- The idea of a drowned land lost to the ages may seem completely out of mythology, but reality can be as strange as fiction. As well, these places were rich in incredible ecosystems from ancient times.

One interesting lost landmass I’ve found would be Middle Jurassic Florida. Not only was most of the northern part of the state above water as the early Atlantic opened, but the southern tip of the state, Florida Keys, and a sizable portion of the land from the Florida continental shelf were all above water and were all isolated from the rest of the continents. The island appears to have been of comparable size to that of Hatzeg Island. I can only imagine how many different species must have arisen from this unique environment. Before the waves claimed all of the animals that lived there. I doubt we will ever find any fossils of this truly lost landmass, especially since the only Triassic and Jurassic rock in Florida are part basement rock layer of the north eastern side of the state, also known as the peninsular arch.
I wonder how Florida became populated by tropical species like alligators. Did they cross the sea, or go the long way round through Mexico?
@@LimeyLassen well alligatoroids had been in North America since the Paleocene, and the oldest species of Alligator is from Miocene North America, the two species of alligator from China and Southeast Asia are the exception to their range not the rule.
@@beedrillbot121 That's interesting because tapirs have a similarly disjointed range.
if we havnt found jurassic aged rocks except in north eastern florida what are you basing your statements about the keys at that time on?
@@Ddub1083 there is a map of the globe made by Dinosaur Pictures org, setting it to 170 MYA you’ll see what I was talking about. Though the map shown of Middle Jurassic North America by this person: czcams.com/video/y2Qqslr5ytY/video.htmlsi=nV5HAaWZVHKLm8eO does not feature an island of any kind. So for all I know the map made by Dinosaur Pictures . Org may be wrong.
The thought of ancient humans sending us a message about what life looked like is really beautiful. Great video!
Good job, dude. Berengia is THAT place.
It would be interesting if you made a video called like "Fossils Lost To TIme" or somthing like that where you would talk about fossils that have been documented but no longer seem to exist like the S. aegyptiacus that was blown up during WW2, the maraapunisaurus fossil that people think disintegrated, or other possibly more ancient examples of people discovering fossils that are now lost to history.
How about some of the hominin specimens from China that were blown up by the Japanese navy during ww2?
Try make it yourself, it’s a good idea:)
@@xRhamnusia Thanks man. I am just worried that I dont have the time.
Isn't there one important human skull fossil that sank to the sea floor ?
@user-lq4ct6dr5m You're right, it's an unfortunate when valuable treasures are lost!! ❤
Wrangel Island, northwest of that Bering landmass, had last known mammoth population. In fact they were alive long after the pyramids were built.
They were also horrifically inbred.
Weren't they also pygmies?

Very endogamic
One of the least talked about lost land bridges is the one between India and Sri Lanka. It's a really interesting feature of the last ice age that deserves more attention.
Im from Sri Lanka .And our archeologist found hippo teeths ,lion jaws and some kind of elephant skulls from here .the thing is hippos and lions are non native animals to sri lanka .also the elephant skulls found not similar to sri lankan elephant .also we found early humans skeletons . The so called island was not an island in past .
Also there is a rumor between our people big part of my country is under ocean
Yup, that's a bridge, but the Beringia was larger in square milage than England, that's not a bridge, it's land.
@@daimonhellstorm1763 they also found tiger bones to. It's very interesting that there are no tigers in Sri Lanka today. Only leopards were able to survive once Sri Lanka became an island. No one knows exactly why tigers went extinct in Sri Lanka about 14,000 years ago.
The land bridge existed in some capacity until the medieval period
@@liamnacinovich8232 that's true. Portions of the land bridge existed at least intermittently up until just a thousand years ago. It's a very interesting geological structure.
Just fyi, the author Stephen Baxter wrote a book set in the later days of Doggerland. It's called Stone Spring. Here's the Wiki blurb...
Stone Spring is a 2010 science fiction novel by British writer Stephen Baxter. It is set in prehistoric Doggerland (renamed "Northland" in the novel) and focuses on the attempts of Northland's inhabitants to adapt to the rising sea levels slowly eroding Northland's coastline. It is the first part of a trilogy detailing an alternate history in which human efforts were able to prevent Doggerland from being flooded.
A game or movie/tv show set there could be really cool.
I'd love to see you do a video connecting mythological creatures with ancient fauna, and how ancestral memories may have inspired modern fantasy concepts (like goblins/monkeys, dragons/monitor lizards, etc).
this would be so cool!
This video was extra cozy, and I learned some new things to go with the pleasant vibe! Really, what more can you ask for from a creator?
I hope you keep the passion for your channel rolling for a good long while, because I adore it.
What a well written, inspiring, and heartfelt comment @BigBoobsMcGoo 😌👍
Honestly, you could make a video about prehistoric animals we know the appearance of! From the Pleistocene Cave Lion, Irish Elk, Wooly Rhino and others to Mezosoic Dinosaurs like Sinosauropteryx and Psittacosaurus!
Highly, highly recommend visiting the Beringia Centre in Whitehorse if you're ever out that way. They got a mummified wolf pup! And a mummified North American horse, which is extra cool.
I've lived in southern B.C./Alberta my whole life; I've always wanted to head north to visit the territories. I'll have to write this down, for whenever that may happen! (It's difficult without a vehicle, especially with how expensive air travel is in this country...)
@@LittleWhiteRabbitBAir North is actually pretty good; I want to say it was $350 round-trip with no extra luggage charge. I don't drive and that was fine around Whitehorse because it's a pretty small city you can navigate on foot. But I did have to snag a ride to/from Dawson City
@@goodbyesheeshaI'll have to look into it!
You could talk about anything and I'd listen enthusiastically. Your voice and speech pattern are soothing as well as attention keeping and it creates such an amazing vibe.
Minor critique: recent archeological data has significantly challenged the beringia standstill hypothesis. We have now multiple archeological sites in the New World dating back over 20 thousand years, most notably a recently found set of human footprints in White Sands National Park which dates back to 21,000 to 23,000 years ago. The Beringia Standstill was likely true to some extent, but now we have convincing evidence that humans did not simply stay there. They likely used boats to travel along the coastlines in order to get past the glaciers. This is all very recent and subject to constant change, the footprints I talked about were most recently dated earlier this year, which is the only reason why we are any degree of certain they are that old.
So, the beringia was inhabited long term, and sent out colonists, that does not sound like a standstill population. That term is prejudicial anyways. Stability means the same thing. Sooooo, was Europe any better at responsible stewardship of a healthy, vibrant predator prey driven ecology that thrived right up until Europe infested the rest of the world?
Man it would've been great if you were able to use pictures of fossils from Bandung Geological Museum. That place houses a lot of the fossil animals that were endemic here, including Megalochelys.
its interesting how the lions in Beringia were maneless, and native americans are beardless too! (most of them) I dont really know if there is a relation in that but i think about that a lot
Your uploads make my day man. Truly a unique and original channel and I love your sense of humor. Keep it up!
It's always a treat when you upload. Banger video like usual.
Now this is an epic gamer moment. My man liked my comment. Big W
Doggerland "sadly enough, no dogs"... haha that got a chuckle outta me
That quest master name drop, wow. The Budget Museum is the goated Dungeon Synth science channel, can't wait for the ecology of medieval Germany video with a Depressive Silence cameo.
There's something romantic about our early ancestors leaving a record of what they saw that we can use to inform our understanding of the species that did not survive our ascent.
loved the dungeonsynth music in the background! really nice
Nothing makes me more excited then when budget museum uploads.
it's quite amazing how not only there are so many familiar faces on these islands, but how far apart they are, from africa, to indonesia and north america the elephant family had quite a reign
Great video! I'd love to hear you talk about Sahul as well! An interesting exchange of marsupials and placentals!
me seeing the video and just saying over and over in my head "doggerland... doggerland... doggerland..." until it came up, then actually cheering out loud
Dude, this is some of the best content in CZcams. Its educational but not pretentious and I appreciate that.
I think it's only this channel (and trey the explainer) that I authentically gasp when I see there is a new video. The corny jokes have me cackling like I do after meeting with an old friend after too long. Keep it up man, your content is golden.
I'm grateful to you for this channel. Thank you for everything you do ❤
Can't believe this video was only 18 seconds long. Great job
Your videos are so great and informative I look forward to every release!
Love learning about the lost!
Epic video thank you, merry Christmas and a happy new year
Just today I was wondering about sundaland. Great video
This was an incredibly interesting video that definitely sent me down a delightful research rabbit hole.. thanks for the great content
Nice to see a new upload after two months of waiting.
thank u for yet another banger mr. the budget museum
Thank you for covering this :)
I absolutely love your narration.

The perennial grasses can be classified as either C3 or C4 plants. These terms refer to the different pathways that plants use to capture carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. All species have the more primitive C3 pathway, but the additional C4 pathway evolved in species in the wet and dry tropics. The first product of carbon fixation in C3 plants involves a 3-carbon molecule, whilst C4 plants initially produce a 4-carbon molecule that then enters the C3 cycle. Why are these differences important?
These differences are important because the two pathways are also associated with different growth requirements. C3 plants are adapted to cool season establishment and growth in either wet or dry environments. On the other hand, C4 plants are more adapted to warm or hot seasonal conditions under moist or dry environments. A feature of C3 grasses is their greater tolerance of frost compared to C4 grasses. C3 species also tend to generate less bulk than C4 species; however, feed quality is often higher than C4 grasses.
Excellent video! Keep up the great work.
One of my greatest achivments in life was that there was a period in my life, where I told people I met online, that I was from Doggerland and managed to convince some people it was still a real place, using map pictures of it being an island outside the UK..
DOGGERLANDTIS
I knew there was a land bridge but I never knew it was that thick
The music at the end was fantastic and I think you should use it more. Great video as usual!
specifically during the beginning of the sundaland bit
Its dungeon synth artist Quest Master, he linked their page in the description. Totally check them out!
This video was so interesting! Thank you Budget Museum!
I would argue that those are not the only parties calling for these project expansions.
There have been some groundbreaking results in related fields that may expand if they scale.
Awesome video dude ❤
I would love to see and hear more about this time period.
An opposite force at play during Pleistocene glaciation was the increased weight resting on the Earth crust. This resulted in a rise of ocean levels, which significantly counteracted receding levels due to decreased sea water. Upon and after thawing of inlandsises, a secondary isostatic decrease of sea levels occurred as a result of the release of weight over continental surfaces, leading to modern shorelines.
A well-known example is Champlain Sea and other continental bodies of water that formed upon glacier thawing in the Midwest. These bodies of water disappeared largely as a result of isostatic readjustment.
I love the idea of using Shaqs as measuring units
Yeah I keep thinking about what life lived on Zealandia and Antarctica when it was warmer and somewhat closer to the equator
I'm on the same page, I just wish I could bring Sunderland, the Steppes and Syria together. That would bring together the land, the people and the story
Personally I'd like to see what the rl Antartic was like during the Eras mentioned in H.P. Lovecraft's "At The Mountains of Madness."
Man going back to your first video your voice has changed a LOT!
Such unique places sadly lost to time
Hey man, kinda random but is there another link for the music? Love the background stuff. Great video btw!
Evidence of the mega tsunami in the north sea c.6200BCE caused by the Storegga slide has been found 50 miles inland in Scotland. Its also thought that the sea level rise that partially submerged Doggerland and cut Britain off from the continent came quite quickly around the same time as lake Agassis (have i spelled that right?) Burst its ice dam flooding into the Atlantic and this caused a sudden sea level rise making Britain an island. I live in east Anglia and often look out over the water thinking of the lost land that lies not that far under rhe surface, were the water to drop 20m Doggerland would start to reemerge, the north sea is actually pretty shallow as seas go.
Fantastic video as always!! :) 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ❤️💖❤️💖
I'd love to see a video about the La Brea tar pits.
I strongly relate with the tiny round hippo
This video should basically be called "Eurasia used to have less islands".
Being in the Pacific ring of fire may have also helped Beringia remain glacier free.
Whoever makes your music is a Dungeon Synth hyper Chad!
I am binging this channel. I never took an interest in this subject, but I visited the Natural History Museum in London and it sparked something in me. I know nothing about the topic, but if The Budget Museum would make a comprehensive video, I would definetly enjoy it ;)
Edit: by comprehensive I mean like and overview, introductory, beginner-oriented video.
I am actually working on something like this, but not on this channel. Stay tuned!
@@TheBudgetMuseum Great! Keep up the good work
Well done !
This video was amazing, and I THOUGHT I heard Dungeon Synth in the background.
Nah you should’ve made this video longer this was a banger
Thought it was an ice bridge aswell
Hey hes back.
also could you make a video on nz fauna of pehistoric times
Victoria Australian coastline ( The great ocean road ) is a natural huge cliff drop along the southern coast that was once adjoining Antartica you can find Megalodon size, teeth and other marine fossils extruding out of the cliff tops. When you stand on the beach below, you cannot reach them. A cliff is a few hundred feet high in places.
I do love learning more about Ice Age landscapes.
I like using the very scientific measurement of shaqs can we please keep doing that thank you.
This is literally the first time I have ever seen someone use the words "Younger Dryas" not in the context of ancient lost super-civilization woowoo
Could you do a video on the legendary wooly dogs of the pacific northwest?
I'm from this region and I find nobody knows about this coastal dog
I thought that music was familiar. I love dungeon synth and Quest Master.
Could u make a video about plants? Or does anyone have recommendations where to learn more about them, I want to be a plant head.
I'm going to request a part two for this video
According to the contrast between it's archeological record and its being populated only by flying and swimming families, New Zealand went fully under water for some million years.
bro really slipped antediluvian into the script and thought we wouldnt notice.
An interesting sequel to this video would be lost oceans/seas like the one that cut the U.S. in half
This brings a good question to mind.
How much water do I have to suck in order to bring back this landmass?
Early humans, large hairy creatures, land slowly being swallowed up my the ocean….seems like Sundaland and Sunderland share more than just a name
Come for the paleontology, stay for the Dungeon Synth soundtrack (I have this album on tape)
Yaaay Budget Museum uploaded😊
Doggerland is so cool.
This was a cool video. I really enjoyed the topic. Would love to hear you talk about the whack-ass that is Lemuria.
Lol I love how u measure the antlers and horn length by shaq 😂
I liked this video before even watching it
Quest Master!!???? On the budget museum CZcams channel? Fuck yeah
What's the name of the track that starts like 2:30 or so? Great work as always.
He linked the artist in the description. I love dungeon synth
This is where I’m goin if if I get a Time Machine
Epic
help me steppe-bison, im stuck behind a glacier
I can't express how saddened and nostalgic I felt while you were describing the mammoth step and it's ecosystem. I'm on the verge of tears and I don't even know why. It feels like it was the home I was supposed to be born into, and never got the chance to experience. I was born in a rural area and I've always had a love and passion for the outdoors, wildlife, and nature, and that area in that period is like the pinnacle of greatness for those passions I've held for my entire life. I wish I could go back in time and be able to experience what all my distant native american ancestors got to experience during that era. If reincarnation exists, I hope I get to be born there even if I only live to be 6 years old.
Beringia may not have been "cloudless". It still borders the Pacific Ocean, after all, and would have had some considerable precipitation due to that. Field of lush grass and flowers survive very well in modern tundra conditions, as I witnessed after ~4 years along the Bering Sea coast. During my time there I got to walk up to those herds [ 7:29] of Walrus, which are fine creatures weighing in up to 3,000 lbs.
This is true: Beringia might have been on average wetter or swampier than the rest of the mammoth steppe.
Very interesting to hear of your travels to the tundra!
Upload more, brotha.
Shaq should become a standard unit of measurement.
Great Wave of Doglantis
Yo! Sickkk video :)
More like NICE bridge
Stegodon IS a True Elephant genus, BUT an ARHAIC elephant.
Not a all Modern elephant because being not part of the current, extant and modrn family.
Hence justly we call justly the three extants species and their close extinct relatives Modern elephants.
This vernacular term being base just on the fact that they survived to our current days, while the others not and justly why we call them Archaic, because they didn't survived to our days.
If Stegodontid have survived to modern days, they would be also called equally as Modern elephants as well, not Archaic.
It's like between our own human species and the others, even very close, extinct humans species.
Our species is called Modern human just because it is the only species to reach modern times, while the others, its mother, sister and more older species are called Archaic human because they don't survived to modern times.
Speaking of human btw, Homo sapiens, our species, appeared a very good time after Homo erectus became extinct.
So the moment you said that modern humans, our species replace homo erectus is innacurate.
shaq measurements took me out ☠️
