This, as they say, is huge! something rumored and believed for a very long time is being verified as a genuine archeological find. Posted by Facebook OutPost Forum Group member Will Hollinshead.

'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

'Britain's Atlantis' - a hidden underwater world swallowed by the North Sea - has been discovered by divers working with science teams from the University of St Andrews.
Doggerland, a huge area of dry land that stretched from Scotland to Denmark was slowly submerged by water between 18,000 BC and 5,500 BC.
Divers from oil companies have found remains of a 'drowned world' with a population of tens of thousands - which might once have been the 'real heartland' of Europe.
A team of climatologists, archaeologists and geophysicists has now mapped the area using new data from oil companies - and revealed the full extent of a 'lost land' once roamed by mammoths.

Isn't this remarkable. This will lend more credence to the vast sunken civilizations off shore around the world. It will surely stimulate the imaginations of those exploring the Baltic site as it very well may be a relic of the past. As more and more oceanographic archeology is done we will no doubt expand our knowledge and appreciation of the intelligence, resourcefulness, and expanse of human habitation pre-iceage arounf the globe.

I love this stuff.
