  1. Interesting. How do we know where the Doggerland rivers were?

  2. The landmass remained consistent until roughly 7,000 BC, when a proto-football World Cup was first instituted and the tears of the England fans caused the sea levels to rise.

  3. Can it be that there are a lot more archeological finds available below the sea level? Are there projects in this direction?

  4. So when the Pyramids were built, Great Britain was connected to Europe?

  5. isn’t there a gigaproject to dam from till Scotland and Britain to France to reclaim land like the Nethereland did?

  6. Much of the North coast of Ireland was shaped from ice from what I was told in school so that ice sheet must have been a lot bigger.

  7. Where‘d my beloved Rhine go?! The archives are incomplete!

  8. Fuck climate change man. If ever proof was needed this is it.

  9. I didnt know sea levels have been rising this long. Has it increased exponentially since burning fossil fuels?

  10. Where is the rest of Western Europe? As in, the actual most South*western* part of it?

  11. All of that will be dutch land soon. Watch out Britain

  12. and in the 14th century CE the dutch decided to fight back

  13. That guy famous of late from facepalm and other subs will be spitting out his cornflakes and saying “SEE! I TOLD YA, GERMANY *IS* LANDLOCKED!”

  14. Horrifying to think that the UK was once connected to France. Ew.

  15. Could’ve had a fantasy land instead they gave us Britain😭

  16. So Dogger Bank was an island 7000BC and people were trapped there to be slowly but inevitably flooded until there is no space to escape left?

  17. Man those prehistoric people must have produced a lot of CO2

  18. The Saint Marcellus’s flood of 1362 is some real scary Atlanttis shit not that long ago.

  19. I love that Norway just said “absolutely fucking not” and had a steep trench just do we didn’t have to be connected directly to Denmark

  20. I remember first time I read about this. Still pretty wild that this is so (relatively) recent. Also makes makes me giggle that all those proud British nationalists are descended from a couple of thousand Europeans who got stranded when the water rose. (Am English)

  21. There are parts of the sea above the dogger bank that are so shallow, you could dive down and touch the bottom on a single breath.
