Die Katastrophe, Die Vor 11.600 Jahren Alles Veränderte | Geschichte Zum Einschlafen

11,600 years ago, a cataclysmic event changed the Earth forever—wiping out entire worlds we barely recognize. This calming bedtime story takes you into the deepest mysteries of humanity's past. At the end of the last Ice Age, sea levels rose by over 120 meters—swallowing entire continents. Doggerland, the fertile heart of Northern Europe, sank into the North Sea. Beringia, a subcontinent between Siberia and Alaska where the ancestors of the first Americans lived for millennia, vanished forever into the Pacific Ocean. Sundaland, the tropical paradise of Southeast Asia, was buried by the rising waters. What we know today as human history is only what happened to survive on higher ground. We follow the Gulf Stream and its crucial role in shaping the climate. We understand how vast meltwater lakes suddenly burst, triggering the Younger Dryas—that icy period that reset everything. We encounter the first humans to survive in this extreme world and lay the foundation for all later civilizations. And we stand before Göbekli Tepe at the end – the enigmatic stone structure that proves our ancestors were organized and capable far earlier than previously thought.
