’Britain’s Atlantis’ found at bottom of North Sea
– a huge undersea world swallowed by the sea in 6500BC

•  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

“I like a good story well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself.”
