The Great Flood Before History: When the Ice Age World Drowned | Sleep History Documentary
What if the Great Flood was not only a myth, but a memory of a real ancient catastrophe? In this calm Sleep History Documentary from Calm History Nights, we journey back nearly 12,000 years to the end of the last Ice Age, when melting glaciers, rising seas, collapsing ice dams, and massive glacial floods reshaped the world our ancestors knew. Sea levels rose by roughly 400 feet, drowning ancient coastlines, swallowing lost lands like Doggerland and Sundaland, and perhaps leaving echoes in Great Flood myths across the world. This long, slow, atmospheric documentary is designed for relaxation, deep listening, and sleep, while exploring the science, history, archaeology, and mythology of one of humanity’s most haunting ancient memories. 00:00:00 INTRO: The World Did Not End in Fire.
