Anthropologist Brian Sykes says that the Rhine and Thames were once the same river.

Genetic studies done by professor Stephen Oppenheimer show that a genetic group was split by the 'opening' of the English Channel. This genetic split is still detectable on both sides of the Channel.

If the stupid idiots hadn’t heated with wood, they wouldn’t have created globull warming and they’d still be around today.

Obviously the global warming that overcame their communities was caused by their oil economy and addiction to SUVs.

Anthropologist Brian Sykes says that the Rhine and Thames were once the same river.

That is an odd conclusion, since each flows downhill.

Sigh.... If they had only used ONE square of toilet tissue per day.

It also serves as a warning for the scale of impact that climate change can cause, says Professor Gaffney. Human communities would have lost their homelands as the rising water began to encroach upon the wide, low-lying plains.

These must be the people who invented "moving to where the water ain't."

Somehow, I think we'll find a way to rediscover their invention as we, and our children's children's children, face the eternal changes in weather.

” protected from activities such as pipe-laying and the building of wind farms.”

Protecting the sea bottom from a wind farm? First there was NIMBY, then there was BANANA (build absolutely nothing anywhere near anything). Now we just have Luddites masquerading as scientists.

North Sea ? Bush’s fault !

North Sea

A flooded portion of the northwest continental margin of Europe occupying an area of over 200,000 mi2 (500,000 km2). The North Sea has extensive marine fisheries and important offshore oil and gas reserves. In the south, its depth is less than 150 ft (50 m), but north of 58° it deepens gradually to 600 ft (200 m) at the top of the continental slope. A band of deep water down to 1200 ft (400 m) extends around the south and west coast of Norway and is known as the Norwegian Trench.

If what this bunch is putting forth is true there should be similar evidence worldwide (at least where human populations are known to have existed simultaneously) along all/most coasts - WHICH WOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN SUBJECT TO SUBMERSION if the “rising sea level” is to blame. I suspect that tectonic plate shifts/sinking is the actual truth, being passed off as “rising sea” level to further the global warming fraud.

Apparently all the survivors of this global warming scenario were able to drive themselves out of harm’s way in their Toyota Highlanders and GMC Yukons which then were presumably dissassembled and sold for scrap, since no memory of these ancient SUVs exists today.

What the h#ll kind of archaeologist describes the discovery of a "huge prehistoric 'lost country'" as "terrifying"?

Um, hello, shouldn't he be jumping for joy at such an amazing discovery?

What a [insert that word that you can't use anymore unless you want to go to rehab]!

Prehistoric rivers, hills and valleys are mapped off the east coast

I really enjoy anthropology, archeology, history etc...but couldn't this statement be made for just about any area "under the sea" ?

Would the picture shown really represent the landscape at the end of an ice age?
I would expect snow and ice, which would then melt, thus flooding the landscape.
Am I missing somthing?

they would have had names for the rivers and hills and spiritual associations - it would have been a catastrophic loss," says Professor Gaffney.

And I'll bet one of the names, as it's come down through history to us, was Atlantis.

The professor is obviously a 'global warming' alarmist and it's really frightening to me to find a person of his academic rank who's so totally ignorant of normal, natural geological and climatological processes. Climate changes constantly, Professor Dipwad! So does terrain as it's sculpted by water and wind erosion, gouged by glaciers and shifted around by tectonics/earthquakes. Humanity's only been on Earth for a quick blink of the Cosmic Eye.

During the last ice age, Britain essentially didn't exist. It was just a highland area in northern Europe. The English Channel was a broad river valley that contained the Seine River, and to the east there was once a massive river where the Thames, the Rhine, the Elbe, and many of northern Europes lesser rivers combined into one. This huge river would have been several miles wide by the time it was done snaking across the fairly flat plain, and would have easily been one of the largest rivers on the planet.

Global Warming – So Easy Even
A Caveman Can Do It

“...protected from pipe laying and wind farms” AND drilling for oil? My husband invented the device that permitted oil recovery from the North Sea and has brought millions of $$$ of income to the British Isles. You know, none of those folks (from 8000 years ago) are alive now and I think that it is safe to drill for the much needed oil!

Archeology is a fascinating topic, but please don’t let the greens take it over.

[Publius6961]

This large plain had disappeared below the water more than 8,000 years ago.

Attention all "global warming" nutburgers!

It's happened before.
It will happen again.

Settled? Of course the issue is settled.
Anthropogenic global warming is the new religion of the truly ignorant and dense. No remedy for that. No amount of money can cure stupidity.

“Archaeologists are uncovering a huge prehistoric “lost country” hidden below the North Sea. This lost landscape, where hunter gatherer communities once lived”

And just how many artifacts have been uncovered, and classified proving that the area was once inhabited by hunter gatherers, or any body for that matter? Zero, Zilch, Nada. More manufactured junk science trying to prove were all doomed without big intrusive government.
