DOGGERLAND - The European Atlantis?

hey guys welcome to my channel today i'm joined by the lovely history with kaylee uh we follow each other online and we both do ancient history videos and we thought hey why don't we do one together and we can have a chit chat about some of our favorite subjects or things that are interested what are we going to talk about today we're going to talk about doggerland [Music] very excited i hadn't heard of it i mean until i think about last year yeah i i hadn't um i haven't ever heard of it so i'm i'm i'm completely new i'm a doggerland virgin and yeah and you've been to the museum because you don't you live on the other side of dogoland to me yeah exactly i live on the other coast yeah so once upon a time not that long ago i could have walked to your house would have taken me a while but it would have taken a while but it was possible yeah i could have walked to your house and now we can't um yes so that's interesting we're going to get both sides of the but there's a museum over there all about yeah we have the um reiks museum that altera which is the national museum of antiquities in leiden which is like in south holland and it had a special exhibition about doggerland and from october that will end and then it will travel throughout the netherlands and maybe possibly in the future uh same sort of exhibit will come to the uk i hope so because i don't know anything about it people need to know because especially in england we feel well especially with brexit we feel quite remote from the rest of europe and it's interesting to think actually not that long ago we were literally on the europe continent with everybody yeah and it's only because of series of unfortunate events uh cataclysms that we've been separated and that's why we're an island and if that hadn't happened we would have just been and there's your cat so um my understand this is where my understanding of what dogoland is it is what we've called uh the missing chunk of continent that has now disappeared that used to connect the uk with europe and and scandinavia and scandinavia yeah we were all like a big fan we were one like we were one big landmass and yeah we were under like a pack of ice in the last ice age and when that started to melt we were like one big landmass and as time progresses and it started to melt more the sea water rises and suddenly we had dogger bank instead of dog or land because we only had like a small island left yes like six and like approximately 8 000 years ago suddenly that island became submerged as well and you were secluded like britain and europe we weren't friends anymore like yeah and it's yeah it's crazy because i thought i imagined that dog alone would have been something that was hundreds of thousands if not millions of years ago in like a continental shift but it's not this this literally happened eight thousand years ago so close relatively in human history that we were really close and therefore they don't know a lot about it because uh it's all under the water now but when they have done dives and they've got things and they've like they've looked at the human bones and the animal bones they can find out loads of stuff like what these people were eating and what their health was like and how they were mammoths and lions there what a time and apparently it was a bit of a like a bit of a well it was a marshy banky type of area as it was starting to but it was also a bit of an oasis of it was a lush forest before like it started to get underwater it was like the garden of eden of europe like for real it was the perfect place to settle down i think that the mount builders and all the megalithic builders in the entirety of europe because it's all surrounding the landmass of doggerland mostly the megalithic builders the first builders here i think they were from doggerland like they yeah are the answers the descendants of doggerlanders because it makes sense it might it makes the most sense we have the oldest hench monument in europe which is on the isle of tennesse in uh scotland it's like the the standing stones of stanis it's older than anything there when it comes to hinges it's closest to like the old shore of doggerland with dogger bank so it makes sense that it all started there a massive land like on the on the west side of ireland that we don't see because like now it's underwater but it all the mount building structures the dolmens in ireland all came from the west to the east so it makes the most sense to me yeah and then even even when like stonehenge everybody was coming from wales which was from ireland to wales whale yeah to the hinge but i yeah but it makes sense that when the doggerland was disappearing everybody moved to the you know quick find some dry land and exactly with them when all of the knowledge of how to build all the stone move the stones and i would love if they could do some kind of underwater lidar scanning imagine what kind of like if they were stonehenges i think it's difficult in in the north sea because like normally you have an ocean and an ocean has like a special surface on like the bottom but the north sea isn't like an ocean we just have murky mud it's all murky mud in the entirety of the north sea because it used to be like land yeah so um like you have you have this beach in england and sometimes when the water gets really low you can see remnants of like an ancient forest it's it's mind-blowing i'll send with that forest it's like insane you can just see how lush doggerland used to be so as we can see i'm gonna put an image up here so doggerland used to be roughly half the size of germany apparently and uh as it over the years in the different stages that it was like receding um it's now 30 to 50 i'm gonna i've i put 30 to 50 in my notes and that could either be feet or meters under water i don't know um i'm probably going to go with meters because 50 foot yeah i think meters so while it was in that mid area there was like 24 lakes and 10 estuaries which is like the posh word for rivers that go out to the sea um yes and the animals that they found horses mammoths deer lions you said yeah they found some like bones but maybe like because you could travel more from to the south and then back to the north they collected the bones there but like it's possible it's totally possible the sea levels were rising after the around the at the end of the ice age so the glaciers were melting anyway and the seas were rising anyway but doggerland got hit by two massive ancient disasters called the sterega of osterega event i don't know how you say it yeah the straga slide yeah the reagan slide that sounds a lot cooler than it was which was literally a tsunami i thought living in this side of the world we're pretty safe we're quite boring and we don't have a lot of i mean like i've never heard of a tsunami being in this side of the world turns out very recently in human history there was um two two devon so that's kind of made me a little bit nervous because i'm like i don't have a tsunami action plan wait you're nervous seventy percent of my country is below sea level right no you should be nervous i think my house is like seven meters below sea level standing on my roof won't save me no okay i would get yourself uh some snorkels a snorkeling equipment maybe some deep sea diving so just go i have a snorkel mask yeah get yourself some flippers and a snorkel mask because you're gonna need it babe so the the event was basically an under the sea landslide and a tsunami and it all just went and came down and yeah and it basically flooded everywhere and then it whipped away the chalk the chalky uh land that was so the cliffs of dover i went to dover recently which is the very very very end point of england yeah it's where the dover strait is so if you're gonna cross to france that's where you go and um the cliffs of dover are so impressive they are just hundreds and hundreds of meters high and they're made out of this white chalk rock and i guess that's what the english channel was and it was just incredibly easy to erode and so when when all this disaster came through it whittled away made the english channel and there we are that's why we have that okay oh i'm right another note i'm doing all my facts in the wrong order but here we are so 17 meters below the sea 12 000 years ago what what does that note mean to me the sea level was 70 meters lower 12 000 years ago yes yes that's that's what that no i'm fact checking in like yes yes you're right there we go so 70 so the sea level was 70 meters lower 12 000 years ago which is interesting when people hunt for atlantis because they need to take that into account because 12 000 years ago obviously everything was 70 meters lower so when you're looking at any kind of world map you need to be starting from that point of view um yeah because some people have said i've tried to say that atlantis was in the doggerlands i don't think that's correct they call it like the european atlantis because it's like a disappeared landmass which i find okay we can call it the european atlantis but it's not atlantis it's not the atlanta it's plato's atlantis how is our atlantis yeah it but i but it does prove to to people who are complete naysayers of atlantis yes that's it's possible it's totally possible to have a gorgeous amazing thriving ecosystem with massive populations and all of these animals and everything and it can completely happen and almost be dissolved to history like where's the great story of doggerland like yeah it could almost have been lost to history so i think that it proves that it's very possible that around the time of that ice age does like natural disasters were happening sea levels were moving massively it's completely possible that we've lost loads of stuff under the ocean and stories like this i think have they have a lot of potential and meaning they show that we don't know everything and that we shouldn't jump to conclusions as to oh that's not possible or it's like no it's like it's this shows that it's completely possible and that we don't know what we think we know if that makes sense hundred percent the bullying alert it's like an enormous volcanic eruption that happened twelve thousand nine hundred years ago so like in ten thousand nine hundred bce so after the young dryas there suddenly was a massive volcano outburst here in europe yeah like that made doggerland and then afterwards like the storega slide those two disasters completely messed with doggerland and like our history here that's insane because i never heard about that volcano erupting yeah so hold on anyone anyone who's living on europe or this side of england or anything um yeah we have a history of volcanoes and we have history of tsunamis like who knew i'm just sitting here all smug like i'm fine and um no we're actually it's not just la that the desert i feel like the gif in fire i'm fine this is fine i'm fine fine 9000 years ago doggerland became dogger bank because the land disappeared the land bridge between us disappeared but we could still travel to dog or bank with boat england so that's like the middle island yeah there was still like a possibility to travel from scandinavia to england or from denmark to england through dogger bank also like did you know that the netherlands has dolmens like no one knows no one knows that the netherlands has dolmens because the ice sheet that covered doggerland and like the entirety in northern europe that brought with it like glacial erratics like these big and massive stones and eventually like 5 000 years ago like almost 5500 years ago people started to like build domains like passage tombs here it's just that we don't have the mounts anymore we just have the skeletal remains that we call unibeda they're dolmens i went to one last year and it was like amazing to like touch those stones they're so old old and massive yeah i went to stone stonehenge recently and that challenge that was amazing i'm so jealous i've only ever driven past stonehenge when i was a kid and it just looks like tiny like a little lego set yeah but seeing them up close in real life and these stones are old like the stones in egypt almost haven't changed in like i mean they say that they're 5 000 years they probably could be 10 000 years old because the stone is just the climate just keeps them whereas in england it's raining and it's very similar to you so um the stone is eroding way quicker and they just look they just look like old sacred like merlin rocks um yeah but yes stonehenge is super impressive and when you see it you're like how did how did they move these and transport these like this is how like yeah and at what point did humans stop like that doing that doing that and being like you know what maybe we shouldn't log this rock 500 miles maybe maybe we shouldn't do that today brad like it was i think it has to do with like hierarchy back in the day we didn't necessarily have like leaders as in kings and like things like that we worked together we had we had a common goal so we came together and we worked towards a common goal eventually we got like hierarchies we got kings and like back leaders and people in charge but when someone's in charge you don't necessarily want to work that hard for them you want to work hard for yourself so like you stop working together as well because i always think now i'm doing more and more research into ancient history i think that stuff is a lot older than we ever think it is i think that the dates that we've put in like mod when we like modern date something chances are that the that the monument is older if not the site is older well it this goes like into my personal hypothesis that i'm like working on what i will keep working on for like the upcoming year yeah radiocarbon dating isn't foolproof they know that scientists know that and they don't mind like telling that you know radiocarbon dating might be wrong there are other means of dating that we currently don't use that much because it's very expensive and very difficult but radiocarbon dating doesn't necessarily give you the real date in ireland you had at carrollmore megalithic cemetery there was a swedish archaeologist that did radiocarbon dating and he came with a date of 7000 bce for dolmen everyone says that's not possible it was like two two dates one it was 7000 bce and one was 6 500 bce and they call it outliers and like that's not possible i personally think it's possible it's very possible dockerland was still there like dockerland it was doggerbank it was all like going down at that time point in time so it's possible that they started building that goldman to show that hey we're still here we're doing our thing we're just relocating our stuff you know yeah probably quick move it out move it move it exactly move it to the hills because of that like old day they say yeah what radiocarbon dating isn't foolproof then how can you try and tell me that like uh newgrange or like north or stonehenge how can you tell me that those are the correct dates factual because it's not factual because you don't know for sure because radiocarbon dating doesn't necessarily work yeah so my personal hypothesis is that what if all these monuments that we see today are reconstructions of older monuments in the same location because we we reconstructed new grange we reconstructed north what if in like three four five thousand years from now they stumble upon newgrange and north and they radiocarbonate that and they say oh hey it's built in like what 1965 yeah yeah that's the date you're gonna get it's not gonna be older because you you reconstructed it so all these monuments could possibly be reconstructions of ancient monuments like predating by thousands of years yeah and that's when you say like maybe the pyramids are older it's possible we just don't know i think seeing the pyramids up close and seeing egypt and everything i was i was unsure whether i just wanted the pyramids to be older or whether i logically believed that they could be older and i sway between them but there is something about the way the pyramids are built and constructed that looks nothing like the rest of the middle egyptian constructions and the kingdom yeah it just doesn't look like it on the ground and the it's true um the the older older older egyptian stuff or the stuff that's attributed to the older egyptians they just had a different style they could do bigger bricks and i do think that they were at the older sites and the way that like the sphinx is i think the sphinx is a modern carving and there's restorations on there but the actual rock that was originally there was was i mean locally they say it goes back 50 000 years yeah before they started carving the rock the rock was a very special place because of energy and to their culture and religion it was very important so i think like the same thing stonehenge was probably a place before it was a place and stonehenge could have been like woodhenge because you also have like woodhenge near during some walls so like it could have been a hinge made of wood for thousands of years that kept being rebuilt and rebuilt and rebuilt and eventually they traveled the blue stones from wales to the location and they set up the first circle of blue stones and they still probably had like the woodhenge surrounding it and eventually they thought yeah this wood ain't gonna work we keep rebuilding let's get stones and so they went to the marlborough downs and they got the stones yeah it makes total sense that these places have a certain significance and they've had that certain significance for thousands of years so why not have monuments that kept being rebuilt are they places like karnak in egypt and or in um all of the inca stuff that's definitely been built over the older stuff like it's the it's the pattern that's being repeated again and again all around the world i that's why i would love to see what's under dogger bank because if duggar bank was such a cosmopolitan place of where everybody like was living for thousands of years yeah what could be under there like the the artifacts what could we find but like even this this is a fist act wow it's an axe it's like you see it as a stone if you were walking around the beach you were like ah hey stone i'd kick it this was carved from flint this was one of the most important objects they had but like the artifacts are insane skulls of like huge animals like it's it's just terrifying the animals they had in terms of yeah i think before um i really started to research history i had that weird thing where i i kind of thought people in the past were not as either intelligent or emotionally intelligent as as us i just assume that we're the best and we're the cleverest people because we have iphones and now i'm looking back i'm like oh no that actually some people were way more intelligent or in tune with the nature and the world and and i feel like we're getting dumber as time goes by this the phones they're fun like absolutely they're fun they're handy they're neat i don't have to like skim through like hundreds of pages in encyclopedias like it's wonderful to have it all in a phone but as i get older and i'm like turning 30 in november as i get older i feel like everyone around me is getting dumber and that might be like it's it sounds weird but like where is like the knowledge where are the intellectual people in like the majority i feel like the majority is not that intellectual anymore we're losing our um how do you say that dutch brain um oh my god and in between i can speak because i go in english and in english i can speak because i want to go in dutch i get exactly what you're saying though you're like i feel like we are collectively losing like iq or like awareness it's awareness yeah and and like our our instincts i feel like we're losing our instincts because we survived as a species for hundreds and thousands of years we've developed we've became we became knowledgeable we became strong we became intellectual and then over time now that we're getting lazy with like the phones and stuff i feel like we're losing that sense of like instinct my boyfriend and i did like this was one of the reasons that we started like really talking my boyfriend and i didn't like a sort of experiment we i read somewhere that in your sleep when someone like holds a hand over your face but not touching you but like close enough to be like in your aura so like in your personal space of the sense of your brain that you would wake up and i tried this with him a couple times and every time i did it he woke up and he's like why why are you trying to touch me i wasn't i didn't even want to but like i was just testing if it's true and he kept waking up like annoyed why do you want to touch me like how do you know you were fast asleep i clapped i made sounds before like i was checking if you were asleep he was fast asleep and he woke up every time because i be i came into his personal space while he was sleeping that's a natural instinct that we've had for hundreds and thousands of years probably back from like if we were apes or not you know what i mean like it goes back that far we didn't have shelter for thousands of years for hundreds and thousands of years we lived in caves but like who's to say that a bear wouldn't walk into a cave where you were sleeping you need to wake up and like be ready to protect yourself i think that's one of the oldest instincts we have yeah the sense of even when our parts of our brain are in off mode we still have like a running security center that makes sense and i have the same feeling where you have um the echo of an old old technology or skill we used to have so whenever you you know when you feel like oh my goodness i just i feel like someone isn't okay or i thought about this person yeah and i feel and then they call you or you see them and you're like right hold on that's weird i was just thinking about you and i just had a horrible feeling that you weren't all right and there's nothing that would have made me think that apart from the feeling and i think that there was definitely back in the humans had an ability to communicate yeah and what we've done is that we've replicated it today with technology like wi-fi and the internet and phones and so we can communicate did we've made like a digital version of what essentially we could do and i think we have everybody has this tiny tiny remnant of it but we just brush it off as like that's weird anyways just like deja vu yeah just like deja vu i've had deja vu moments so often in my life like i dream and then the next day it happens it's annoying it like gets to the point of okay i just want to dream something fun and like make that come true but like that doesn't happen like deja vu is also like an old instinct i feel like it's your brain and your body letting you know that something's about to happen to prepare you for it so that when it does happen you know how to handle it because like handling situations can be quite difficult you know i'm exactly with you on that one so i think in in conclusion we're getting dumber and i think that more respect needs to be given to the past and also another thing i think the number two thing i think shouldn't happen is assume that everybody in the past does everything for religious reasons or spiritual reasons i think that there is if if you don't let's just not assume that let's just take that off there okay they did this it's not everything is a temple yeah or they built this what if it wasn't religious let's look at it now and actually sometimes things make way more sense when they're functional rather than spiritual or religious and yeah so the same thing like looking at stonehenge or looking at any place in the world and be like what if it wasn't just a religious thing what if it was functional oh interesting if you look at modern times where do people come together most community spaces work spaces things like that why do we call everything that's old a temple yeah what if it's just like this is our community workspace yeah it was a wee world with stonehenge yeah the stonehenge was a wework basically yeah yeah probably but so in conclusion with joggerland it's it's hard because there's not a lot of information there's a lot of speculation because there's no money to really go into the north sea and look for it and as you said before the north sea is basically mud so even if they sent things down you can't see a lot because anything that would be under there like a henge or whatever um or an obelisk or if anything it would be like buried with silt yes big layer would be so hard to even find but things like that would be interesting to keep finding would be like jewelry because they found that uh denzinovian uh bracelet yeah they're gonna denisovan bracelet yeah and that has like a drill mark in it which is amazing and they're looking they're comparing the drill marks of the denzinovian 4000 40 000 year old bracelet and they're comparing it with the drill marks found in ancient egypt and it's like there could be just something like that sitting at the bottom of the doggerland that would be like whoa so whether it's tools jewelry whatever um a new breed of mammoth bone i don't know but it keeps it keeps my brain active because when people go what's the point of researching ancient history a drill hole things with drill holes things with drill holes like and they're quite pristine yeah they're quite pristine like this the first one is like 9 000 years old that's mad that's bad and it's it's insane yeah i don't know how to do that i get again all this all our skill set is just being lost um yeah it's crazy but the things like dog land give me hope for loads of reasons because it it shows that we don't know what we're talking about 100 of the time because there are stuff that's been lost to us recently um that we know was there but we can't fully work out uh it makes things like story ancient stories like atlantis have way more credit because it happened in multiple places so when you have ancient stories in history that predate the doggerland one because the plato story was from before the dogoland a tsunami and situation um it but it just gives them a hot load of credit because their credibility because it feasibly could have happened so that kind of eggs me on to keep researching more and more about ancient history because it's all we're all building a big big big big picture of the world we're puzzling we're doing a jigsaw we're doing a jigsaw and we're just we just have like we probably have 25 of the pieces at this point we don't have 75 percent like at least 75 percent we just don't know it's not we will we will we will and and yeah i think it's also important to look back because if things really do happen on a cycle then it's you know it's important to know if there was a huge underwater landslide because of melting glaciers and then we're heating up the world again or the world's heating up right now yes there was a second one and things and yeah it could happen yeah food for thought um yes 100 so uh for people following uh watching this and want to follow you where would they find you on the internet they would find me on youtube.com history with kaylee and i've got like all my social medias on twitter i'm kaylee history and instagram and tick tock and history with kaylee history with kaylee so if they type that in they're going to find you somewhere um because yeah you post a lot you post regularly i you've been you have been like working uh i've been trying yeah you've got such a library of videos and you cover lots of different parts of history as well you're not just zoned in on one area um i guess my passion my passion absolutely is like stone architecture from like the neolithic but i do love ancient egypt and i love like looking into the lives of ancient queens or theories or like new discoveries in the archaeological world yeah yeah i love that um brilliant thank you very much and we we we'll have to do this again and we'll pick another one there's maybe a little bit more to talk about because dog land is um well it's underwater in it so it's been hard but maybe it's underwater but maybe yeah we can we can debate some ancient conspiracy theories or something like that thanks guys for watching make sure that you like and go follow whichever side you are on there and we'll see you guys in the next video happy hunting
