I think there is an element of Doggerland that was not mentioned here. The reason why it was so high over the sealevel was not only because the sea level itself was so much lower, but also because Doggerland was actually way higher than it is today. The heavy ice that formed far north pushed the plate Doggerland was sitting on down in the north, so that the south end in Doggerland rose up. When the ice melted, the weight were reduced and the plate started to rise in the north, while it sank in the south. I just recently saw an article that it is still happening today, with Scottland rising each years, while South England is sinking deeper and deeper.
Good catch. Isostatic compensation of the ice sheet is just displacement straight down under the middle of the continental glacier, but involves some flexure as you get near (and go past) the edge of the ice...picture how a flexible sheet flexes up on the opposite side to compensate the downward side of a bend. Plus, when the ice melted, the mantle under the depressed crust couldn't flow instantly to restore isostatic balance when the weight disappeared in a geologic instant. Since fluid flow in real life, of extremely viscous fluids (10^21 wouldn't be a bad guess, no matter how you want to measure it) is highly dependent on the geometry of the system it's in and of the forces being applied to it, this viscous relaxation is far from over, 12,000 years later, and its effects haven't progressed uniformly or evenly, either. Measuring the current rates of isostatic rebound in areas once covered by glaciers with GPS and other highly sensitive elevation data is actually one of the ways we can ground-truth the effective viscosity of the upper mantle...
When I was younger, I used to tell people I was from Doggerland and when I said it was the place between England and the rest of Europe, they kinda just.. accepted it.. I sometimes even sent screenshots of photos I found.. Good times..

Growing up on the Norfolk coast, Dogger Bank (used to be part of Doggerland, was my playground! Wading across at low tide, sometimes borrowing a boat to get there. Love the place!
I think you may be using a local/colloquial name for a different sandbank, today dogger bank is more than 60 miles out into the North Sea and closer to Hornsea than it is norfolk, its not really wading distance. I'm not saying you didn't wade out and play in the banks but I think you might be misremembering which banks you played on 🤔
Rachel is right. The real Doggersbank is somewhat in the middle of the North sea. From Norfolk you'd be faster to Wade to the Netherlands instead of Doggerbank. But there are way more sandbanks in and around the North sea. I also chuckled a bit because of what you said Lissy.

It's not that unreasonable that oral history could be passed down though 9000 years. Oral tradition used to be much more sophisticated than what it is now in our industrialized world. And there are examples out there. For example, the local indigenous peoples (their name escapes me) knew exactly what caused Oregon's Crater Lake long before modern geologists investigated, even though the cataclysmic eruption was more than 7000 years ago.

Clearing this up: Doggerland is not named because they land was covered by dogs, but rather named Doggerland after the North Sea's Dogger Bank. However, Whether the North Sea's Dogger Bank is named after dogs..... Well, that's for you to figure 😉
It's named after an old Dutch word for a ship (dogger) which was used to fish for cod (dogghe). But perhaps the fishermen took dogs with them for company...?
@@xxAlchemistressxx Since I live in the Netherlands your comment had me intrigued but a quick Google search for dogghe had no useful result (on the first page, let's be honest) and the Dutch wiki article on doggerland, to put it mildly, has little information. Do you have more sources on this?
@@toxyl3915 Found this on the first page of Google - second result. forum.gcaptain.com/t/dutch-merchant-marine-and-agriculture/57105 Scroll down through the article and you'll find Doggerland and Dogghe.

There's a Welsh mythology story called _Cantre'r Gwaelod_ (The Lowland Hundred) about an ancient sunken Welsh town on the edge of what is now Cardigan Bay. It's been classified as a myth but I honestly think it existed. When the tide is low at Cardigan Bay, you can see lots of tree stumps from an ancient forest and these stumps have been tested and have been found to be the right age. When you look at the west coast of Wales, it makes sense. It looks like a chunk has been taken out of it. I live in South Wales, Welsh going back generations to the point where I don't know where my Welshness started, and this story is so fascinating to me. It also breaks my heart bc not only did we possibly lose a land to the ocean, we also had to give up the rest of the British isles when we were invaded. The modern Welsh word for England is "Lloegr" and it apparently means "The Lost Lands." It breaks my heart how much we lost. Anyway, that's a conversation for a different day. I just hope one day we can find evidence of Cantre'r Gwaelod. 😔❤️🤍💚🏴
Especially since the Netherlands reclaimed lost land from the ocean using a series of polders and windmill powered pumps, until the catastrophic flood of the mid-20th century destroyed a huge number of settlements. Though, not given up, there's more land reclaimed now than ever.
In 11,000 years maybe future archeologists will find Doggingland, where 21st century people performed sex acts on complete strangers in car parks, often with voyeurs in tow.
who knows, with it being off the Norfolk coast dogger land could have well been a popular mesolithic dogging site, park up your canoes along the beach and have some fun before continuing onto the continent 😂
I now imagine a natural catastrophe happening in hypothetical Doggingland. Everyone Just keep shagging And the mentioned future archeologists finding those corpses in various interesting positions.
That might be of little interest as Beltane will be widely celebrated and the people will feel sorry for us, to have needed such a variety of compensations for our stunted sex life.
Many cities will end up like Atlantis in 100 years, all of Manhattan would be underwater with just buildings poking up above the water, pretty much all of Florida will disappear
And the only reason is because we humans built our cities on flat land on the sea... and even in river deltas often. Which is very short term thinking :)
Just about everything about Doggerland can about be inferred from northern Europe and Great Britain. The same people who lived there lived in Doggerland. There might be some slight regional differences but it's pretty much the same.
I think its way too difficult to call one place as The Atlantis - i think it was a story based on a repeated memory. A memory that has happened in multiple places, at different points of human history. I think its clear that events like this are not singular.
The Ocean claims so many things! But it's not all that it claims that's true! For the last time - Trump didn't win neither the popular vote - nor the election. So shut up Ocean!

It was obviously around even 100 years ago to those who are aware of Tartaria, mudfloods, etc. JonLevi’s channel is a great place to start. Funny enough I only noticed the missing part between my country and the rest of Europe because of Brexit and the fact that every other European can go on a nice road trip without breaks other than us. Then I discovered Doggerland. I didn’t even know it was a thing. Was not taught at my school. Well, all my suspicion and knowledge went there.
Hey SciShow, I'd love to learn more about that Manitoba Lake flood, but I can't find any information on it. I can't even read the sources linked in the description. And more info on this that might be publically available? I found reference to Lake Ojibway but it's not in the same spot as on your map and was 200 years after.
I imagine a future where we have CO2 levels pretty much under control and the big political conflict is how high they should be. Should we lower sea levels via the climate to win more land to settle on? But what about the countries that would lose out on agriculture due to colder climate? Will we ever find a 'sweet spot' where everybody is happy? Will we create some system that causes the climate to cycle regularly? How will climate justice look then?
I've always wondered if the Bells of Aberdyfi (the Drowned Hundred) of Wales are a legend that goes back to Doggerland. At its core, the myth refers to some area off the British coast that got swallowed by rising sea levels. If you've ever read Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series, it shows up in Silver on the Tree. (And if you haven't, you should; they're young adult stories but work for all ages, tales of 20th century teenagers stumbling across echoes of Celtic and Welsh legends that aren't entirely myth.) Not scientific, but worthwhile research of another sort: the preservation of cultural heritage, stories, myths, and ways of looking at the world from a time when there were fewer humans, and people lived embedded in the natural world, far more tied to local resources, the patterns and particulars of certain local animals, plants, seasonal changes and landscapes.
Weren't horses only introduced to Europe around 4000 BCE? I'm confused how horse bones could have been in Doggerland when it was submerged around 6200 BCE. Can someone help?
I think they mean wild horses, rather than domesticated horses which was introduced to Europe about that time. Heck Europe still had proper wild horses until like a few hundred years ago.
So why can't they sink a large diameter pipe down to the bottom, pump out the water, and then start digging if it's only 250-350 feet deep? Not as easy as simply making a grid and start digging but quicker than waiting for the next Ice Age that now may never happen.
So what caused the climate change back during the ice age? Humans? Even they who had such a low impact on the environment still suffered from great cataclysmic events. No matter how powerful we think we are the earth is still a complex web of interconnected micro environments that had positive and negative feedback. Therefore, do we as humans truly know the consequences of our actions, no we don’t. Whether the consequences are good or bad only time will tell.
One of the areas of the British Shipping Forecast - a brodcast made multiple times daily on BBC Radio services of a forecast produced by The British Meteorological Office (Met Office) with the purpose of advising ships about weather and sea conditions around all of the coastal waters of the islands - is still called 'Dogger'.
For an example of why, consider what would happen if you had a sloping rock layer below your boat. The sound would bounce off at an angle, so the echo would miss a sensor at the same position as the source. The towed streamers are several km long, with hydrophones every few metres. Covering a large area like lets you work out where an echo came from, as the echo coming in at an angle will hit different sensors at different times compared to one coming in directly from below. (I used to work in this area).
If we are facing rising sea levels today then why are the Maldive Islands (which we are very low lying and are told are due to be submerged due to climate change) building lots of new airports (5 in 2020 alone) and new tourist facilities ? Who would invest in major infrastructure projects if they are soon to be covered by the sea?
They won’t be covered by the Sea until the 2100s if we continue at our current rate of consumption, though any change we make to that rate will either extend or shorten this deadline. So investors are cashing in on the money that could be made within in the next 80 years.
And in parts of the UK, Dogger is a name for the faecal deposits left by dogs, and "Dogger bank", is just the name for the side of a footpath where people flick their dog's waste, cos they're so nice to leave their dog turds piled up all over the place.........

I am here, Sebastobel. I am a spirit who has never written before, and I desire to say a few things which I consider of importance to mortals as well as to spirits. I live in the highest sphere where intellect rules supreme, and where spirits are happy in the knowledge that their spirit existence is free from all the cares and limitations which a life in the body imposes. I am a student of the laws governing the relationship of the various planets to one another, and to the earth, and of the influences which the sun and moon and stars exert upon mortals of the earth. I am an ancient spirit and have been in spirit life many thousands of years - long before the great flood which submerged a great continent which men know as Atlantis. When that continent existed and was peopled by living, active, intelligent beings, I had been a spirit many years and was in communication with the prophets, as they were called - or rather seers - of that happy land. The development of these people far surpassed that of the present inhabitants of earth in not only the purely intellectual qualities in the abstract, but also in their knowledge of what you call the arts and sciences. Then the inhabitants of that fair land not only did not have the necessity for using horses or automobiles or steam cars or boats, or airships, for moving from place to place and traveling, but they knew of the existence of and the way to utilize certain forces of nature which enabled each individual or group of individuals to transport themselves from place to place by mere operation of their will power, using these forces. These forces still exist in nature, and are just as ready to be utilized now as they were at the time these people of whom I speak brought them under their control. Some day it will be given to man to understand and control these great forces and utilize them to their fullest extent. Just when this time will be I don’t know; but considering the rapid strides that mortals have made in discovering and utilizing some of the heretofore hidden forces in nature during the last half century, I do not think it will be long before these great forces will be discovered, or rather revealed, to man. It will not be so revealed until the higher powers consider the time ripe for man to have the knowledge of these forces revealed to him and to control them. I know what these forces are, but I am not permitted to make them known to you or anyone else at this time. I should otherwise gladly do so. Well, while they had this great knowledge and power of transporting themselves, and could have done so had they been given time, the submerging of the continent was so sudden that no man knew the moment when the catastrophe took place. It was in the twinkling of an eye, as it were, and men were drowned before they had time to think or attempt to save themselves. No, it was not like the Bible description of the flood, which never occurred; that was merely allegory and existed in other books, in a little different form, long before the Bible was written. These Atlantians are now inhabitants of the spirit world, living in different spheres, and more or less developed in their intellects. Well, I merely want to say further that I am somewhat surprised that you can receive my thoughts in the way of written communication, for I never before in all my spirit experience have written my thoughts this way. It is a wonderful gift and one which I consider superior to any other method that I know of for communing with mortals. You may ask me any question and I will answer it if I can. Yes, I see other spirits here - some dark and ugly and some bright and beautiful. I have spoken to one who says she is your wife, and she is a most beautiful and bright spirit - the brightest that I have come in contact with. Well, I must confess that I have never seen in my sphere any spirit so beautiful or bright, or pure looking or lovely as she, and I wonder why it is. I am at a loss to know, and I would like to know, I assure you. No, my intellect does not tell me, and I see that there is here presented a phenomenon which is worthy of all investigation and study. Well, she has told me, and I am astonished at her explanation. I never before knew or heard of the existence of such a thing as this New Birth or Divine Love, and even now I cannot comprehend what she means, but I see a result or effect for which I can find no cause, and it seems reasonable that I should accept the cause which she gives me. But I am astonished, as I thought that there is nothing in all the spirit world equal to the mind, and nothing which brings such happiness. But she tells me of a happiness of which I had no conception. Well, as you say, I see an effect and there must be a cause; and as I am an investigator of the truth, I feel it my duty to search for that cause, and I will. She has invited me to go with her and meet her band, and also one who, she tells me, is the most magnificent and beautiful in all the spirit universe. I will go with her and investigate this matter; and will come to you again. So I will say good night. My name when on earth was Sebastobel. I lived in the Upper Nile when the human race was very early developed into thinking beings. Sebastobel. Received 9/24/1915, new-birth.net
Wasn't Atlantis based off of the Minoan volcanic eruption in ~1600 BC that basically wiped most of the island of Thera/Santorini off the map? Most legends start with a grain of actual event before centuries of telephone totally change it.
Well, Atlantis is technically supposed to be an Egyptian story translated to "Greek" so we can't be entirely sure what it was inspired by, or even if it was an Egyptian story.
@@ricolucas3410 Dude, the tsunami that destroyed the Minoan culture is well documented. The Minoans thought it was the wrath of the sea god and they even sacrificed their own children to appease him.The Egyptians had trade with the Minoans. Plato supposedly got the story of Atlanntis from the Egyptians. The Minoans were the most advanced civilisation they traded with back then. So it is unsurprising that the destruction of Crete, that's the island of the Minoans, would inspire creation of the Atlantis story. You people are so clueless, but desperately want to believe in a true Atlantis. Get real.

@@kelvinjanssen7889 I don't know about the myths, but the link is to an article about a city called Dwarka, so now you can google it yourself and find a website that does work for you.
Isn't there Sundaland in SE Asia?
Humbling, thank you!
I recently saw a documentary on Santorini as the most likely origin of the myth of Atlantis. Where a volcanic eruption wiped out a early advanced civilization in the 1600 BCE. Anybody heard of this?
Clearing this up: Doggerland is not named because they land was covered by dogs, but rather named Doggerland after the North Sea's Dogger Bank. However, Whether the North Sea's Dogger Bank is named after dogs..... Well, that's for you to figure 😉
It's named after an old Dutch word for a ship (dogger) which was used to fish for cod (dogghe). But perhaps the fishermen took dogs with them for company...?
@@xxAlchemistressxx Since I live in the Netherlands your comment had me intrigued but a quick Google search for dogghe had no useful result (on the first page, let's be honest) and the Dutch wiki article on doggerland, to put it mildly, has little information. Do you have more sources on this?
@@toxyl3915 Found this on the first page of Google - second result.

Scroll down through the article and you'll find Doggerland and Dogghe.
@@toxyl3915 Hoi, als je Doggerland opzoekt op Wikipedia staat het ergens in het eerste gedeelte vermeld!
@@xxAlchemistressxx The cods they catch are dogdraves, right?
It's unlikely that the word "dogger" has anything to do with dogs, as "dog" was invented in Old English and appears in non-Anglic languages only in names of dog breeds.
There's a Welsh mythology story called _Cantre'r Gwaelod_ (The Lowland Hundred) about an ancient sunken Welsh town on the edge of what is now Cardigan Bay. It's been classified as a myth but I honestly think it existed. When the tide is low at Cardigan Bay, you can see lots of tree stumps from an ancient forest and these stumps have been tested and have been found to be the right age. When you look at the west coast of Wales, it makes sense. It looks like a chunk has been taken out of it. I live in South Wales, Welsh going back generations to the point where I don't know where my Welshness started, and this story is so fascinating to me. It also breaks my heart bc not only did we possibly lose a land to the ocean, we also had to give up the rest of the British isles when we were invaded. The modern Welsh word for England is "Lloegr" and it apparently means "The Lost Lands." It breaks my heart how much we lost. Anyway, that's a conversation for a different day. I just hope one day we can find evidence of Cantre'r Gwaelod. 😔❤️🤍💚🏴
As a Dutch person this video feels personal
Haha indeed, seems to be happening more often too, nowadays.
Seems there's a lot to be said about our small country and surroundings.
We zijn de lul
Especially since the Netherlands reclaimed lost land from the ocean using a series of polders and windmill powered pumps, until the catastrophic flood of the mid-20th century destroyed a huge number of settlements. Though, not given up, there's more land reclaimed now than ever.
When Doggerland sank, there must have been much caterwauling.
Oh dear ! lol
In 11,000 years maybe future archeologists will find Doggingland, where 21st century people performed sex acts on complete strangers in car parks, often with voyeurs in tow.
who knows, with it being off the Norfolk coast dogger land could have well been a popular mesolithic dogging site, park up your canoes along the beach and have some fun before continuing onto the continent 😂
Rawdoggerland
I now imagine a natural catastrophe happening in hypothetical Doggingland. Everyone Just keep shagging And the mentioned future archeologists finding those corpses in various interesting positions.
That might be of little interest as Beltane will be widely celebrated and the people will feel sorry for us, to have needed such a variety of compensations for our stunted sex life.
Many cities will end up like Atlantis in 100 years, all of Manhattan would be underwater with just buildings poking up above the water, pretty much all of Florida will disappear
In a completely curious way, you dont happen to have the source so I can share?
*Couple of hundreds of years (unless something unexpected happens)
And the only reason is because we humans built our cities on flat land on the sea... and even in river deltas often. Which is very short term thinking :)
When I talk to somebody about Doggerland, I try to explain where it is. I usually say that it is downhill from the Netherlands. ;D
Just about everything about Doggerland can about be inferred from northern Europe and Great Britain. The same people who lived there lived in Doggerland. There might be some slight regional differences but it's pretty much the same.
I think its way too difficult to call one place as The Atlantis - i think it was a story based on a repeated memory. A memory that has happened in multiple places, at different points of human history. I think its clear that events like this are not singular.
The Channel fishermen also often dredge up mammoth fossils in Doggerland; they give them to British museums and scientists for study.
_The ocean claims all._
The most primordial thing on our earth, it has existed sine the beginning and will exist with the end
The Ocean claims so many things! But it's not all that it claims that's true! For the last time - Trump didn't win neither the popular vote - nor the election. So shut up Ocean! Go put on your tin foil hat somewhere else - just go re-watch the Tulsa rally!
God! The Ocean seriously is no better than Fox news! The Ocean can go make a club with Laura Ingraham and yell all it wants, as for my part I'm indifferent!!
@@knucklesskinner253 Well I hate to be that person but like, there was a time when earth had no liquid water
Unless you are Dutch, then you slowly slowly claim the ocean.
This reminds me , I need to see New Orleans before it's gone.
A nearby village lost an entire church to the ocean. Its remains 100 meters of the coast some 10m below sea level. (Egmond church)
Thanks for this excellent advertisement for geoengineering. It makes it even clearer that we have to get serious about doing geoengineering deliberately, otherwise the earth will do it for us in the ways that are worst.
No it doesn't. You must have missed all the engineering disasters humans have committed.
There's so much lost ancient european history in Doggerland. Probably the greatest neolithic european settlements were there
Doggerland 2: FLORIDA
I would watch an hour long documentary on this.
Search UA-cam for How Doggerland sank beneath the waves, and you will find something.
So as a Dutch person this could've been our neighbours to the left of our country. And I never even knew about it lol
There were several Atlantis events throughout history

You might say Brexit began 8,000 years ago when Doggerland sank beneath the waves.

But you are?
Civilization lost to the rise in sea level ~11,000 years ago? Younger Dryas impact event.
It was obviously around even 100 years ago to those who are aware of Tartaria, mudfloods, etc. JonLevi’s channel is a great place to start. Funny enough I only noticed the missing part between my country and the rest of Europe because of Brexit and the fact that every other European can go on a nice road trip without breaks other than us. Then I discovered Doggerland. I didn’t even know it was a thing. Was not taught at my school. Well, all my suspicion and knowledge went there.
Hey SciShow, I'd love to learn more about that Manitoba Lake flood, but I can't find any information on it. I can't even read the sources linked in the description.
And more info on this that might be publically available? I found reference to Lake Ojibway but it's not in the same spot as on your map and was 200 years after.
The flood in question was from Lake Ojibway and Lake Aggasiz - hopefully that will help on your google quest :)
But what happened to Dogeland? Did all the Shiba Inu drown?
I imagine a future where we have CO2 levels pretty much under control and the big political conflict is how high they should be. Should we lower sea levels via the climate to win more land to settle on? But what about the countries that would lose out on agriculture due to colder climate? Will we ever find a 'sweet spot' where everybody is happy? Will we create some system that causes the climate to cycle regularly? How will climate justice look then?
Another channel covered Doggerland, but didn't cover the Manitoba lake release. It went more into the people and their lifestyle, and the tsunami.
Looks like Michael is living through an ice a of his own! Should I join their patreon so they can turn up the thermostat a few degrees?

I've always wondered if the Bells of Aberdyfi (the Drowned Hundred) of Wales are a legend that goes back to Doggerland. At its core, the myth refers to some area off the British coast that got swallowed by rising sea levels.
If you've ever read Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series, it shows up in Silver on the Tree. (And if you haven't, you should; they're young adult stories but work for all ages, tales of 20th century teenagers stumbling across echoes of Celtic and Welsh legends that aren't entirely myth.) Not scientific, but worthwhile research of another sort: the preservation of cultural heritage, stories, myths, and ways of looking at the world from a time when there were fewer humans, and people lived embedded in the natural world, far more tied to local resources, the patterns and particulars of certain local animals, plants, seasonal changes and landscapes.
The channel Geographics did a really great video on Doggerland.
Weren't horses only introduced to Europe around 4000 BCE? I'm confused how horse bones could have been in Doggerland when it was submerged around 6200 BCE. Can someone help?
I think they mean wild horses, rather than domesticated horses which was introduced to Europe about that time. Heck Europe still had proper wild horses until like a few hundred years ago.
Scotland got hit by a 15 metre tsunami and then this one followed, read it was more to 5 metres high sweeping through doggerland.
Doggerland sounds like a movie title.
Doggerland ? That's somewhere near Basildon aint it ?!
So why can't they sink a large diameter pipe down to the bottom, pump out the water, and then start digging if it's only 250-350 feet deep? Not as easy as simply making a grid and start digging but quicker than waiting for the next Ice Age that now may never happen.
Money.
Does this mean that archeology and deep sea diving are intersecting more and more? I like the sound of that!
So what caused the climate change back during the ice age? Humans? Even they who had such a low impact on the environment still suffered from great cataclysmic events. No matter how powerful we think we are the earth is still a complex web of interconnected micro environments that had positive and negative feedback. Therefore, do we as humans truly know the consequences of our actions, no we don’t. Whether the consequences are good or bad only time will tell.
We are just now understanding how the Sun rolls the dice and we just play along.

Hmm. So an advance race of Doggers had a thriving advanced civilization? Right now we have just doge memes. What happened?
Doggerland sounds like a land full of puppies.
Atlas Pro did a good video on dogger land a while ago. Be sure to check it out!
One of the areas of the British Shipping Forecast - a brodcast made multiple times daily on BBC Radio services of a forecast produced by The British Meteorological Office (Met Office) with the purpose of advising ships about weather and sea conditions around all of the coastal waters of the islands - is still called 'Dogger'.
Is the reason why those sensors are towed behind the boat that they’re too big or too sensitive to be anywhere on the boat?
For an example of why, consider what would happen if you had a sloping rock layer below your boat. The sound would bounce off at an angle, so the echo would miss a sensor at the same position as the source. The towed streamers are several km long, with hydrophones every few metres. Covering a large area like lets you work out where an echo came from, as the echo coming in at an angle will hit different sensors at different times compared to one coming in directly from below. (I used to work in this area).
Of course, a full explanation of the techniques involved would be far too long for a UA-cam comment.
@@dingo137 well, thank you for the brief explanation. That makes sense and is rather helpful.
We can 100% say this didn't inspire Atlantis because it was made up for a story.
You don't believe in Doggerland?
If we are facing rising sea levels today then why are the Maldive Islands (which we are very low lying and are told are due to be submerged due to climate change) building lots of new airports (5 in 2020 alone) and new tourist facilities ? Who would invest in major infrastructure projects if they are soon to be covered by the sea?
They won’t be covered by the Sea until the 2100s if we continue at our current rate of consumption, though any change we make to that rate will either extend or shorten this deadline.
So investors are cashing in on the money that could be made within in the next 80 years.
So the Sphinx was around before Doggerland was submerged?
ummm ... no.
Ancient Mauritania is Atlantis. Just a play on words of the Kingdom of Atlas. Much like the Atlantic or Atlas mountains named for the same.
Well then... I live on the coast of doggerland and and have swam in its land a couple times
Poor mans cold 😂😂
So it’s like Beringia
Doggerland: a world of underwater doggos?
Very well done . Thanks .
And in parts of the UK, Dogger is a name for the faecal deposits left by dogs, and "Dogger bank", is just the name for the side of a footpath where people flick their dog's waste, cos they're so nice to leave their dog turds piled up all over the place.........
wait... Catlantis isn't real?
I see Doggerland, I click
The "pine" image (2:23) is an Auracaria, probably the common Norfolk Island Pine; a common enough houseplant but only a distant relation of the pines, from the opposite side of the planet. Sloppy science by SciShow. But I enjoyed the video anyway :)
I am here, Sebastobel.
I am a spirit who has never written before, and I desire to say a few things which I consider of importance to mortals as well as to spirits.
I live in the highest sphere where intellect rules supreme, and where spirits are happy in the knowledge that their spirit existence is free from all the cares and limitations which a life in the body imposes.
I am a student of the laws governing the relationship of the various planets to one another, and to the earth, and of the influences which the sun and moon and stars exert upon mortals of the earth. I am an ancient spirit and have been in spirit life many thousands of years - long before the great flood which submerged a great continent which men know as Atlantis.
When that continent existed and was peopled by living, active, intelligent beings, I had been a spirit many years and was in communication with the prophets, as they were called - or rather seers - of that happy land. The development of these people far surpassed that of the present inhabitants of earth in not only the purely intellectual qualities in the abstract, but also in their knowledge of what you call the arts and sciences. Then the inhabitants of that fair land not only did not have the necessity for using horses or automobiles or steam cars or boats, or airships, for moving from place to place and traveling, but they knew of the existence of and the way to utilize certain forces of nature which enabled each individual or group of individuals to transport themselves from place to place by mere operation of their will power, using these forces. These forces still exist in nature, and are just as ready to be utilized now as they were at the time these people of whom I speak brought them under their control.
Some day it will be given to man to understand and control these great forces and utilize them to their fullest extent. Just when this time will be I don’t know; but considering the rapid strides that mortals have made in discovering and utilizing some of the heretofore hidden forces in nature during the last half century, I do not think it will be long before these great forces will be discovered, or rather revealed, to man. It will not be so revealed until the higher powers consider the time ripe for man to have the knowledge of these forces revealed to him and to control them.
I know what these forces are, but I am not permitted to make them known to you or anyone else at this time. I should otherwise gladly do so.
Well, while they had this great knowledge and power of transporting themselves, and could have done so had they been given time, the submerging of the continent was so sudden that no man knew the moment when the catastrophe took place. It was in the twinkling of an eye, as it were, and men were drowned before they had time to think or attempt to save themselves.
No, it was not like the Bible description of the flood, which never occurred; that was merely allegory and existed in other books, in a little different form, long before the Bible was written.
These Atlantians are now inhabitants of the spirit world, living in different spheres, and more or less developed in their intellects.
Well, I merely want to say further that I am somewhat surprised that you can receive my thoughts in the way of written communication, for I never before in all my spirit experience have written my thoughts this way. It is a wonderful gift and one which I consider superior to any other method that I know of for communing with mortals. You may ask me any question and I will answer it if I can.
Yes, I see other spirits here - some dark and ugly and some bright and beautiful. I have spoken to one who says she is your wife, and she is a most beautiful and bright spirit - the brightest that I have come in contact with.
Well, I must confess that I have never seen in my sphere any spirit so beautiful or bright, or pure looking or lovely as she, and I wonder why it is. I am at a loss to know, and I would like to know, I assure you.
No, my intellect does not tell me, and I see that there is here presented a phenomenon which is worthy of all investigation and study.
Well, she has told me, and I am astonished at her explanation. I never before knew or heard of the existence of such a thing as this New Birth or Divine Love, and even now I cannot comprehend what she means, but I see a result or effect for which I can find no cause, and it seems reasonable that I should accept the cause which she gives me. But I am astonished, as I thought that there is nothing in all the spirit world equal to the mind, and nothing which brings such happiness. But she tells me of a happiness of which I had no conception. Well, as you say, I see an effect and there must be a cause; and as I am an investigator of the truth, I feel it my duty to search for that cause, and I will.
She has invited me to go with her and meet her band, and also one who, she tells me, is the most magnificent and beautiful in all the spirit universe. I will go with her and investigate this matter; and will come to you again. So I will say good night.
My name when on earth was Sebastobel. I lived in the Upper Nile when the human race was very early developed into thinking beings.

You call it Doggerland we called it home.
Wasn't Atlantis based off of the Minoan volcanic eruption in ~1600 BC that basically wiped most of the island of Thera/Santorini off the map? Most legends start with a grain of actual event before centuries of telephone totally change it.
That is indeed the most likely inspiration for the Atlantis story.
Well, Atlantis is technically supposed to be an Egyptian story translated to "Greek" so we can't be entirely sure what it was inspired by, or even if it was an Egyptian story.
If it was a Minoan story it would've been documented. Whatever you think you know about history is minute compared to actual history.
@@WeebishSwed The Egyptians had a lot of trade with the Minoans.
@@ricolucas3410 Dude, the tsunami that destroyed the Minoan culture is well documented. The Minoans thought it was the wrath of the sea god and they even sacrificed their own children to appease him.The Egyptians had trade with the Minoans. Plato supposedly got the story of Atlanntis from the Egyptians. The Minoans were the most advanced civilisation they traded with back then. So it is unsurprising that the destruction of Crete, that's the island of the Minoans, would inspire creation of the Atlantis story.
You people are so clueless, but desperately want to believe in a true Atlantis. Get real.
Hey guys, your "pine" picture is actually an Araucaria species which, as far as I know, haven't existed in the northern hemisphere for millions of years
