The story of Doggerland is pretty fascinating. The idea is that mainland Europe and the UK were connected not only by a land bridge, but a place where plants, animals and even humans, thrived.
# Summary
Dive into the fascinating underwater world of Doggerland, a submerged landmass that once connected the United Kingdom and continental Europe beneath what is now the North Sea, in this episode packed with history, geology, and ancient human discovery. Josh and Chuck explore how medieval legends of Noah's Woods, mysterious fishing trawler discoveries, and groundbreaking research by archaeologists like Brianne Coles and Vincent Gaffney gradually revealed that this wasn't just a barren land bridge but actually a thriving region populated by Mesolithic and early Neolithic peoples over thousands of years. The hosts uncover how fishermen's artifacts, sophisticated underwater mapping data from oil companies, and paleontological evidence paint an incredible picture of how climate change, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and possibly even catastrophic tsunamis eventually submerged this entire lost civilization somewhere between five and eight thousand years ago.
