So here we go, the first video of 2020. Ancient Europe is a fascinating subject to delve into. Many more to come on a huge variety of eras. What ancient/ prehistory topics would you like to see me tackle in the future? Please like, subscribe and share with a like minded friend if you enjoyed the video, and i'll see you on the next one! Right, back to work. Watch my latest full length history documentary:- ukposts.info/have/v-deo/m2N5pWyMmHyC0p8.html

In the Netherlands we find relics from the iceage daily. De zandmotor and the Tweede Maasvlakte are made with sand from the North sea floor. As the tide comes and goes it reveals bones from mammoth, rhino, horses, megaloceros, and even Neanderthal and human tools . Also the fishermen find amazing relics in their nets. I cannot describe how much it fascinates me.

Doggerland is such a fascinating thing to me. Just knowing that it was inhabited by humans. It fills my head with ideas of what ancient people lived there and what culture myth and history is buried there.

Leads you to wonder how much history is under the waves that we have no idea about

Brilliant documentary thank you. I come from the village where the Creswell horse head was found, Creswell Crags is an amazing place with a lovely little museum with plenty of other amazing finds. You can go on guided tours into the caves to see the rock art first hand. We're not exactly in the Peak District we're about 20 odd miles away but definitely worth a visit.

You named your boat "Colander"? Yes. Her sister ships "Strainer" and "Sieve" both sank on their maiden voyages. We're hoping for better luck this time.

Cave kid: mommy look at the deer antler mask I made! Cave mom: that's cute sweetie! Archaeologist: the anthropological significance of this artifact may be indicative of emerging pre-religious ritualistic tendencies with zoomorphic features.

I have long identified Doggerland with the legendary Hyperborea, naturally inclusive of Scandinavia. I first became aware of Doggerland as a boy in the 1950s, from an interesting Popular Science magazine article by, or about, archaeologist Dr. Jurgen Spanuth, who went diving in an old-style diving suit off the coast of Heligoland. In the North Sea. In the late 1940s, where he followed an ancient stone wall out to sea underwater to a bridge, gate and roadway, to ruins of ancient stone buildings. He had discovered an ancient stone village or town. He said the locals called the submerged remains Doggerland.

26:57 The Thames and Rhine flowed into the same delta 🤯🤯🤯🤯. So many small aspects of this documentary could be a long interesting documentary themselves.

I would worry if I were aboard a boat named ‘The Colander’

Wow, I didn't even realize this wasn't a professional tv documentary until the end. You are amazing!

Who else would feel Uneasy about going to sea in a boat called "The colander"?

Interestingly, descendants of the Dogger people still exist in the UK. They inhabit carparks late at night.

There's something poetic about the three major country defining rivers of the Rhine, the Seine and the Thames running into the same river. These rivers have been vital in shaping some of the biggest European countries and they used to unite.

As an American, yes, I mourn that we never learned of this rich and complicated history. It is so valuable to know the prehistoric history of Europe. It is our history as well.

A museum in hull has a small carving of a boat with peg like people in it, they say it's from doggerland, it's fascinating!

One of the best documentaries on UKposts. A topic like this could easily be very dry, scientific and full of facts and dates - you have managed brilliantly to make it mystical and fascinating. Well done!

Plato: So Atlantis was the great landmass lost to the sea. Doggerland: Hold my beer.

Consistently one of the greatest channels on the tube.

Missed this one, Pete. Just awesome as usual!! Your content is just incredible. I knew about Doggerland before, but never knew some of things in your video. You are amazing!!

Hi Pete. This was an excellent documentary! I'm looking forward to your future ones.

It's amazing that I could live this long and never have heard of Doggerland. Thanks for ending that!

This is the best program that I've ever seen on Doggerland. Thanks for a great production.

My goodness.. Your documentaries are absolutely brilliant!! Probably my favorite channel now. Thank you so much for all your hard work! Much respect and admiration from Ohio!

To think about the clear night skies, deadening silence and utterly unspoiled vast continents of pure nature is mesmerizing

"The red lady himself" got me :D

Now that's what I call a hard brexit!

Some parts went down faster. Like immediately. There's actually an entire island, with a village on it, and a dock area, where basically a natural gas bubble that was holding up the land suddenly burst and the whole lot ended up under the water. And much deeper than the surrounding seabed now. It went from an island to a crater. They worked out that it went down fast because of the relics they found down there. They're too valuable to have been left behind by people moving away from a slow inundation.

Absolutely brilliant documentaries!!! I've just subscribed and look forward to seeing all of your work!

_How Doggerland Sank Beneath The Waves_ Catterland: *SMIRKS*

Well, the fishermen along the Danish west coast all knew there were houses buried at the bottom of the North Sea on Doggerbanke. They'd get building timber in their trawling nets and after hard storms, large, water soaked timber would be carried ashore by the waves.

Lovely, and well done. Amazing how you've produced a geologic documentary, told like a tale of mythical legend. Stoner pleasure.

As someone from the northwestern part of Germany living near the north sea coast, this is fascinating to imagine that there was so much inhabited land with forests, marshlands and meadows with so many ice age animals where there is just sea now just 8000 years ago. This makes me wonder, maybe some of my ancestors might even be escaped doggerlanders who managed to get to the mainland when the island sank. (Only my gandpas ancestry has been in this region of northwest Germany for many generations, but still). Over the thousands of years, there were probably so many migrations anyways in europe that former doggerlanders have likely settled in many places in europe.

That map you showed of the Thames and Rhine being connected. So strange to see.

This was absolutely brilliant. One of the most interesting and well made documentaries I have watched in a long time. Thoroughly enjoyable piece of work.

One of the most fascinating and well made documentaries I've seen in a while.

Incredibly thorough especially considering it is only one hour long. Lots if information I have never heard before. Thank you.

this period in human history is endlessly fascinating to me, thank you for these videos.

I love this stuff. It helps to give perspective to just how quickly and thoroughly our reality can change.

Found this documentary channel recently and i'm on marathon documentary. Such a great channel and i'm sure this channel will grow bigger and bigger. Keep it up!

Fascinating. How lucky we are to benefit from all that has been learned since Buckland's discovery. The maps are so interesting.

Just looked it up in my 'Ethymologisch Woordenboek': a dogger is a fisherman of specifically codfish. The old Dutch word for codfish is dogghe.

Absolutely legendary.Everyone needs to know about Doggerland. The secrets that will be found here will be truly magical.

Thank you so much for your videos. The content and presentation is beyond excellent. Your narration is very pleasant.

So good. I’ve heard about Doggerland never really looked into it. Very insightful and even inspiring a bit.

Peat has also historically be a vital fuel in Denmark, especially during the German occupation, this is largely why so much peat has been dug up and why we have made so many archeological finds in the peat bogs.

Male mammoth: "So, where are we going for our summer holidays this year?" Female mammoth: "Oh, let's go to Doggerland again! I really liked it last time."

Thank you all for documenting this fascinating history lesson!

Whenever I watch these types of videos (as being sort of a sentimentalist), I always wonder who built these things that we now admire and see as our ancient, ancient past today. What life did they lead? Did they ever wonder about the greater world? Of course, people in that age were more intent on survival rather than philosphy or the grand extent of things-- but humans will always be humans, curious to a fault. I wonder what they thought when they looked up to the night skies, or when they might've look upon the vast seas. Just a little thought of mine (which I'm sure could either be debunked or exemplified, but it's always fun to wonder).

Your soothing voice made that list of animals around the 29-30 min mark like a storybook! Thank you for this superb production!

Fascinating story! Thank you, Pete. You are one of the best content creators on UKposts. 💕 😘

HI Pete, an impressive documentary that I enjoyed with my morning tea, thanks! It must be an immense challenge creating them with stock footage, but it worked well, might I suggest being as restrained, or even more restrained than you already are & using a good 15% fewer clips & photos, it may give you a smoother, less choppy look. Also, and I know this is though, but avoiding obvious changes of style between shots would give your films a more even & custom shot for you look; perhaps run a gentle colour grading over everything to bring it all together. Thanks again & good luck with your next production.

Well the Dutch took some of Doggerland back from the sea.

I really like your work. The documentaries are very detailed and interesting. Also, for a non native English speaker like myself your speech is very clear and easy to understand. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for your works, I for one appreciate your well researched pieces

Great content! Don't ever lose your accent. I'm loving just waiting for the hard "G" to come out, it's neither constant nor consistent and I love it.

We live in such an amazing time to be able to know so much about Earths history. Those people back 10k years ago could never have imagined a life like this where we are now. Will the future humans be saying the same about us?

47:11 Similar settlements have been found outside Copenhagen in the Øresund belt, 6-10 meters below sea level.

Excellent documentary Pete, I thoroughly enjoy your work, thank you 😊

I will defiantly be signing up for this subscription.Very well done indeed.

I can't believe this is a youtube channel and not PBS Nova or Horizon. Fantastic.

I listen to your voice to go to sleep and end up listening to the entire thing before I can stop.

One of the best documentaries I’ve seen on UKposts just subscribed - amazing

Amazing content, the fact the Thames used to run into the Rhine shows you how interconnected we are

I was so pleased with the intriguing start.. Then discovered your reading list. Bestill my heart. Thank you for quality, enticing works.

I like how I got a chill down my spin when my bloody town was mentioned 43:50, and the discovery was only made 6 years before I was born. Jings, I'd been told all my life the basin was formed because of a Tsunami and obviously discovered it was true when I looked it up in 2010/11 and linked to the collapse. Only discovered about Doggerland last year but did not suspect or expect the two events to be linked.

Thank for what you've done! 🤘 I was totally hypnotized!

Thanks Pete your work is greatly appreciated.

I am so happy to of found your channel! Cheers from Victoria Canada 🇨🇦 👍

In the middle 70's my father worked for a international oil comp. who mapped the complete Noordzee, in the archives you can find some maps with spots what looks like old village's .....

You included a citation list. I'm impressed. Good job.

This is a quality documentary. Amazing fading in and out of the theme tune. The mood throughout helps to counter the dangerously optimistic attitudes people have towards our current sea level rise crisis.

Amazing. Could you do a documentary of southern India ? Thousands of years ago India and Sri Lanka were connected, and Hindu scriptures mention that there were great civilizations that existed there around 3000 BC which vanished under the sea.

That was a great video Pete Kelly , although I have studied much related to this subject you have condensed it so very well. Thank you

The temple of Gobekli Tepe is 12 thousand year's old, so great civilisations did exist in the times of dogger land and many were wiped out by natural disasters. The remaining survivors of these disasters going on to start again elsewhere in the world hence the similar designs in building's and image's found today in archeology.

Very happy to have found your channel. Subscribed while being delighted by your video!

Okay, there's a bit of an issue with the "mega-tsunami" theory. When a tsunami is created, the shockwave caused by sudden and massive displacement of water is what creates the wave, and the energy of that displacement uses water as the wave medium (er, obviously). However, no matter how far inland a wave travels, it always retreats back into the ocean once the energy of the wave is expended, and even if a huge volume of water is permanently displaced by movement of earth, and thus the seabed is permanently changed suddenly (i.e. a huge volume of earth is added or subtracted to the sea floor), the displaced volume is still occurring in the ocean (so basically the displaced water volume gets averaged out over the volume of the entire ocean) and the sea level doesn't change much (if at all). A tsunami by itself, even an enormous one, does not have the ability to "sink land below the waves." Instead, for that to happen one of at least 3 things need to occur (although a tsunami can be part of the series of events in question): 1) the sea level changes quickly (yes, as in sea level for the entire frickin globe changes), 2) the geography of the land and/or seabed changes so land that was previously above sea level gets moved (literally sunk) below sea level; and 3) land that is (or has been moved) below sea level is inundated suddenly by water (the water overcomes a physical barrier that blocks or limits water movement, allowing the sea to permanently flood below-sea-level land). So "ridiculously huge tsunami' by itself only explains killing off every fucking living thing in the vicinity. Was there another factor at play here that actually "sunk" the region? Doggerland was mostly low-lying but was it actually below sea-level at the time of the tsunami, and the tsunami overcame a land barrier of some kind? Was part of the landscape moved below sea-level with the Storegga slides?

Fantastic work! I learned so much, thank you! Could you make more documentary about prehistoric times? Your docs are the firsts i see that focus on the last hunter-gatherer's pov, usually it's all about the first farmers. Ps: little typo with Dryas being Dyras

you are an amazing narrator !!! wow!! the voice....., the pace....... perfect. Its so exciting....., .... can't stop....

Thank-you for sharing and posting.

Thank you so much for this! It’s hard to find good informative videos covering this area and time period.

History Time Thanks for all you do. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.

you're a living legend Pete! love your stuff

Extraordinary documentary, enjoyed it so much

Love these videos. I’m always reassured I’m just a blip in time so don’t worry about anything.

I remember subscribing to your channel after watching a video about Grand Prince Árpád a year ago and I watched it again today after a notification from your channel and I can say I didn't like your latest video but your old videos tought me so much about history.Old Anglo-Saxon chronicles,Crusades,Vikings,Seljuks,Kievan Rus,Sviatoslav,Tutush,Scythians,Tzachas,Æthelstan,Bohemond,Ælfred,Spartacus,The Goths in fall of Rome,Norman conquest of Italy,Arab traveller,Zengids and in other channel: Khazars,Magyars, Slavs,Bulgars,Rus from perspective of a medieval Muslim,Turcopoles and more interesting stuff you had I am lazy to write.I liked those videos and learnt many things from them.Thank you

Thank you for all of your hard work.

Well done, highly organized, well research, intelligent and understandable.

Brilliant! So well done. Thank you for this.

After the ice age Scandinavia has risen. The ice who used to press down the landscape melted and the landscape pressed up. An example is you find viking boat houses up hills were the water level used to be 1000 years ago. Opposite happened and happens in north sea, southern Denmark, netherlands etc. So is not only about rising water but also how the earth moves. When land rises, it sinks other places.

Awesome documentary, thank you for posting.

Fantastic documentary, thanks for making it.

This is so interesting! I´ve been reading Maria Adolfsson ´s crime novels about a fictional Doggerland. She has created a fictional country that has sort of a Scandi-British culture, with new traditions that is a little bit of both. It´s a fascinating thought what that country would be like if it still would be here. I recommend them to anyone who like some Scandi Noir. Doggerland: Deception and Doggerland: Storm Warning There is also a third one, published less than a month ago that I haven´t read yet, called "Mellan Djävulen och havet", I don´t know what the English title will be but it means "Between the Devil and the sea".

Such a fascinating topic! Although I knew somethings about it (partially from your other videos) it was still very informative, even about some interesting things not directly related to the Doggerland, like the Shigir Idol.

I read a comment from you on an other very nice history and paleoarcheology channel from Stefan Milo and found this here !!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼... This was my first video that i watched here and i am exited !!! Wonderfully portrayed with beautiful pictures , with facts and artifacts !!! THANK YOU !!! 🍀🍀🍀

Sooo love these programs, lockdowns or no, thanks so much Pete! In the olden days you would have had your own TV series for your explorations, but I guess the internet gives you a bigger audience! Just FYI, the use of the term "era" is quite specific. If I google the "Anglian Era", it comes up with "Anglian Stage". As in the naming of stages or branches in evolutionary trees, geological and archeological time periods have quite specific designations with specific meanings, as I'm sure you know. Best wishes for the wider success of your programs, they have a wide and appreciative audience, great work!

I like to learn something new every day; thank you for today.

This is very well done, great job.

Fascinating. Absolutely fascinating. Thank you.

Great video and fascinating stuff!
