'Britain's Atlantis' Found Under North Sea

~ The Rebel ~ 2012/07/09 04:13:22

A vast, once-inhabited area that was submerged by the North Sea thousands of
years ago has been discovered by divers working with oil companies and science
teams from several British universities.


The underwater world, being called Doggerland and Britain's Atlantis,
stretched from Scotland to Denmark when Britain was not an island but connected
to the European continent. It was gradually submerged by water between 18,000
B.C. and 5,500 B.C., according to researchers.


"Divers from oil companies have found remains of a 'drowned world' with a
population of tens of thousands, which might have once been the 'real heartland'
of Europe," Britain's Daily Mail reported.


"A team of climatologists, archaeologists, and geophysicists has now mapped
the area using new data from oil companies — and revealed the full extent of a
'lost land' once roamed by mammoths."

    Interesting. It probably sank from the rising sea level in the Global Warming resulting from the Doggerland SUVs.

    Doggerland is a fascinating place if you ever get the chance to speak to some of the archaeologists studying it. During the last ice age, the sea levels were much lwoer meaning Britain was essentially part of mainland Europe. As the ice melted and the sea levels rose, the Atlantic broke through into what is now the North Sea, covering Doggerland. But apparently it was a very popular place for prehistoric man to live due to very favourable conditions that meant when the sea levels rose, a lot of humans were forced to relocate to less favourable areas.

    I guess the oceans were quite low during the ice ages. No telling what hasn't been found yet.

    Oh My! They had global warming then too. And no Al Gore to make money off it?
