How Doggerland Sank Beneath The Waves (500, 000-4000 BC) Prehistoric Europe Documentary
video description
The downside of this approach, IMO, means that much of the debated material isn't flagged as such; most of the information is presented as (or implied to be) assured fact.
One example of this is the initial assertion that the mega-tsuanami didn't leave anyone alive, but then a few minutes later we're told that it might have left survivors. Of course, we just don't know. There is so much we don't know, and I think the documentary could have been a bit less 'assured' in its presentation.
That said, I did enjoy the documentary, and learned of several artefacts I'd never heard of before.

Whenever I watch these types of videos (as being sort of a sentimentalist, I always wonder who built these things that we now admire and see as our ancient, ancient past today. What life did they lead? Did they ever wonder about the greater world? Of course, people in that age were more intent on survival rather than philosphy or the grand extent of things-- but humans will always be humans, curious to a fault. I wonder what they thought when they looked up to the night skies, or when they might've look upon the vast seas. Just a little thought of mine (which I'm sure could either be debunked or exemplified, but it's always fun to wonder.

The ICe Age didn't 'kick in' 30, 000 years ago. The ice age has been running for at least 3 million years and only interspersed with short warm interludes. Great Britain has only been peopled during these warm periods except perhaps the very southern part. The last inter glacial was the Eemian some 120, 000 years ago. The end of the Eemian was marked by large gradual and erratic temperature drops, so modern humans arrived during this last great glaciation.

Thanks for your hard work on your videos. Over the last 3 years I devoured at least 150 books and your videos are on par with many authors yet your videos are grounded enough to avoid going over the heads people who hardly read in their entire live. Your videos are good watching for academics and the average Joe alike except Joe Biden who doesn't even know where he's at most of the time. Please keep up the hard wor!

To make a theory about mankinds existence with those perameters is so deceitful. We are in the dark ages of science and history. No empirical evidence based on facts just theory based on guesses. If you truly want truth based on facts and empirical evidence read Universal Model by Dean Sessions. Facts that stand the test of time. If your a truth seeker read this empirical based truth seeker.

This video basically debunks all modern day global warming theories. The Earth just goes through warming and cooling periods. Many scientists have proven that the human impact on that change is minimal, even negligible in some models. The fact that some people still believe that we could actually have an impact. it baffles me. They are like flat earthers at this point.

This documentary has too much grandstanding buildup, and not enough actual factual information for me. I know it is the modern way to tell the tale of every single bit of information but I do miss actually informative documentaries. 11 minutes in I know nothing more than when I started

The earliest ceremonial burying found in Europe; a female (possible male) buried with red ochre and laid beside mammoth (previously thought to be elephant) bones. Dating (via radiocarbon (finally, in the 1950s) to 33, 000 years ago!

This is a quality documentary. Amazing fading in and out of the theme tune. The mood throughout helps to counter the dangerously optimistic attitudes people have towards our current sea level rise crisis.

Oil from Whales was extremely expensive. I would suggest that you are completely wrong, if not preposterous, in stating that it was used to light the street lamps of London. Sloppy research. Fact check.

And all this happened long before the current climate change panic, before the global warming fear porn, before Obama bought beachfront property, and before How Dare You. ! Please stop being sheep.

So doggerland disappeared via the comet induced mega flooding of the younger dryas? Fascinating. There is a reason why all cultures have flood and mysterious lands disappearing. It happened.

At the risk of sounding like a pedantic grammar nazi. at around 24 mins you spelled it Dyras rather than Dryas. Couldn't see if anyone else had commented on it. Otherwise, fantastic program!

44: 55 Time Team did a show on the slide and the tsunami went across the Atlantic, broke the ice wall holding Canada's inland sea, and that water came back to fully cover Dogglerland.

They should put the Paviland man back in his resting place and quit calling him a lady. Especially since hes been able to contribute so much to modern understanding.

I wonder if they ever stopped to think colander was perhaps not a particularly auspicious name for a fishing trawler? Just saying, you know, colander?

Hmm, the cannibalism is (extremly) disputed. 'Decarnation' or defleshing of bones was done by many cultures and have been interpreted as ritualistic.
