A scientific exploration of the advanced ancient civilization known
as Doggerland or Fairland that disappeared 5,000 years ago. New
marine archaeological evidence has revealed the remains of a large
land mass to the north of Britain that hosted an advanced
civilization 1,000 years before the recognized “first”
civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, or India. Remembered
in Celtic legends as Tu-lay, and referred to by geologists as
Doggerland or Fairland, this civilization began at least as early
as 4000 BC but was ultimately destroyed by rising sea levels, huge
tsunamis, and a terrible viral epidemic released from melting
permafrost during a cataclysmic period of global warming. Exploring
the latest archaeological findings and recent scientific analysis
of Doggerland’s underwater remains, Graham Phillips shows that
this ancient culture had sophisticated technology and advanced
medical knowledge. He looks at evidence detected with remote
sensing and seismic profiling of many artificial structures,
complex settlements, gigantic earthworks, epic monoliths, and huge
stone circles dated to more than 5,500 years ago, preserved beneath
the ground and on the ocean floor. He examines evidence of
Doggerland’s high-temperature technology, showing how its people
were able to melt solid rock to create vitrified structures far
stronger than concrete, a technique that modern science cannot
replicate. He looks at the small part of the Fairland land mass
that still exists: Fair Isle, a tiny island some 45 miles north of
the Orkney Islands of Scotland. Phillips shows how, when Fairland
sank beneath the waves around 3100 BC, its last survivors traveled
by boat to settle in the British Isles, where they established the
megalithic culture that built Stonehenge. Revealing the vast
archaeological evidence in support of the existence of Doggerland,
as well as its threads of influence in early cultures around the
world, Phillips also shows how the fate of this sophisticated
ancient culture is a warning from history: the cataclysmic events
that happened to the first civilizations could happen again as the
world heats up.
