Ancient Apocalypse: Doggerland | Full History Documentary

Ancient Apocalypse - The Akkadian Empire: • Ancient Apocalypse: Th...
Eight thousand years ago, a lush paradise, home to mammoth, deer, and societies of hunter-gatherers, connected Britain and mainland Europe-Doggerland. But this stone-age Eden no longer exists. It was wiped out by a single devastating event, leaving it hidden beneath the waves of the North Sea for nearly 8,000 years. Slowly, archaeology is revealing what life would have been like in this Mesolithic paradise. But also, how these people struggled to survive as their world was lost beneath the waves.

What gets my goat is the fact that these humans were capible of making ornate harpoons and other thoughtfully made implements and were obviously intelligent, yet the makers of this documentary see fit to dress them in skins and raggedy shoe like coverings on their feet. Don't you think they would know how to measure and sew those skins and utilize fiber for clothing? Seriously.

[@jennifermcmillan9518]

Exactly. The Chinchurro’s in the Atacama mummified their dead, made reed mats, sewed the bodies back together during mummification as to almost real life precision after the muscles and other body parts were removed (WAY before Egyptians started the practice) and sewed their clothing and that was 9000 years ago.

They wouldn’t have been precisely sewing their clothes. They just needed them to be practical. They would have been simply covered in hides and furs with bone pins to secure them.

[@hensonlaura]

My pet peeve about documentaries like this is the hair & clothes they accord these ancient people. In a land of plenty like Doggerland, folks would have plenty of time & every inclination to fuss over their appearance. They would not all look like they've benn pulled through a hedge backward, 20 times! They would pay attention to making their clothes neat & symmetrical with touches of beauty in embellishments. Not whole untrimmed rabbit skins swinging off them at random, lol. City folk, with little practical experience in the natural world or physical common sense, becoming archeologists makes for some pretty amusing assumptions.

We have to assume ancient people were crude, and they were most certainly ignorant in the dictionary sense of the word. In fact only modern laws stop males inflicting themselves sexually onto females. Innuit peoples would throw psychopaths (kunlangeta) into the icy sea to drown.

[@brrebrresen1367]

great documentary but there was one key feature that was skipped. and that is the counter-effect of the "Post-glacial rebound". as the Ice age ended and the ice-sheet over Scandinavia melted away an enormous pressure was removed from that land and over the millennias rised "dramatically" in geological terms, and some places as much as 50mm on a year. but as the pressure was removed and the land started to rise this had an impact on the land surrounding where the ice had been because if something had been pressed down, something have to go up to compensate... and what was pressed up the most was Doggerland. and now as this gets reversed, you get land that sinks so much you could register it from year to year... then combined that with the rising sea-level. this added with that Doggerland while it had it's hills and rivers etc, it was not made of any solid ground... or more simply, it's like Denmark was just extended all over to UK. so Doggerland was doomed even without the Storegga tsunami, because the water was more or less washing over this sand and silt-based land like a tsunami already, just in very very very slow motion.

That's because 1) it is currently impossible for humans to withstand oceanic pressure past a certain depth, putting piloted vessels out of the question. And 2) the materials and technology required to craft vessels capable of withstanding such pressure are OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive. The further up you are from Earth's surface, the less you are effected by Earth's gravity. To craft a vessel capable of exploring the deepest depths of the ocean is to craft technology capable of defying the laws of Earth's gravity, as it would either have to be sturdy enough to withstand millions of tons of pressure OR somehow be able to avoid the effects of gravity as it descends.

Climate change is mostly caused by orbital mechanics and continental drift. Doggerland was above water because we were in a glacial period. As the climate warmed into the current interglacial, it submerged, just like all the land in the Gulf of Mexico. The oceans rose about 80 meters at the end of the glacial period.

No choice, We have to sacrifice some lands in Australia, if We want to recover Doggerland. Some vast inland regions of Australia are below the sea level, if We could just open some breach until them. ...! :P Lets go.

Excellent video and commentary. Thank you. Now I have to find out if these people mated with the same types (Mesolithis? Did I get the name correct?), if they moved to a secure spot in England or Germany, and if they could have interbred with Neanderthals. I don’t know if I’ve got my timeline right there. I’m getting very sleepy, and it’s messing with my cognitive abilities. Curious to see if their DNA could have crossed with any other type “pre-humans”. It would be interesting to see, if they did, what kind of people might have been created from that, then to follow the travels of these people to see where and how that could be traced and compared with modern humans. Wouldn’t it be interesting if some of us are descendants of some of them. I’m in the U.S., but my ancestry shows that so many of my ancestors came from England, Germany, Denmark and, I believe, Norway. But I imagine they would have been long gone during the intervening years. Just a thought.

[@karphin1]

Neanderthals died out some 40,000 ya, so unlikely the Dogger peoples would have met them. But other groups were in various places, so bound to have admired.

[@patriciabush4590]

Wow! GREAT INFO!😊

[@kellysouter4381]

I've heard modern humans have about 3 percent of Neanderthal DNA in our makeup

[@Idococaine69]

Mesolithic is a time period, not a species of human.

[@kgs2280]

@@Idococaine69 Yes, I’m aware. I think that perhaps I was thinking of “people from the Mesolithic period”.

Come on. Am I supposed to believe that they did not know about the Frisian islands? The Germans and Dutch have known about Doggerland for time immemorial.

[@ginojaco]

The Cheddar man's skin tone shown here has been utterly debunked; it was made darker entirely for political reasons. The actual skin tone range that came from the analysis indicated that he was probably similar in appearance to, say, the range of people seen in modern Tunisia. Other than that, a fascinating and superb documentary.

[@companionelf]

"Ancient DNA" doesn't debunk anything, because "Ancient DNA" is not real DNA. It is a computer modeled hypothetical 'reconstruction' of a genome. No physical evidence whatsoever. You have been duped by racist into believing they are actually recovering millennia old DNA from bones. It's impossible. DNA in warm open air decomposes within a few years just like all other organic matter. Sometimes in anoxic conditions like the bottom of a lake or bogg, it can last a few decades. But even that's a rare exception.

[@sharimeline3077]

😂 No one did it for political reasons, you absolute shmoo. It has not been "debunked" at all. Stop getting your "facts" from the Daily Mail.

[@silvermainecoons3269]

At least Cheddar Man had blue eyes, so you can take comfort in the fact that he had some Aryan traits even if his skin was darker than you’d like. I’m so happy you were able to hang onto some of your racist delusions. Feeling better now Buttercup? Took a look at your channel, oof! I was not wrong. 😂😂😅

The harpoon implement - could it be that a hunter had stabbed a big fish near the coast. Only for it to escape and swim away. A few years later, it died many miles away from the coast in the North Sea.

[@sharimeline3077]

That is just one artifact. There are too many others to just dismiss Doggerland.

[@bethbartlett5692]

As an individual focused on Sociology and Human Behavior I have a perspective that varies from the "Mainstream Academics/Archaeologists". They were every bit Modern Human as we are, yet they were not taught that only Physical is real, nor that their intuition was imagination. Thus they were fully aware + instinct engaged, and very pikely, like all the animal world that departs for Higher Grounds, they too would have sensed impending energies and moved to Higher Grounds. If not through intuitive instinct, they were alert to the wildlife having it and followed through having witness their gift of instinct, they paid attention to their surroundings. They were far wiser, adept at self preservation, and generally had a sharper Intelligence than the larger % of present era Humans, whom have been so influenced in their thoughts and thinking by the intentional propaganda of the "Powers that be" whom own the Media and use it as their tool for their objectives.

[@duncanidaho2097]

Uh the younger/dryas event was a brief(1,300 year long) return of cooling, then at the end the warming resumed. That didn’t cause sea levels to rise.

[@fokkenhotz1]

@16:15 but a harpoon is a water weapon so why did that spike a note?

[@sirridesalot6652]

I just love how so many documentaries use the exact same footage of supposed ancient hunter-gatherers. The clothing shown in those clips would not have protected people very well from cold.

[@2coryman]

The harpoon is from after the landmass was underwater, they were hunting whales, walruses over the sunken landmass

[@carylhalfwassen8555]

Too small

[@michaelstamper5604]

Whale harpoons weren't used until millenia after this period. They would have been iron or steel tipped. These harpoon tips were made from deer antler.
