Gee, the remnants of a large flood, now were have I heard of that before?

Hail Atlantis!

You would think that by now there would be rather tight binding between the several scientific fields aimed at discovering our past: archaeology, anthropology, geology, climatology, dendrochronology, etc.

Yet these discoveries are reported in a "Gee Whiz!" fashion without any reference to the current global climate debate.

How splintered are these peoples' brains?

Movie: "The Land That Time Forgot"

"Negotiating an underwater tunnel [beneath the ice] to gain the island's interior, those aboard U-33 are amazed to discover a tropical prehistoric world kept warm by volcanic forces. Here dinosaurs that should be long extinct live and roam, as do a curious race of humanoid savages that appear to exhibit all the various phases of Man's evolutionary development. To survive long enough to repair and replenish the U-boat, wartime enemies must put aside their differences and cooperate with one another. But not everyone is playing from the Kumbaya songbook...

The Land That Time Forgot is a thoroughly old fashioned sci-fi/fantasy adventure of the type they weren't really making anymore even in 1975. A lot of this has to do with the script sticking to Burroughs' Victorian style. (His Caprona tales were first published in 1918; as late as World War II he'd still be cranking out novels in the writing style of the 19th Century.) The film's a throwback to the likes of the original King Kong and potboilers such as Unknown Island (1948) and The Land Unknown (1957), only in color."

So, we have these Doggerlanders to thank for Al Gore. Sheesh!

thanks for posting this. It reminds me of why I like to pick up arrowheads. I can think about the human who made the arrowheads and what his life was like but in his wildest imagination he could not imagine me and my world.

It’s interesting to reflect on how the climate and land would have changed over time, from subarctic south of the ice to grassland as the ice retreated to the forests found underwater today. The mighty Channel River at some point widened into the English Channel. I wonder if some bright person might have warned of “climate change” as sea levels rose?

Britain fought two naval engagements on Dogger Bank, neither of which was very conclusive. They fought the Dutch back at the time of the American Revolution. Britain actually declared war on the Dutch for giving the Americans so much assistance.

There was also an engagement during WWI where Britain chased a German squadron back to port. Odd to think about sunken ships resting on top of possible archeological sites.
