I think it was about 4000 years ago.

In other news, sky still blue. And, I was under the impression they were separated relatively recently.

...advanced sonar survey of the sea bed of the English Channel revealed huge scour marks, deep bowls and piles of rock...

Or, maybe some jokester put a picture of Helen Thomas in their sonar readouts.

[GreyFriar]

Geology ping. H'mmmm perhaps this and not the flood that created the Black Sea is Noah's flood....:)

[HEY4QDEMS]

From a Brit's perspective being separated from France should be proof there is a God and he's smiling upon them. LOL

[M1Tanker]

New headline: "Biblical-style flood tore Britain from France. British thankfull"

[YaYa123]

Seeing this reminds me of my all time favorite reads, SARUM by Edward Rutherfurd. "Epic novel" is how it's aptly described, as it tells the tale of England isle from it's ice age beginning to modern times.

That flood saved the Brits from Hitler (not to mention the French).

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

Interesting information. I remember reading about how the Black Sea went through a catastrophic flooding once the Med broke through the Dardanelles and Bosporus. Apparently, this was in prehistory, and there were two small lakes where the Black Sea is now. Many people lived around those lakes. There was a great article in National Geographic some years ago.

And the Brits got away from the Frogs as fast as they could.

Ephraim and Manassah will always be separated from their brethren.......

"The discovery of the Channel flood may help to solve one of the enduring mysteries of British archeology - the apparent abandonment of the British Isles by humans for 120,000 years.

Researchers have found that humans first arrived in Britain at least 700,000 years ago. They were driven out by repeated glaciations but returned whenever the land warmed up. They vanished completely between 180,000 and 60,000 years ago.

And, to hear certain Europeans tell it, humans still haven't returned to the British Isles.

[mtbopfuyn]

Oh, sure. A 24 hour flood but they can't decide if it took place 200,000 or 400,000 years ago.

[petertare]

Interesting how science makes constant changes of what it previously arrogantly cited as "fact"

Evolution/creation/Pluto/cold fusion/this then that

I am exhausted.

[indcons]

Ping?

[tophat9000]

The question is where did the water that flow to the sea, that fast with that much force come from? Wouldn't a glacier be more likely to cut out the channel... you might have had as the ice age glacier retreated back up the channel to the north and ice dam form to hold back water for a final flood

[Lurking in Kansas]

...instantly turned Britain from being a peninsula of continental Europe into a separate entity, changing forever the way it would develop.

Ya think?

*yawn*
