What Happened to Doggerland - Europe's Missing Country

Doggerland was an area of land, now submerged beneath the southern North Sea, that connected Great Britain to continental Europe. It was flooded by rising sea levels around 6500–6200 BCE. Geological surveys have suggested that it stretched from what is now the east coast of Great Britain to what are now the Netherlands, the western coast of Germany and the peninsula of Jutland.

I was in an airport and was stopped by security because they heard a ticking sound. They thought it was a bomb so i had to explain that it was just someone's YouTube channel and at any minute it was going to explode in popularity.


I need bail money by the way.






Also this is a joke. I'm actually at home in bed.

If Doggerland was still around in WW2, the nazis would have invaded it. Would give them a supply of oil & route to Britain.
Imagine how intense that front would have been

Just keep on making good content like this, eventually the youtube algorithm will cause your channel to explode in popularity!

“Migrated to highlands like...” “the Netherlands”!

Great content man you deserve way more subs for this quality

[hamtaroo]

Great video!! Just a little comment, it's called the "Storegga slide" not "Stogerra slide". Anyways, keep up the good work and you'll see that the subs will come in!

Ive created a badass alt history map where Doggerland came back in the 1800s. But it needs a name change.
If it came back & was settled by the Brits, Germans, Dutch & became a country, what would its country name be?

[bentepetersen]

great explanation and very good illustrations of same

Doggerland sounds like place where sea dogs and pirates hangout. Jack Sparrow for Prime minister. I all seriousness I imagine it would become a superpower as an Island. At first seeing as it is closest to the UK, I imagine Britain would claim most of it with portions of it split between The Netherlands, Germany and Denmark possibly Norway too. Eventually it may become an independent super power. Could become interesting if it happens, won't be for at least 30 years and I would be about 74 all being well. I'd love to see it happen though.

Interesting video! That would give the tale about Vineta an interesting twist... (Vineta is sort of the Baltic Sea version of Atlantis. It's not exactly clear where it was/where whatever the tale is based on was.)

Extracting C.O.2 from the air in order to slow dwn ice melting might be cheaper and less complicated?

[shanespeth]

Lol it seems as when ppl retreated from doggerland to the Netherlands they had it in there genes to avenge doggerland and reclaim the sea someday

I feel the “classic” American automakers are in decline because they a resistant to change, except Ford as they are the only ones coming out with new, actually good models like the bronco and the mustang Mach e. As Tesla’s cars get cheaper and more affordable, they will become known as a dominant American brand. I think right now, Japanese cars are the most reliable however, they are terrible to work/fix them because of poor engine bay design and placement. (It is where the cost cutting is). European cars, mainly German cars are not known to be super reliable like they used to be. Their electronics fail often and are the most expensive to upkeep. The whole auto industry is changing and I feel all automakers are at risk if they are resistant to change. Unfortunately, most American brands are resistant to change.
