You are doing great work. I love to watch.
Hard to top this, great program. 👍
Well done you should have a much larger audience!

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 great, do you search alot? Saving historical artifacts is a great hobby, BOL my friend.
@@kickapootrackers7255 When I have time i do yes. It's a fascinating hobby. Specially if you find something that has never found before.
Sounds like a fun activity for a day. What are good spots to search at and do you need any gear?
Groetjes.
It's our land of myth
Sounds amazing! I'd be fascinated too.
Leads you to wonder how much history is under the waves that we have no idea about
That they don't tell us about ....
@@Original-q11 Entire peoples and potential civilizations lost forever beneath the sea in places as diverse as Doggerland, Sundaland, and more. All gone forever. Even more shocking is evidence of such civilizations may very well exist, but is deliberately kept hidden by those with sinister agendas.
@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.
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.
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.

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?

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!!
Boats might have holes, but surely Doughnutland doesn't!??!
Damn, we're in a jam now!!
Brian Lanning
I read the comments and think that all 3 have holes in them! Ba Bum!
"Aaargh! Batten down the screen doors, matey!"
Totally underrated comment!
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.
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.
underrated comment--but so true! He really packs stuff in! Makes me want to dust off those old library books!
I would worry if I were aboard a boat named ‘The Colander’
No worries just step off the boat before it’s launched.
Jeez this made e laugh
😂👍
It’s ‘C O L I N D A’ said with an (northern ?Midlands?) English accent.
But it does sound like Colinder.
The Royal Sieve or the Dutch Cheese. ?
One of the best documentaries on CZcams. 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!
Wow, I didn't even realize this wasn't a professional tv documentary until the end. You are amazing!
Agree
Interestingly, descendants of the Dogger people still exist in the UK. They inhabit carparks late at night.
Yeah those doggers. Always walking their dogs. At night.

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.
Who else would feel Uneasy about going to sea in a boat called "The colander"?
Someone clearly had an awesome sense of humour! 😂

Um... never encountered other accents before, have we?
A museum in hull has a small carving of a boat with peg like people in it, they say it's from doggerland, it's fascinating!
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
@@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
It's amazing that I could live this long and never have heard of Doggerland.
Thanks for ending that!
Thanks for watching! It’s a great subject
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.
To think about the clear night skies, deadening silence and utterly unspoiled vast continents of pure nature is mesmerizing
My goodness.. Your documentaries are absolutely brilliant!! Probably my favorite channel now. Thank you so much for all your hard work! Much respect and admiration from Ohio!

@@CB-vt3mx 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....
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 brilliant documentaries!!! I've just subscribed and look forward to seeing all of your work!
That map you showed of the Thames and Rhine being connected. So strange to see.
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!
It was called the River Channel. True story.
@@timbirch4999 is there some kind of doc on CZcams 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
Many maps to be found on my Pinterest page!
@@giuliom8520 Sure....the earth is not older than 6000 years and flat on top of that maybe?
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.
Yep. Really interesting
Wow
Yes it says that in the video
Grimsby Fishermen often dredged up pots and timbers,
Malter Dwight It does? Where, please?
Fascinating. How lucky we are to benefit from all that has been learned since Buckland's discovery. The maps are so interesting.
Incredibly thorough especially considering it is only one hour long. Lots if information I have never heard before. Thank you.
I love this stuff. It helps to give perspective to just how quickly and thoroughly our reality can change.
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.

Catterland: *SMIRKS*
OK, now that comment was funny. ;-)

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...

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.
or not ...
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.
@@ianwilkinson4602 Nonono - you must find the ancient civilisations!
@@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.
Just looked it up in my 'Ethymologisch Woordenboek': a dogger is a fisherman of specifically codfish. The old Dutch word for codfish is dogghe.
Thanks for watching!
Being a dogger has a differant meaning here in England.

Dogging....catching dog fish on lead line baited with hooks
Went dogging many times off the North Yorkshire Coast
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.
So good. I’ve heard about Doggerland never really looked into it. Very insightful and even inspiring a bit.
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

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.

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.

Thank you so much for your videos. The content and presentation is beyond excellent. Your narration is very pleasant.
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.
I listen to your voice to go to sleep and end up listening to the entire thing before I can stop.
I can't believe this is a youtube channel and not PBS Nova or Horizon. Fantastic.
The temple of Gobekli Tepe is 12 thousand year's old, so great civilisations did exist in the times of dogger land and many were wiped out by natural disasters.
The remaining survivors of these disasters going on to start again elsewhere in the world hence the similar designs in building's and image's found today in archeology.
I think I saw somewhere that parts of Gobekli Tepe have been found to be 20 thousand years old! It's so fascinating how they buried the whole lot under the earth :)
Excellent documentary Pete, I thoroughly enjoy your work, thank you 😊
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!

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.
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!.
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).
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.

Thank you for your works, I for one appreciate your well researched pieces
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!
Love these videos. I’m always reassured I’m just a blip in time so don’t worry about anything.
Fascinating story! Thank you, Pete. You are one of the best content creators on CZcams. 💕 😘
Very happy to have found your channel. Subscribed while being delighted by your video!
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!!
47:11 Similar settlements have been found outside Copenhagen in the Øresund belt, 6-10 meters below sea level.
Thanks

Thank you all for documenting this fascinating history lesson!
I was so pleased with the intriguing start..
Then discovered your reading list. Bestill my heart. Thank you for quality, enticing works.
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.
Sooo love these programs, lockdowns or no, thanks so much Pete! In the olden days you would have had your own TV series for your explorations, but I guess the internet gives you a bigger audience! Just FYI, the use of the term "era" is quite specific. If I google the "Anglian Era", it comes up with "Anglian Stage". As in the naming of stages or branches in evolutionary trees, geological and archeological time periods have quite specific designations with specific meanings, as I'm sure you know. Best wishes for the wider success of your programs, they have a wide and appreciative audience, great work!

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
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 .....
Any idea where these maps can be found? :)

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
Well the Dutch took some of Doggerland back from the sea.
never thought of it this way, but absolutely true
We should remember the Low Countries, East Anglia et al. face similar concerns for future generations.

And now they're going to construct thousands of wind turbines all over the currently submerged area. To save the planet, supposedly.
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.
what a fascinating documentary. Thank you
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).
I remember subscribing to your channel after watching a video about Grand Prince Árpád a year ago and I watched it again today after a notification from your channel and I can say I didn't like your latest video but your old videos tought me so much about history.Old Anglo-Saxon chronicles,Crusades,Vikings,Seljuks,Kievan Rus,Sviatoslav,Tutush,Scythians,Tzachas,Æthelstan,Bohemond,Ælfred,Spartacus,The Goths in fall of Rome,Norman conquest of Italy,Arab traveller,Zengids and in other channel: Khazars,Magyars, Slavs,Bulgars,Rus from perspective of a medieval Muslim,Turcopoles and more interesting stuff you had I am lazy to write.I liked those videos and learnt many things from them.Thank you
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 .

Fascinating. Absolutely fascinating. Thank you.
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 episode, amazing way to start of 2020! Hope you include lots of stone tools in the next video, the most fascinating part of the stone age imo :)
Great vid, thanks for sharing! Loved the info as much as your accent. "Hogging the coast", "Yorrope" and the K-ding to words ending with "..ng" like "longk", hihi. Enjoyable nonetheless!! I subscribed :)

I like to learn something new every day; thank you for today.
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.
Extraordinary documentary, enjoyed it so much
Fantastic documentary, thanks for making it.
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.
