- Опубліковано 17 вер 2014
- Homo sapiens evolved over the last million years during which time the climate fluctuated strongly. Ice accumulated and melted again, exposing and flooding the continental shelves - land which was colonised by plants and animals. About 3000 such prehistoric sites with archaeological remains have been found on the sea floor by divers.
Dr Nicholas Flemming is a marine geo-archaeologist from the Institute of Oceanography at the University of Southampton.
Dr Flemming was Director of the British national oceanographic data centre from 1980 till 1987 to take later the position of the chairman of the IODE Committee of the IOC which he occupied till1992. He was Director of EuroGOOS Office and Member of the GOOS Steering Group until 2001.
Dr Flemming's book, co-edited with Amanda M. Evans and Joseph C. Flatman, Prehistoric Archaeology on the Continental Shelf, was published in 2014.
Humanity and a Million Years of Sea Level Change with Dr Nicholas Flemming was recorded live on 16 April 2014.

Wow what a big mistake to say there is no sights off India. There is the bridge to Sri Lanka and a huge city off Dwarka
I found this absolutely fascinating. I recommend people have a look at the work of Randall Carlson. He has some interesting ideas.
Any civilization that is 10k+ years old would be under 400 feet of water. I dunno why that’s so hard to swallow for mainstream academia. Atlantis going under which was a ISLAND isn’t so far fetched when you know sea level rose 400 feet at end of the ice age
Good no-nonsense presentation of proper evidence. Many thanks.
A brilliant presentation, what a life well used, many thanks & I will share it. Keep on going.
Thanks. Quite pleased to find that scholarly work is actually being done in this very important (and interesting) field.
Thank you for your life's work, and for sharing that work with those of us who see it. Thinking that the advances in the past two decades alone can give us such predictable future reality based on observable historical accuracy is mind-numbing.
Fantastic work. Nice to see challenges made to conventional wisdom about early prehistory - and sad that Dr Fleming's work is not more well-known.
brilliant..i could not find the two references you mention for reading xx have you a link?
Great presentation....thank you!
Excellent presentation. thank you.
As a child in the 1980s snorkeling near the beach in the tourist town of benidorm, spain, I found what looks a tear-drop axe-head. I wonder if there are any recorded sites in the area. The spanish coast is full of interesting geography, but i overall i get the impression of very little local interest.
+MonkeyspankO Tends to be the way all over. 'Anything local couldn't possibly be important!'
Fascinating lecture.
@31:10 To answer your question there, Dr. Flemming, the topography has dramatically changed over the past five hundred years - from the Arctic Circle to Antarctica.
Taped with too low a volume to hear the host without GREAT difficulty
These sites provide recreational divers some very interesting possibilities. I'd like to visit some
thank-you. m.
real science, a breath of fresh air where most seem unable to actually think anymore. (just spew the most pushed propaganda). I highly suggest watching this. If you are a Thinking Person.
Sigh... as a civilian and just an interest... I WANT MORE... more stuff like this and more details.... everyone always seems to be in a rush... this was excellent tho...
Volume to low, even maxed out I cant hear the man speak. Edit: never mind, weird flash issue not your problem sorry.
This planet is allot older then what the text books tell us so many lost civilizations and our true origins lost with them.
+DЯews pens Alright. Show us your evidence.
I don't have the golden goose ha Common sense & Logic Mainstream science is bough off to restrict knowledge keeps us in the dark. Every time someone tries to bring the truth out they silence them we don't know where we come from or what our origins are where a lost society and someone wants to keep it that way which is wrong.
+DЯews pens So, you have extensive knowledge and proof of cover-ups. Bring it on.
lol
As I expected, lots of hot air, no facts.
How can you determine the age of the seafloor in relation to its depth?
Who was the person that put together your drawing, could I get an email
24:08 "Australia was never connected to southeast Asia." What about Sundaland?
+InfiniteUniverse88 I assume he means that Sundaland was always partly submerged.
15:10 : with all due respect, is it certain that flint tool wasn't just tossed into the waters at the area?
So climate has been warming for thousands of years. It will get colder one day as well and the water will disappear in to ice.
No one talks about the increase in plant growth which increases food and oxygen percentages!
The remains of shells are located on high mountains. This would indicated that the ocean levels have previously been very high. So one can conclude that the ocean levels increase and decrease, with the changes of atmospheric temperature.
Even the Bible speaks about a rise in sea level.
GraffitiPhysical
Yeah, because when the compilation of religious texts that you call a bible was written, they didn't know about tectonics and upthrusting of mountain ranges.
+GraffitiPhysical Those would be due to orogeny, not to the sea level being thousands of meters above its current levels.
Excellent!
Why do they lie to children......
Some are born to Sweet Delight - Some are born to Endless Night. There is no explanation for evil - or good... Thank your lucky stars if you know right from wrong - as goodness will prevail... eventually
seems professors, scientists, archaeologists have no words in their language called: The Goddess Cultures (pre 2500 bce) and the rest of the world, has moved on light years into her past. but i understand.
Everything depends on the Now... but i don’t know what this means - who could? - beyond the thought that the gift of this mysterious life is a gift of ‘everything wondrous for our awe and praise’... and that we are born to become eternal souls because of The Superstar.
Or - not.
That is the big division between us it seems.
God Bless!
This makes me wonder why Graham Hancock presents only a handful of sites in his work.
Is het not aware of all these other sites?
Has he ever mentioned the work of others?
Seems to me Hancock presents his finds as mainly his own work....
+Arjan Plantinga See which sites this man does NOT mention. These are the sites that would challenge the existing story of human history: cities from before 10000 BC on the continental shelves like in The Gulf of Cambay off the West coast of India.
And of course Hancock mentions work of others. Don't you read books? His latest book contains 58 pages of references.
+Philomaan He did mention some underwater stone walls that were over 10000 years old
few and far between
@@Philomaan yep. And let us not forget Carlson is a mason after all... he has vested interests and beliefs that would guide his research just as anyone else with trappings like his.
We don't have any answers on many things. As we go forward, we learn.
Why don't you get a education in science and give us some answers!?
A million years of sea level change? But humans haven't been around that long. Who could have caused it?
"Homo sapiens evolved over the last million years..."
As earlier in our history, we have to adapt to the sea level changes, or our cities will sooner or later be at the sea floor or under several kilometer thick glaciers.
why would anyone vote this down?
+Nicholas Pearce-Jones because they aren"t smart enough to write a legit post to make their point? Or perhaps they are as lazy as they are dumb!
Because there is lots of evidence that man has been in Central America for well over 200,000 years whereas he gives a figure of 20,000 years. Sorry but I think being out by a factor of at least 10 deserves to be marked down.
That those ruines now are underwater doesnt always mean that the sea level has changed!Land rises and land lowers..
really? What a funny imagination. You presume a sort of continents movement like they are floating on sea. But guess what: they do not....
6-7 glacial eras what could've caused such an ups and downs cycle I don't think earth was hit by giant asteroids over and over every between every several hundred thousand years
Nasha Naufal
When did he mention repeated asteroids? Climate patterns would easily create ice sheet melting and refreezing. Interestingly, England used to be attached to mainland Europe and fishermen regularly sweep up Neanderthal artifacts from there. Plenty of evidence about this also......
WachdByBigBrother I was just extrapolating that the earth can't be hit by asteroids during those times, but if you said climate then why don't we have this great ice age again? Now would be the perfect time to have some depopulation on the planet... just kidding; I bet it must be the Greenhouse effect that's causing us to miss the big freeze this time better build a Noah's Ark soon
Nasha Naufal ...........they dont need a noah's ark soon.......they have an underground seed bank in norway and samples of human dna/sperm can be kept the same way..........they can keep records for all humans on the planet currently on a couple of large computers or maybe even fit them inside something the size of 1 suitcase..............probably it was the same back then with noah as there is no way a ship could be built to hold 2 of everything - absolutely myth to say there was......infact its myth to say the whole planet was flooded too.......we are told what they want us to believe...........there is NO global warming - thats an excuse to take more disposable income out everyones pay packet and keep us as slaves working for the system they have in place.........if they ever find the so called hall of records we will probably find a suitcase lying in the corner with everyones details who lived back then LOL..........history repeats itself.
drop the dead donkey doggerland is roughly between England and Norway
where is my comment you false profit
