Doggerland, feem ntau hu ua Pob Zeb Hnub nyoog Atlantis ntawm teb chaws Aas Kiv los yog lub vaj prehistoric ntawm Eden, tau ntev piqued cov kev txaus siab ntawm cov kws tshawb fawb. Tam sim no, cov thev naus laus zis niaj hnub tau nce mus rau qhov chaw uas lawv txoj kev xav yuav dhau los ua qhov tseeb.

Doggerland raug suav hais tias tau nyob ib puag ncig 10,000 BC, thiab cov cuab yeej siv niaj hnub no yuav pab tau kev tshawb fawb tob hauv kev nkag siab txog lub neej zoo li cas rau cov tib neeg prehistoric nyob hauv thaj av kom txog thaum dej nyab loj heev nyob rau sab av loj ntawm 8,000 thiab 6,000 BC.

Nyob rau hauv North Hiav Txwv, Doggerland ntseeg tau tias ib zaug ntsuas kwv yees li 100,000 square mais (258998 square kilometers). Txawm li cas los xij, qhov kawg ntawm Ice Age pom kev nce siab hauv hiav txwv thiab nce cua daj cua dub thiab dej nyab hauv cheeb tsam, ua rau Doggerland maj mam txo qis.

Qhov chaw yog paub txog kev muab cov pob txha tsiaj prehistoric thiab, rau qhov tsawg dua, tib neeg seem thiab khoom qub. Los ntawm kev siv seabed mapping archaeologists thiab cov kws tshawb fawb los ntawm University of Bradford tau taug qab cov kev hloov pauv hauv thaj chaw qub ntawm Doggerland.

Lawv tau txiav txim siab tias kev hloov pauv huab cua tau txo qis thaj chaw ntawm Doggerland ntau heev uas nws tau tig los ntawm thaj chaw loj mus rau ib lub koog pov txwv, thiab tom qab ntawd nws thiaj li raug siv los ntawm cov dej nyob ib puag ncig ntawm 5,500 BC.

Tshwj xeeb, tsunami ntawm 5 meters (16 ko taw) nthwv dej, teeb tsa los ntawm kev tawg loj heev nyob ze Norway, yog tus neeg ua txhaum hauv kev puas tsuaj uas ua rau tib neeg nyob hauv Doggerland, raws li kev tshawb fawb qhia los ntawm Imperial College hauv 2014.

Sib nrug los ntawm kev kos duab hauv hiav txwv, cov nkoj tshawb fawb hauv kev tshawb fawb ntxiv kuj tseem raug xa tawm mus sau paj ntoos, kab, cog thiab tsiaj DNA (siv sedaDNA thev naus laus zis), nrog rau cov khoom cuav kom pom cov duab zoo dua ntawm toj roob hauv pes, kev ua neej, thiab tib neeg siv Doggerland. tuaj yeem nthuav tawm.

Raws li tus thawj coj tshawb fawb, xibfwb Vince Gaffney ntawm University of Bradford, txoj kev tshawb no yuav muab cov nyiaj them poob haujlwm loj ntawm kev nkag siab txog kev hloov pauv ntawm Northern Europe los ntawm Pob Zeb Hnub nyoog tib neeg.

Thaum kawg ntawm txoj kev tshawb no, cov kws tshawb fawb tau lees paub tias thaj av sunken yog ib feem tseem ceeb ntawm Tebchaws Europe. Lub cheeb tsam tau nthuav tawm txog 12,000 xyoo dhau los, thaum dej khov tau nres thaum kawg ntawm lub hnub nyoog dej khov kawg. Doggerland tau nyob ntawm nws qhov siab thaj tsam ntawm ntau txhiab square kilometers thiab txuas nrog tam sim no British Isles nrog cov teb chaws Europe.

Thaj chaw no tau ua raws li ntau txhiab xyoo. Nws yog ib qho chaw dav, densely wooded lowland inhabited los ntawm ntau hom tsiaj. Tsis tas li ntawd, cov kws tshawb fawb tseem nyob ntawm qhov kev lees paub tias cov cheeb tsam no tau nyob hauv tib neeg. Nws yog Doggerland uas yuav tsum tau tsiv teb tsaws chaw los ntawm Tebchaws Europe mus rau thaj chaw ntawm tebchaws Askiv tam sim no, qhov chaw lawv tau nyob.

Txog tam sim no lawv tsis tau lees paub qhov no, tab sis, raws li lawv hais, feem ntau yuav nyob ze yav tom ntej. Qee lub sij hawm hauv Doggerland lawv yuav ntsib cov kab ntawm cov neeg nyob hauv prehistoric.

Peb paub tseeb tias peb tab tom nrhiav kev daws teeb meem. Tus naj npawb ntawm keeb kwm artifacts los ntawm cheeb tsam no qhia peb tias muaj ib yam dab tsi nyob ntawd. Tam sim no peb tau txheeb xyuas thaj chaw uas cov Mesolithic saum npoo av yog nyob ze rau ntawm ntug hiav txwv. Peb tuaj yeem siv cov khaub ncaws los yog grapple kom tau txais cov qauv loj ntawm qhov chaw no.

Yog li ntawd, nws tsis yog lig dhau thaum peb yuav pom cov ncauj lus kom ntxaws txog lub neej ntawm cov neeg nyob hauv keeb kwm yav dhau los uas tau nyob hauv thaj chaw Doggerland txog 6,000 xyoo.
