Witness Doggerland | 8,000 Years Lost, Found in One Word

For more than eight thousand years, a country the size of half of Germany lay forgotten under the North Sea. People had lived there for seven thousand years before the water took it. There was no language to decipher, no inscription, no hero with a key. There was only bone surfacing in fishing nets, one piece at a time. This is the story of how an entire country was recovered by ten thousand people who never met, and of the woman who, on a rainy night in 1997, gave it back its name with a single word. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Doggerland 00:20 The thread that the sea took 03:04 The land that is no longer 05:24 The Maglemosians 07:58 The waters rise 10:26 Life on the land that is shrinking 12:46 Star Carr: the window 15:09 The first to know 16:42 A submerged height 19:03 Coastlines that retreat 21:31 The retreat northward 23:52 The last island 26:08 Storegga 29:21 Those who were absorbed 31:49 The seas above the forgotten land 34:17 The trawlers and the bones 38:07 Coles finds the name 40:58 What the sea returns 45:13 The next civilization ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The Long Thread is a channel about the people who carried civilizations across time, historians, scribes, archaeologists, survivors.
