Divers have found traces of ancient land swallowed by waves 8500 years ago Doggerland once stretched from Scotland to Denmark Rivers seen underwater by seismic scans Britain was not an island - and area under North Sea was roamed by mammoths and other giant animals Described as the 'real heartland' of Europe Had population of tens of thousands - but devastated by sea level rises

Britain's Atlantis' - a hidden underwater world swallowed by the North Sea - has been discovered by divers working with science teams from the University of St Andrews.

Doggerland, a huge area of dry land that stretched from Scotland to Denmark was slowly submerged by water between 18,000 BC and 5,500 BC.

Divers from oil companies have found remains of a 'drowned world' with a population of tens of thousands - which might once have been the 'real heartland' of Europe.

A team of climatologists, archaeologists and geophysicists has now mapped the area using new data from oil companies - and revealed the full extent of a 'lost land' once roamed by mammoths.

People seem to think rising sea levels are a new thing - but it’s a cycle of Earht history that has happened many many times.'

Sunkenciv indeed. Sea, this is what happens when The King isn't around to calm the oceans: the Earht (sic) succumbs to forces otherwise beyond the control of mere mortals.

Hmmm rising sea levels... we need a culprit.

Woolly mammoths must have been the prehistoric equivalent of the SUV.

The earth has been warming and cooling and the oceans have been rising and falling for 4 billion years.

Probably about the same time Elizabeth Warren’s ancestors were walking across the Bering Strait via that land bridge.

Has anybody from the “green” community commented yet on the amountof CO2 generated by Yosemite’s Rim Fire? Obviously, for the sake of the planet, we should tax forest fires — make them purchase carbon credits.

Though Gods they were -
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis!
