[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

In one of the stories in Icelandic Mythology, Thor was described as walking from Denmark or Sweden to Finland to visit Jotenheim (Home of the Giants.)

The teacher of the class I was in noted that one features of Norse Myth was that it was Grotesque; Thor could walk over the Baltic, he would walk in a Giant's Glove, then arm wrestle with the same giant. Sizes and distances were not consistent.

Based on what I see here, regarding a trip from Sweden to Finland, it may suggest a very ancient source for the story as This trip was possible at one time.

Suggesting is one thing. I don't think its possible to show that a pre-flood Northern Europe is reflected in Norse literature or oral tradition surviving 11 or 10 millennia in a pre-literary oral recollection.

I like maps.

Google turned up a larger version of that first one, and some others, I think I posted the links, but I’m not sure, I’ve dozed off about ten times, need to go to bed.

I think this is the original source: Doggerland - The Europe That Was - National Geographic. It is a nice map.

Thanks!

Thanks POF, I think someone already replied, but here goes -- the rises in sealevel took place in fits and starts, as ice dams gave way and enormous amounts of meltwater roared out into the world ocean; there were spots that were higher at one time but as the weight of the ice came off, isostatic rebound lifted the Earth's surface, while in other places (analogous to a balance scale) the surface dropped. In some places it continues to recede for various reasons. Also, the rotation of the Earth itself varied due to the shift of the weight as the glaciers disappeared.
