mattingly Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 ...sort of. 'Britain's Atlantis' found at bottom of North sea - a huge undersea world swallowed by the sea in 6500BC Divers have found traces of ancient land swallowed by waves 8500 years ago Doggerland once stretched from Scotland to Denmark Rivers seen underwater by seismic scans Britain was not an island - and area under North Sea was roamed by mammoths and other giant animals Described as the 'real heartland' of Europe Had population of tens of thousands - but devastated by sea level rises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
薔薇語 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Re: Atlantis Found Well, that might explain how some early Britons made it to Great Britain in mass. It is, to the best of my knowledge, still a mystery how the earliest settlers arrived there. La Rose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmower Boy Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Re: Atlantis Found Boat? The first generally accepted boat trips by human beings are those that must have been used by the ancestors of the Australian aborigines to cross the Wallace Line, and this may well have happened before 70,000BP. Human settlement in Britain substantially predates this, but occurred in periods when there were land bridges other than Doggerland. Inferences about immigration into Britain via Doggerland originate with its discovery, not a supposed technological issue. There's really no doubt that our ancestors had boats prior to the most recent settlement in Britain, and there was also no doubt, even 150 years ago, that Doggerland existed and had human inhabitants. The question is thoroughly treated in Wells' Outline of History. (Knock yourself out here. There's a nice map, p. 68.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawnmower Boy Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Re: Atlantis Found Or Hyboria. Howard's map of Hyboria does seem to be vaguely based on the one in Wells's Outline. Using Cimmeria=Scotland as my orientating point, I'd say eastern Aquilonia/Border Kingdoms/western Nemedia, to be precise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
