interesting things not directly related to the Doggerland, like the Shigir Idol.
I hadn’t heard of The Shigir Idol until I began the research for this video. Absolutely captivating stuff. It may feature again in my ancient Eurasian Steppe video that I’ll do eventually. Thanks for watching!
Great content! Don't ever lose your accent. I'm loving just waiting for the hard "G" to come out, it's neither constant nor consistent and I love it.
It’s called having a cold.
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.
Time Team did a show on the slide and the tsunami went across the Atlantic, broke the ice wall holding Canada's inland sea, and that water came back to fully cover Dogglerland.
Thank you so much for your videos. The content and presentation is beyond excellent. Your narration is very pleasant.
For once, it's so refreshing to watch a video with someone narrating the story in perfect English..! Thank you.
History Time
Thanks for all you do. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.
Hi Pete. This was an excellent documentary! I'm looking forward to your future ones.
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.
Fascinating that a vast landmass slipped beneath the waves entirely unrecorded. For thousands of years no one had any idea.
There were millions of recordings. Still missing at sea.
Who would have recorded it before writing was invented?
Dogger is Middle Dutch (older than what is spoken today) and refers to a sort of ship that was used by certain fishermen.
I think I watched this video about 50 times, this is fascinating.
Fantastic work! I learned so much, thank you!
Could you make more documentary about prehistoric times?
Your docs are the firsts i see that focus on the last hunter-gatherer's pov, usually it's all about the first farmers.
Ps: little typo with Dryas being Dyras
I have read about and watched tv programmes and videos about doggerland ever since I 1st read about the mesolithic spear head fished up there. Still love hearing about it and imagining life there before it flooded.
Found this documentary channel recently and i'm on marathon documentary. Such a great channel and i'm sure this channel will grow bigger and bigger. Keep it up!
3:44 talk about finding a barbed spear point in an ocean peat stack...
or something along those lines...
when i had my genes done it said i was from doggerland and scandinavia but my grandfathers are english sounds like my family fits right in. thank yew
Who knew the thames and the rhine are actually the same river. Great stuff, keep it up!
Makes you wonder whether some of the ancient flood myths were partly inspired by places like Doggerland
The stories of the floods are local accounts of far more universal events. We are still beholden to British gradualism, which is to say, the hatred of revolution by the elites.
I love your documentaries. You go straight to business and focus on what's important - the history.
Normally I'd have to sit through 15 dull minutes of introduction of the narrator, and some pointless thought experiment to warm up before the actual content is shown.
I Love how Pete has a devious nature to his voice. Like he’s telling a bunch of little kids a ghost story around a campfire
I find myself leaning into a Metaphorical fire 🔥 😂
