MsAnpassad tried to check myself into rehab for that but they laughed I showed them the show since then I have been lining in a palace next to a mighty lake lots of children running carefree women throwing themselves at me food so tasty that....,Hold on time to take meds
Being the first born Canadian of a British family I absolutely adore this show. My family is very specifically from Yorkshire and I have traced my family tree back quite far and i love being able to see what and who and where things are that are part of my heritage. I absolutely love the fact I live in a time we can see all this history come back to life. And what great group of people to watch, very educational and entertaining.
same here. while it is though not fair to the new team, they also do an excellent job, Sir Tony Robinson was just THE presenter for such a series. Not for nothing, and for sure well deserved, he got his title for that. but the most horrifying though amazing story was that of Carenza Lewis. What a lady! - chapeau - !
You should check out the American equivalent. An Ice Age glacial dam. "Mystery of the Megaflood" on PBS's NOVA. It's about the formation of the Scablands.
This American is totally hooked on Time Team! Living in Montana, I enjoyed Tony's series on the American West. I live about 50 miles from the Little Bighorn battlefield where the Sioux/Northern Cheyenne tribes defeated Gen. Custer, so I enjoyed seeing that part of the series. If you haven't seen that series, it is very enjoyable, and I especially enjoyed his interviews with the native Americans very interesting. Here is the link to the 1st episode (it is 2 episodes all together): ua-cam.com/video/R-L43H2Tf2Y/v-deo.html
Looking at that recreation of the 8000 year old lakeside hut,which was occupied for some 400 years, I was struck by the thought that most of what is produced by us is, in the end, noise and want.

Back when I was a devoted fan of Blackadder, I would have never imagined Tony Robinson...aka Baldrick...would eventually become such a superb narrator in what are some very good documentaries. I thoroughly enjoy all of his programs, particularly the Worst Jobs series.
Barnaby ap Robert And what a cunning little twit he was....God, I'd about the floor in laughter whenever Rowan Atkinson would call him an addle-brain twit...
I wish we had an American version of Rowan. Instead we have mindless sitcom with recycled jokes and plot twist you can see from the first 30 seconds of the show.
The way they experimentally built that hut - thatching from the top down, and the reeds sticking up - they are experimentally building the wettest shelter ever.
it's all a load of bollocks... as for that clay wrapped fish, they have shards of clay pots that show they've sat in fires and contain cooking residue.. As if you're going to dig up clay every day to cook some fish haha... makes me laugh. There's a video on here some where of that same women explaining something else on some other show, but she didn't bank on there being an expert in plant meterial, who said to her, no couldn't have been such and such.. that plant wasn't native to this area. I laughed my head off.... her face was a picture!
@@LindaTCornwall People in the Americas still cook food wrapped in leaves and clay. I haven't had the pleasure but they say it makes the most tender and succulent meat they've ever eaten.
The Cornish name for St Michael's Mount is Karrek Loos yn Koos, which translates to grey rock in the woodland, it wasn't until a number of years ago after a serve storm stripped the sand away, that the remains of a submerged forest was found in the whole surrounding area of mounts bay... The trees have since been carbon dated to between 6000 and 4000 years old. Which would suggest that an oral history was passed down for thousands of years between my Cornish ancestors.

Thank you, for a great episode with a valuable education about this tsunami that hit Britain once upon a time. I did know that the North Sea Channel was a tundra once, where people and animals crossed from what's now the European continent, to what's now the east coast of Britain, more or less. On one of our Wadden islands in the North of Holland, there's a museum and educative centre, where this is shown. I enjoyed Phil's reverence for the deer skull object, taking his hat off, haha. But most impressive is what he said about those Mesolithic ancestors, conscious of the existence of the spirit world, intuitively. With the company of a shaman as well, who may have contributed to the shaping of these skull masks.I
Loved time team and still do. Thank goodness for youtube. Love Phil's huge character and passion of human history. Thank you for hours of fascinating! finds and very important stories that we all as a human race should remember and add as much of our history to understand the struggles and wonderful! inventions in order to survive in such harsh times. Any chance of bringing time team back with some of the original casts of course. ❤
I don't know if you have discovered Time Team Official yet, but it's a good part of the old team and they are doing digs! They expect to post to UA-cam sometime in 2022.
I've just spent the last week or two watching your uploads and must send a big thank you. I have most of the programs but missed a good number. You made my day(s). You've done a wonderful job.
Back in the late 70's/early 80's, the "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" skit "THE ANTLER DANCE" MIGHT have had an actual archaeological basis after all. So bloody cool! (Way to go Lorne Michaels!)
There is something theorized that a group of comets hit 12,900 years ago. One in Saginaw Bay in the US, others perhaps in Greenland, maybe South America, maybe Siberia. Wiped out all the biggest animals (megafauna) in North America. Perhaps from ice chunks thrown out by the main impacts. Hundreds of thousands of secondary craters recently found on Lidar imaging in places like North Carolina. I wonder if this is the right time period for the Tsunami's if the dates could be made more exact. Sea level rise would also happen at the same time which ties into other old stories and even the date of Atlantis's destruction.
The comet impact isn't just theorized. It is established science. You can go to the cosmic tusk website and see the peer reviewed literature in the bibliography. All of it. The tsunami from the Norwegian land slide is a completely different event. No point in mixing the two together. The op asked about evidence for the latter in the rest of the Atlantic. And please forget the 12000 year sun nova cycle theory nonsense. Better yet go to the source of it and see for yourself how it ignores anything that doesn't fit the narrative. Douglas Vogt who is pushing it on youtube does nothing but wrap nonsense into videos dismissing and ignoring decades of established science in one slide PPTs. With nothing to back it up other than a CIA cover up fantasy and mental gymnastics. For God's sake the guy claims that any comet forms when a glorified CME blows off the oceans from Earth. A 5 minute read on the Rosetta mission throws his brainfart out and beats it into a pulp.
@B uppy - Also, your cherries have the benefit of 8,000 years of agricultural cross breeding. They are undoubtedly much different that the cherries that these stone-aged people had access to.
Thanks to the whole time team for uplifting the lives of ancient peoples. Too many docs paint their lives as the unending misery- a holdover of 18th and 19th century projection. I'll take the Mesolithic over the 1830s any day
Coastal houses that stood up for 400 years and only were only demolished by a 10 metre high tsunami. When they build houses now, If it lasts 30 years you've been Lucky... You've got to ask yourself..whos in the Stone age, them or us.
You don't have to go that far. Think about Roman bridges that still are in good shape, while concrete bridges we built 50 years ago are about to crumble.
I live near Tarragona in Spain. In the old part of Tarragona the shops and buildings have the original foundations of what was once the Roman circus from over 2000 years ago., they've simply bult on top of them they're so solid.
BEN AVEIGA I live in Cologne/Germany, a city with lots of traces of the Roman buildings. Everything that is left is solid, more solid than what we built during the last 100 years.
We are so retarded as a race, that we can put a man on the moon and send a robot to mars, but we can't build a damn building that stands up for more than half a century..we are doomed..
A few years ago, researchers discovered sonar evidence of the collapsed or washed out land bridge in the English channel. They speculated this tsunami may have been what did it. (or you may already know this by now)
Very interesting progam about Doggerland, which on it's eastern part was hooked up with Jutland. The tsunami must have affected Danes a lot also. However - I haven't seen any Danish programs about it. Also interesting to learn that you can actually use soap-weed as soap. I thought it got the name because of the sweat smelling flowers. I have had some in my garden for years and worked very hard to prevent them from spreading too much. They spread very quickly.
Or attach a deer skin to drape over himself. Masking the hunters scent whilst he mimics the prey to approach within striking distance. We'll never know.
On tsunami's. I recall reading about a threat posed by a huge unstable section of rock on/of the volcanic Gran Canaria's, which if & when it dislodged & slid into the Atlantic would displace a large volume of water causing a massive series of tsunamis, which within hours would reach the eastern seaboard of the Americas & ricochette a few times across that stretch of ocean thereby affecting the western coasts of the British isles, Europe & the African continent. Perhaps this channel could look into this......
WHY is there is no mention of Isostatic upheaval from the retreating ice shelf? The very cause of the underwater land slide and earth quakes in the first place?
@@ianrutherford878 Hmmm. I missed this statement but mostly by the context that this upheaval happened gradully vs. Rapidly (even catastrophically). Comes back to the uniforitarianism view is largely represented while the caveat of how and why the change happened so rapidly. Is difficult to represent without its chronological context. Thats really the part that could have been elaborated further. Not to nitpick. Still very good and interesting work though. Much credit to TR.
@@patalbor3507 I lived in Finland for a while.The rising land after the retreating ice is something that is very visible in the score marks on exposed rock and its rate is 'displayed' with markers and signs in at least one city. TR and his co producers sell TT with drama and sensation and a kind of obsessive tunnel vision.The tsunami and his imaginings of 'the problem'!!! facing Doggerlanders suited the format more than other factors..
The peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, were in the Mesolithic when Capt Cook arrived in the 1770's. The Haida and other Nations, lived in wooden houses as big as any in England.
Absolutely. I think there are a lot of parallels between northern Europe during the neolithic and even the Bronze Age and American Indians. With similar climates and similar plants and animals, they developed similar technologies and similar cultures.
christosvoskresye It's interesting to compare the Queen Charlotte Islands and Japan. A few environmental differences and some cultural ones, caused quite different cultural developments.
geezzerboy I suppose "some cultural ones" means the existence of China nearby? That is not a small difference! Or maybe you are thinking of the Ainu, who were in Japan before the people we think of as "Japanese" arrived? I'm not sure it's really correct to think of Japan under the Ainu as Japan, though, any more than it is to think of a big chunk of North America before Columbus as the USA, or Asia Minor before the fall of Constantinople as Turkey.
Pre shaped needles are already existing in a deers leg. All modern deer have lost portions of the lateral metacarpal bones (think of your ulna and radius bones, and imagine if you only have a 2" sliver of you ulna above the wrist, etc). This is because of evolutional morphology. In America is there is a sliver of bone on lower leg, front, called distal remenant of the metacarpal. And in Europe is located on the upper limb, called the proximal remnant of the lateral metacarpal. The reason I mention this because it took very little time to make these needles, unlike the estimate in the program. I know this because I'm from a Reservation, and we removed these bones quickly from a fresh kill, the bones would be fresh and "wet", then they were chewed (in our mouth) to remove a sinew sheath, then drilled out easily (we used a steel triangle in wood spindle, but flint would be just as fast). The tip was left unsharp, and a little blunt, because if you sharpen it, it could fracture while sewing, the needle does not make the hole, like modern needles. Old needles just guided the thread, and a hand awl was used for punching holes, made from fish teeth, sewn into the palm of a glove. Now, later I left the Reservation, got an undergrad in biology, hence the technical terms. There, now i feel better.
Now that the Younger Dryas event is becoming better understood there are suggestions that the people of the Mesolithic period were descendants of survivors trying to recreate civilisations that had been lost in that earlier cataclysm. This means that although their tools were simple their dreams were not. So not hunter gatherers except under duress and all the while dreaming of a return to organised society. Their way of life perhaps does not reflect an emergence from a more animal like stage to a more modern lifestyle but rather reflects their preexisting knowledge of what humans could aspire to. Well it's a thought.
@Phil Wheadon - If the Younger Dryas Event occurred about 12,000 years ago and this event was 8,000 years ago, that is one huge gap. Stabilization must have occurred well before that.
Nobody educated thinks that. Graham hancock is not only wrong but actively lying to make a book. Bc he's a writer. And his son works at Netflix. Any point he makes van be quickly proven wrong or a lie in a 5 second Google and I challenge you to offer any of his fake evidence and I will bust it wide open
As a species, we love living next to water. There's anthropoloģical reasons for that, leading to the growth of the human brain. Unfortunately, our connection to coast lines has left us open to the dangers from the water: tsunamis and severe storms and floods.
Happy New year to Meso & Neo enthusiasts in 2023, That decade really flew by quickly, I'm starting to feel like a meso fossil myself at 70. Just love the history of British Isles & surrounding area of the euro northlands the Stone Age episodes &.cheers to all Craig Harald a mestizo-norseman from Death Valley California.
There are a few submerged tree stumps to be seen at extreme low tides, on the N. shore of the Forth, just E. of the rail bridge. Inverkeithing area. I never seen any mention of them anywhere. Thought they might have been beech. (Not sure why: Long time ago'80's.)
Love this episode. Is there any evidence that their homes were actually mud daub? Sure seems like people and communities were more settled, organized, and industrious than previously thought. Fascinating, does this not imply much more about the folks that came after them? Knowledge and organizational skills existant perhaps?
We tend to think that stone age people weren't very bright etc. Etc.etc. how wrong we have been and how wonderful to have this series to widen our knowledge.
In the aftermath of this the Britons started building hillfort settlements. Previously it made sense to build settlements near to waterways and the coast. After this the fear of future large flooding prompted the latter stone age and bronze age populace to build hilltop settlements with embanked defences (it makes even a strong uphill surge abate if it has to flow up and over extra embankments that cause it to backlash on itself..)
@@mouthpiece200 as in, so the native american tribes who have an oral history that goes back to them first entering the Americas across the icy Bering straits is "jumbled and lost" ...?
Always amazed at how Hunter-Gatherers are considered primitive! You have to be an expert to survive and also know where to be at what time of the year to gather and of course store what you have found to survive the winter! So it is not really that surprising that such communities had a base to operate from. All the major edifices of the ancient world required a communal rather than an individual effort. As for the antler headdress, I think she had it upside down. A few years ago a group of Tibetan monks came to stone henge and did a series of dances including some dressed as animals it sent a shiver down my spine as the dance seemed timeless and so relevant as Deer, Bear and other creatures cavorted around to drums and wind instruments!
You ought to check out the band Heilung, if you liked that. They did a live show called 'Lifa' that you can find on UA-cam and their music is very much like what you are describing.
I smile as you describe a HOUSE, we call a teepee. The First Nation people left stone outlines for their homes (creating circles) and they formed communities. The coverings for the teepees were buffalo skins (you didnt identify your skins used), and while there were hunter gatherer communities, there were communities who built canoes, framed community burial areas, etc. Some groups mined copper around the great lakes, and literally shipped their ore and products to Europe and south to Florida.... 8,000 yrs.... really??? We have the MOUND builders with irrigation accompanied by crop growing.... they used raw ore to make helmets, knives, swords, breast plates, etc.
Immanuel Velikovsky's books "Earth in Upheaval" and "Worlds in Collision" theorize that many such tsunamis occurred around the world..very interesting reading for out-of-the-box thinkers..
The marine geologist pronounces the Norwegian slides wrong. It's the Storegga Slides, pronounced stor-egga, meaning big ledge, and there were three of them about approximately 6225-6170 BC. Still not clear to me how their timing was dated so precisely...
This is one of the best documentaries I've seen on the Mesolithic.💕
Over here in the Americas.

BEN AVEIGA I live in Cologne/Germany, a city with lots of traces of the Roman buildings. Everything that is left is solid, more solid than what we built during the last 100 years.
We are so retarded as a race, that we can put a man on the moon and send a robot to mars, but we can't build a damn building that stands up for more than half a century..we are doomed..
BEN AVEIGA them
This time team special confirms what I thought of ancient people. They weren't as ancient as we think they were.
Thanks. I love this program.
Excellent episode time team thank you all
Thank you for this. I had never heard of this. Just bits and pieces that didn’t connect
Excellent Documentary,....worthy of watching
Thank you!!! I loved this episode!!!😍❤❤
A few years ago, researchers discovered sonar evidence of the collapsed or washed out land bridge in the English channel. They speculated this tsunami may have been what did it. (or you may already know this by now)
Great program ty
Very interesting progam about Doggerland, which on it's eastern part was hooked up with Jutland.
The tsunami must have affected Danes a lot also. However - I haven't seen any Danish programs about it.
Also interesting to learn that you can actually use soap-weed as soap.
I thought it got the name because of the sweat smelling flowers.
I have had some in my garden for years and worked very hard to prevent them from spreading too much.
They spread very quickly.
great show and information/ thank you
Could it be possible for the deer skull hole used for straps to tie the thing the head?
Or attach a deer skin to drape over himself. Masking the hunters scent whilst he mimics the prey to approach within striking distance. We'll never know.
That drawing of the pagan with drum-his headpiece with antlers had two holes in it like the antler sets shown!
...deer me, thats true.
@@hellonwheels6887 Which if you think about it probably means that ritual was thousands of years old even by the time that drawing had been done.
Tony is great 👍 on these history shows
so funny that he flies about in a Robinson heli for this bit (;-)
So much history. And not just a rehash! Civilizations have risen and fallen and it's all beyond our control.
The didn't have Progressive Liberals to save them. Lol
@@clintonmiller1698 - We do now.
I had not heard of this. My eyes are open ! Thank You. Thank You.
On tsunami's. I recall reading about a threat posed by a huge unstable section of rock on/of the volcanic Gran Canaria's, which if & when it dislodged & slid into the Atlantic would displace a large volume of water causing a massive series of tsunamis, which within hours would reach the eastern seaboard of the Americas & ricochette a few times across that stretch of ocean thereby affecting the western coasts of the British isles, Europe & the African continent. Perhaps this channel could look into this......
Similar situation on the south side of the Big Island of Hawaii.
Awww, I love Phil! Too bad for you, you're missing many of the good bits.
That was us, no smarter, no dumber. They watched the sky at night like we watch UA-cam.
This is so cool just learned something new many thanks.
Fascinating !!
Really interesting you all are so smart to find this stuff.
WHY is there is no mention of Isostatic upheaval from the retreating ice shelf? The very cause of the underwater land slide and earth quakes in the first place?
You mean the bit where TR says ....'end of the Ice age...major upheaval...Earth's crust was creaking and uplifting'27 minutes?
@@ianrutherford878 Hmmm. I missed this statement but mostly by the context that this upheaval happened gradully vs. Rapidly (even catastrophically). Comes back to the uniforitarianism view is largely represented while the caveat of how and why the change happened so rapidly. Is difficult to represent without its chronological context. Thats really the part that could have been elaborated further. Not to nitpick. Still very good and interesting work though. Much credit to TR.
@@patalbor3507 I lived in Finland for a while.The rising land after the retreating ice is something that is very visible in the score marks on exposed rock and its rate is 'displayed' with markers and signs in at least one city.
TR and his co producers sell TT with drama and sensation and a kind of obsessive tunnel vision.The tsunami and his imaginings of 'the problem'!!! facing Doggerlanders suited the format more than other factors..
The peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, were in the Mesolithic when Capt Cook arrived in the 1770's. The Haida and other Nations, lived in wooden houses as big as any in England.
Absolutely. I think there are a lot of parallels between northern Europe during the neolithic and even the Bronze Age and American Indians. With similar climates and similar plants and animals, they developed similar technologies and similar cultures.
christosvoskresye It's interesting to compare the Queen Charlotte Islands and Japan. A few environmental differences and some cultural ones, caused quite different cultural developments.
geezzerboy
I suppose "some cultural ones" means the existence of China nearby? That is not a small difference! Or maybe you are thinking of the Ainu, who were in Japan before the people we think of as "Japanese" arrived? I'm not sure it's really correct to think of Japan under the Ainu as Japan, though, any more than it is to think of a big chunk of North America before Columbus as the USA, or Asia Minor before the fall of Constantinople as Turkey.
And I find that one hut to be similar to the teepees of the Plains Indians...similar lifestyles as well.
So climate change has been going on for millions of years thank goodness. Change in everything is forever.😀💕
Pre shaped needles are already existing in a deers leg. All modern deer have lost portions of the lateral metacarpal bones (think of your ulna and radius bones, and imagine if you only have a 2" sliver of you ulna above the wrist, etc). This is because of evolutional morphology. In America is there is a sliver of bone on lower leg, front, called distal remenant of the metacarpal. And in Europe is located on the upper limb, called the proximal remnant of the lateral metacarpal. The reason I mention this because it took very little time to make these needles, unlike the estimate in the program. I know this because I'm from a Reservation, and we removed these bones quickly from a fresh kill, the bones would be fresh and "wet", then they were chewed (in our mouth) to remove a sinew sheath, then drilled out easily (we used a steel triangle in wood spindle, but flint would be just as fast). The tip was left unsharp, and a little blunt, because if you sharpen it, it could fracture while sewing, the needle does not make the hole, like modern needles. Old needles just guided the thread, and a hand awl was used for punching holes, made from fish teeth, sewn into the palm of a glove.
Now, later I left the Reservation, got an undergrad in biology, hence the technical terms. There, now i feel better.
Now that the Younger Dryas event is becoming better understood there are suggestions that the people of the Mesolithic period were descendants of survivors trying to recreate civilisations that had been lost in that earlier cataclysm. This means that although their tools were simple their dreams were not. So not hunter gatherers except under duress and all the while dreaming of a return to organised society. Their way of life perhaps does not reflect an emergence from a more animal like stage to a more modern lifestyle but rather reflects their preexisting knowledge of what humans could aspire to. Well it's a thought.
@Phil Wheadon - If the Younger Dryas Event occurred about 12,000 years ago and this event was 8,000 years ago, that is one huge gap. Stabilization must have occurred well before that.
Well said.
Oh, good. Pseudoscience bs.
Nobody educated thinks that. Graham hancock is not only wrong but actively lying to make a book. Bc he's a writer. And his son works at Netflix. Any point he makes van be quickly proven wrong or a lie in a 5 second Google and I challenge you to offer any of his fake evidence and I will bust it wide open
@@ladyflimflampeople are so dumb. It's all nonsense and if people had the mental capacity to look into shit themselves they'd easily find out.
Fascinating program!
As a species, we love living next to water. There's anthropoloģical reasons for that, leading to the growth of the human brain. Unfortunately, our connection to coast lines has left us open to the dangers from the water: tsunamis and severe storms and floods.
Dude that's Baldrick!
Happy New year to Meso & Neo enthusiasts in 2023, That decade really flew by quickly, I'm starting to feel like a meso fossil myself at 70. Just love the history of British Isles & surrounding area of the euro northlands the Stone Age episodes &.cheers to all Craig Harald a mestizo-norseman from Death Valley California.
Rest In Peace Mick Aston
First Time Team episode I watched, I think!
Seems like others should have been mentioned in the credits if their input was significant. Professor Nicky Milner of York University for example.
Awesome channel.
You got yourself new subscriber and a thumps up.
Awesome video with the best narrator
I am so fascinated by Doggerland :) This is my happy-place viewing.
Ah sweet, time team episodes I haven’t discovered yet!
My maternal grandmother's family is from the Swindon, Yorkshire area -- I wonder if any of my ancestors were there!
VERRY INFORATIVE, FOR THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD
There are a few submerged tree stumps to be seen at extreme low tides, on the N. shore of the Forth, just E. of the rail bridge. Inverkeithing area.
I never seen any mention of them anywhere. Thought they might have been beech. (Not sure why: Long time ago'80's.)
time team is great!!
:P
Best time team ive seen
Love this episode. Is there any evidence that their homes were actually mud daub? Sure seems like people and communities were more settled, organized, and industrious than previously thought. Fascinating, does this not imply much more about the folks that came after them? Knowledge and organizational skills existant perhaps?
Enjoy the videos! Love learning about British history!
We tend to think that stone age people weren't very bright etc. Etc.etc. how wrong we have been and how wonderful to have this series to widen our knowledge.
Tony Robinson 💓💓💓💓
In the aftermath of this the Britons started building hillfort settlements. Previously it made sense to build settlements near to waterways and the coast. After this the fear of future large flooding prompted the latter stone age and bronze age populace to build hilltop settlements with embanked defences (it makes even a strong uphill surge abate if it has to flow up and over extra embankments that cause it to backlash on itself..)
With no writing, they probably had very short memories. They probably forgot about these events quite quickly.
@@mouthpiece200 seriously..?
@@joeyfragile2330 Yes seriously. 0ral history gets jumbled and lost quickly.
@@mouthpiece200 as in, so the native american tribes who have an oral history that goes back to them first entering the Americas across the icy Bering straits is "jumbled and lost" ...?
@@joeyfragile2330 No they don't have an oral history that long. What did they pass down from that long ago?
Always amazed at how Hunter-Gatherers are considered primitive! You have to be an expert to survive and also know where to be at what time of the year to gather and of course store what you have found to survive the winter! So it is not really that surprising that such communities had a base to operate from. All the major edifices of the ancient world required a communal rather than an individual effort. As for the antler headdress, I think she had it upside down. A few years ago a group of Tibetan monks came to stone henge and did a series of dances including some dressed as animals it sent a shiver down my spine as the dance seemed timeless and so relevant as Deer, Bear and other creatures cavorted around to drums and wind instruments!
You ought to check out the band Heilung, if you liked that. They did a live show called 'Lifa' that you can find on UA-cam and their music is very much like what you are describing.
@@loud6037 have seen them on utube

That is the Grand Canyon of Scotland, cheers from the US.
Sincerest condolences.
Brilliant
I smile as you describe a HOUSE, we call a teepee. The First Nation people left stone outlines for their homes (creating circles) and they formed communities.
The coverings for the teepees were buffalo skins (you didnt identify your skins used), and while there were hunter gatherer communities, there were communities who built canoes, framed community burial areas, etc. Some groups mined copper around the great lakes, and literally shipped their ore and products to Europe and south to Florida....
8,000 yrs.... really??? We have the MOUND builders with irrigation accompanied by crop growing.... they used raw ore to make helmets, knives, swords, breast plates, etc.
Our ancient ancestors were just as advanced as we are. We would struggle to survive if we could go back 8,000 years in time.
Immanuel Velikovsky's books "Earth in Upheaval" and "Worlds in Collision" theorize that many such tsunamis occurred around the world..very interesting reading for out-of-the-box thinkers..
That's amazing
The marine geologist pronounces the Norwegian slides wrong. It's the Storegga Slides, pronounced stor-egga, meaning big ledge, and there were three of them about approximately 6225-6170 BC. Still not clear to me how their timing was dated so precisely...
for a show about archaeology Time Team sure has some plunging necklines.
100,000 people gone in an instant. What a sobering thought.
