They must have been really good swimmers.

Pre-historical global warming drowned vast regions of European low lands, such as the North Sea where Britain was linked to the Continent. Must have been all those Fred Flintstone SUVs and the evil paleolithic corporate giants.

One site dates back to the late Mesolithic period (8,500 to 5,000 years ago), while the other, found further out to sea at the end of a of a long, rocky outcrop which would have once been a small cliff face, is thought to be early Mesolithic (8,500 to 10,000 years ago). Both sites would once have been on dry land but have been gradually submerged as sea levels rose following the end of the last Ice Age.

Blam, I knew it was you when I read the Headline.
Do you suppose that they had "Global Warming" that raised the sea level?
Did those humans produce too much Co2?
(I lived on the Eastern Shore of the Bay in Daphne)

Wow. Another advancement in the field of science.

"Do you suppose that they had "Global Warming" that raised the sea level?"

Sure. The same global warming we have now. We're not out of the last ice age yet.

Daphne is a nice area, I'm on the west bay.

Kinda makes you wonder what other ancient civilizations are now submerged?

[Down South P.E.]

..... a very big flood would just about do it.

We know that there is a prehistoric Atlantis beneath the North Sea where once an area equal to the size of present day Britain attached us to the continent and where prehistoric people and animals roamed.'


ATLANTIS FOUND!

I wonder what the climate was like up that way about 10,000 years ago. The English channel must have been a creek about that time.

"I wonder what the climate was like up that way about 10,000 years ago. The English channel must have been a creek about that time."

I'm sure the answer is on the internet...but, I'll accept that it was a creek...maybe a small river.

That's what they deserve for driving SUVs.
