Discover how archaeologists, geologists, and geneticists are piecing together this submerged world: its rivers and forests, its climate change and sea level rise, and the hunter-gatherer cultures who called it home.We’ll explore:• What Doggerland really was (and what it wasn’t)• How Ice Age meltwater and rising seas slowly erased it• Evidence from fishermen’s finds, seafloor mapping, and underwater archaeology• The Storegga Slide megatsunami and the final separation of Britain from Europe• Whether ancient people could have remembered this “lost land” in myths and oral traditionIf you’re curious about prehistoric Europe, climate change in deep time, or how science reconstructs vanished worlds, this is for you.Subscribe for more in‑depth history, archaeology, and ancient world mysteries—new videos every week.Sources:- Doggerland: A Speculative Survey — Vincent Gaffney, Kenneth Thomson, Simon Fitch (eds.)- Mapping Doggerland: The Mesolithic Landscapes of the Southern North Sea — Vince Gaffney, Simon Fitch, David Smith- Postglacial Coastal Evolution of the Dogger Bank Area, North Sea: Glacio-isostatic Controls, Sea-level Change and Landscape Development — Richard J.
