1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: And welcome back to Coast to Coast George Norri with

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 2: you were going live to the United Kingdom. Graham Phillips

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 2: back with us. Who was just with me several months

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: ago as we talked about his latest work called Strange Fate,

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 2: An Extraordinary true Story of paranormal Discovery. Well, he's got

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: a new one out called The Mystery of Doggerland Atlantis

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 2: in the North Sea. He's one of Britain's best selling

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: nonfiction authors for forty plus years, has published at least

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: eighteen books worldwide. These include investigations into the death of

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: Alexander the Great, The Secret Life of William Shakespeare, The

12
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: Mystery of King Arthur. His books also cover his search

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: for historical relics such as the Holy Grail, the Ark

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: of the Covenant, the Staff of Moses. Graham has been

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 2: described as a historical detective, a modern day adventurer, and

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: a real life Indiana Jones. Graham. Always love having you

17
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: on the program.

18
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: Welcome back, Oh thanks George, great to be back on again.

19
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: You think the Ark of the Covenants and Ethiopia and

20
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,319
Speaker 2: that church like everybody says, well, the.

21
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 3: Real weird thing about the Ark of the Covenant, there

22
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 3: seems to have been two of them. There's one that's

23
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 3: mentioned being made at Mount Sinai when Moses goes up

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 3: the mountain and gets the Ten Commandments. That's eventually put

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 3: into the Jerusalem Temple, which is particular which is specifically

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 3: built to contain it. That's around about one thousand BC.

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: And then when Solomon, who has the temple built, dies,

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: his two sons end of argain with each other. Are

29
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 3: the kingdom breaks in two, and supposedly, according to the

30
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: Ethiopian tradition, one of the sons of Solomon had a

31
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 3: replica arc made put into the temple in order to

32
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 3: fool the temple guardians that it was still there, and

33
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 3: took the original one to Ethiopia. So the things to

34
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: be two arcs. One seems to have ended up in Ethiopia.

35
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 3: One then ends up in the area around Petra, which

36
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: is in Jordan in the Sinaid wilderness, and both of

37
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: them are vanished.

38
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: So truly amazing. Now, your new book is called The

39
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: Mystery of Doggerland. First of all, what is Doggerland.

40
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: Well, it's the name of an area of dry land

41
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 3: that once connected what's now the British Isles to continental Europe, France, Germany,

42
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: and Scandinavia. You probably know that during the Ice Age,

43
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: when sea levels were lower, there was a land bridge

44
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: between America and what's now Russia. And this is where

45
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 3: many people kind of crossed over that landbridge and began

46
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 3: to colonize America. I mean it is, you know, many

47
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: thousands of years ago. Well nothing quite so spectacular, but

48
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: a smaller version of that joined the British Isles continental

49
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 3: Europe and it remained above sea level. Of the temperature

50
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: gradually warmed after the end of the Ice Age, and

51
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: there were still people living there who most archaeologists assume

52
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 3: were just hunter gatherers right the way through from around

53
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: about ten thousand BC. They were still there then, and

54
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: then by about seven thousand BC the water levels had

55
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: risen and the people who had lived there either drowned

56
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:46,559
Speaker 3: or managed to migrate somewhere else. But what's fascinating is

57
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: is it's just been realized that because of the pressure

58
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: of the ice that used to be over all of

59
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: Britain except for the very south, particularly over the north,

60
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 3: that the land was pushed down and then as the

61
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: ice melted, it gradually over thousands of years began to

62
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: rise again, which meant that until around as recently as

63
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 3: five thousand years ago, part of this area of land

64
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 3: that joined Britain to the continent called Doggerland, a small

65
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 3: island perhaps about the size of the state of what

66
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: it's not quite large actually, probably about the size of

67
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: the state of Rhode. Island still existed off the northeast

68
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 3: coast of Scotland. That's what Doggerland is now the.

69
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 2: North Sea for a lot of people, I'll talk about

70
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 2: the boundaries lies between Great Britain, Denmark, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands,

71
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: Belgium and France. It's six hundred miles long, it's three

72
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty miles wide. It's pretty good size, isn't.

73
00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: It, Graham, Yes, it is, but very difficult to know

74
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 3: what people were actually doing there ten thousand years ago

75
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: because that is quite now, quite deep down below the

76
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: surf of the sea. But the area that didn't sink

77
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 3: until about five thousand BC. Now that archaeologists have suddenly

78
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: been able to map the floor of the sea with

79
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: radar and sonar and other sophisticated instruments to find astonishingly

80
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 3: that there are stone circles down there similar to Stonehenge,

81
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,559
Speaker 3: but at the bottom of the sea, and very much

82
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: older than Stonehenge. And it's beginning to look as though

83
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 3: the people who eventually built Stonehenge around three thousand BC

84
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 3: originally they may have come from this island.

85
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 2: That sank interesting. How advanced might that civilization of Ben Graham.

86
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 3: Well, there's one tiny part of that civilization that brought

87
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 3: the island that still survives above sea level, and that's

88
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 3: a tiny little island called fair Isle in the North Sea.

89
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: And what's been discovered there by archaeologists is quite incredible. Firstly,

90
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: they everybody thinks that the people in Finland invented the

91
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 3: sauna around about a thousand BC. They found what must

92
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: have been functioning saunas, you know, sauna bar that are

93
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 3: seven thousand years old on this island. That's pretty amazing

94
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 3: to start off with. Secondly, they were able to build

95
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 3: sea wall defenses where they put lots and lots of

96
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: rocks and a great big pile in a great, big

97
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 3: long embankment. And then somehow nobody quite knows how they

98
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: managed to get heat going on those stones. Maybe by

99
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: burning something around them when nobody knows quite what to

100
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: vitrify the stones and make them into a solid wall

101
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: melt stone, and really you need incredibly high temperatures to

102
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: do that. These people were able to do that, and

103
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 3: the evidence is there.

104
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: Amazing, truly amazing. Why do you think the island of

105
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 2: the continent of Atlantis Dogerland disappeared?

106
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: What happened, Well, it's basically what I explain in the

107
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: book is that the publishers decided to call it Atlantics

108
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: and the north see not specifically because that was what

109
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: Plato in Greek times referred to as Atlantis, because it

110
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 3: is one of many places throughout the world that sank

111
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: beneath the waves at the end of the Ice Age. Now,

112
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: most people used to think that civilization began about five

113
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: thousand years ago with in the Middle East with the

114
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: Solerians and the ancient Egyptians and so on, and before

115
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 3: that people were just living in tiny villages. There was

116
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: nothing like civilization. But it is now known throughout the

117
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 3: world for the up many years of archaeology that there

118
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: were proto civilizations that had cities that people with as

119
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 3: many as a thousand people living in them that were

120
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: built of mud, bricks or even stone. I mean this

121
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: had been the discovery of places like Beckley Tepi in Turkey,

122
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: which is like twelve thousand years old, it seems now.

123
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: And it seems that a lot of the places that

124
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: began as proto civilizations, perhaps run shortly after the end

125
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: of the Ice Age, say twelve thousand years ago, were

126
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 3: all along the coast and the rising sea levels. They

127
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 3: were sunk beneath the waves. So I looked throughout the

128
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 3: world and found there was many different places where there

129
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 3: were traditions of and archaeological discoveries of ancient civilizations, similar

130
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: to Plato's descriptions of Atlantis.

131
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: So there may have been many many Atlantas all over

132
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: the world.

133
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, South America, North America, Europe, China, India, you name it.

134
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: They've all got their legends of the same kind of thing.

135
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: What happened to the inhabitants of most of these places?

136
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 2: Were they able to get away?

137
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 3: Well? In some places the sea levels rose gradually over

138
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 3: a period many undred years, they migrated, like hopefully, if

139
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 3: I'm right, the people who built Stonehenge had come from Dowland.

140
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: They had time to migrate, but in other places when

141
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 3: entire eye shelves collapsed into the sea and broke off

142
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 3: huge parts of certain areas, like parts of Norway and

143
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 3: parts of Newfoundland. This sent huge great tsunamis across whole

144
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 3: oceans and the drowned people overnight. This is certainly what

145
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 3: atlantis that displayto describes, which is at the mouth of

146
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 3: the Mediterranean. That seems to be what happened there.

147
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 2: Tell us about some of the discoveries made by divers

148
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: on the seasbed off the north coast of Britain.

149
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, this is fascinating because a lot of this

150
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: is still under wraps. You know, they're not publishing a

151
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: lot of what they've found at the moment because they

152
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: don't want people diving out there and treasure hunting and

153
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: wrecking the archaeology. But on mainland Orkney Aisles, which is

154
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 3: at the top north of Scotland, there's a big stone

155
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 3: circle about a good few hundred feet across. It's made

156
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 3: of It was originally made of about one hundred stones.

157
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 3: Around it is a ditch and embankment and many other

158
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: monuments around it, which has been dated as around about

159
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 3: four and a half to five thousand years old. Well,

160
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 3: they've found an identical one of these on the bottom

161
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 3: of the sea about two or three miles out from

162
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: the coast, and that has been dated basically by the

163
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 3: map that the sea level has risen since that time,

164
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: as being least two thousand years older than what was

165
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: thought to be the oldest stone circle in the British

166
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: Isles on the Orkney Aisles.

167
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: That is truly remarkable. But why do they keep it

168
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: under wraps?

169
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: Well, I don't want people to make that. It got

170
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: a lot of publicity when they first discovered this a

171
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: few years back, and they had people died going out there,

172
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: diving down thinking they were going to find treasures. But

173
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 3: the kind of the people that built these stone circles,

174
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: and we were, you know, at the time of Stonehenge

175
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 3: and maybe before that, weren't sort of making goal items

176
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 3: or silly. They weren't creating things that would be treasured

177
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: that you could sell to anyone. But this didn't stop

178
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: people thinking there might be all sorts of things down there.

179
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: So it's to stop people from destroying the well what

180
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: they found before they can fully analyze it.

181
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: How did you uncover the story ground?

182
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: Well, I was actually at the time I was. I

183
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 3: had a friend who was working on the original the

184
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: boats that were going out originally when when they were

185
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: scanning the seabed, they weren't looking for digual scientists, not archaeologists.

186
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: They weren't looking for some ancient civilization. They were simply

187
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 3: looking for buried obstacles in case there might be problems

188
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: with laying pipelines and various things out to gas and

189
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 3: oil rigs in the North Sea. It was a completely

190
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 3: it wasn't archaeological at all. But then they found this

191
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: at least three separate stone circles, the one of the

192
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: ones I mentioned, And I knew somebody who was actually

193
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: working with those scientists who said, this could be interesting

194
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 3: to you. So that's how I got to know about it.

195
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: Now, what about the possibilities that the Great Flood of

196
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: Noah might have been the catalyst for the sinking of

197
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 2: these continents or islands.

198
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 3: Well, it's certainly another one of these perhaps sunken early civilizations.

199
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: What is now known is that sometime around I mean

200
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 3: the dating is difficult, but it could be about eight

201
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: thousand years ago what is now or a little bit

202
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 3: earlier what is now the Black Sea was in fact

203
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: low lying area, and there was this barrier of land

204
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 3: separating the Mediterranean, the eastern end of the Mediterranean from

205
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 3: the Black Sea. And then literally as the gradual ice

206
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 3: smelting after the ice age and the Mediterranean kind of

207
00:13:55,559 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 3: light became, the water levels grew higher. Eventually it broke

208
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: through this barrier that divided this low land to the

209
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 3: wet to the east, and suddenly there was a waterfall.

210
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: And archaeologists and scientists have described this waterfall as being

211
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 3: something like one hundred times the size of the Niagara Falls,

212
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 3: pouring over this range embankment and filling the Black Sea

213
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 3: and flooding anyone who lived there. That could be the

214
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 3: Noah's flood.

215
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: And grammar, you convinced that the Atlantis that Plato talked

216
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: about is different from the daggerland that we're talking about

217
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: tonight in your new work.

218
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 3: Yes, the Atlantis that Plato refers to, he says quite

219
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 3: specifically is at the mouth or at what they called

220
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 3: the Pillars of Hercules, which is the Strait of Gibraltar,

221
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: which joins the Atlantics to the Mediterranean. And have actually

222
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 3: been doing research into a place that completely matches what

223
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 3: he described as being there and would have been sunk

224
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 3: by an almighty tidal wave.

225
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: Nia. Four years ago, you wrote a book called Wisdom

226
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: Keepers of stone Henge. Is it possible that the creators

227
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: of Stonehenge might have been these people who were on

228
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: these islands that disappeared.

229
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, certainly the one of Dogga Land, that's the

230
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 3: one I've done the most research into. I mean, I mean,

231
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: it's a lot of work to look into Chinese myths

232
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 3: and legends about whole cities being flooded, and then looking

233
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 3: into the same in India, and that the mains described

234
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 3: the same kind of thing. And again it makes perfect sense.

235
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 3: Early civilizations started as the Ice Age finished throughout the world,

236
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 3: but they didn't get going before they started to get

237
00:15:53,280 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 3: flooded by rising sea levels. And the certainly the one

238
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: I contemplated on most was Doggerland. And the archaeology absolutely,

239
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 3: as far as I'm concerned, proves that the people who

240
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 3: built the stone circles and the large megalithic monuments in Britain,

241
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: which includes Stonehenge, and there was a lot of other

242
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 3: monuments similar to that, they definitely came from Doggerland, from

243
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 3: this island that existed off the coast of Britmont and

244
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 3: about five thousand BC, because the stone circles that they

245
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: built were exactly the same as those that have been

246
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 3: found under the water.

247
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: Could these events that happened so many years ago happen

248
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: again today.

249
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 3: Well, it's very controversial. I mean when I say in

250
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: my book about you know, global warming, we're all experiencing

251
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: it now. I mean, it's very controversial subjects about whether

252
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 3: or off there is such a thing as global warming.

253
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: Some people swear it's real, some people swear it isn't.

254
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 3: But what I do know for certain, and all scientists

255
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: from anybody who investigated history does know that there was

256
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 3: an Ice Age and that I sage finished because somehow

257
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 3: the Earth heated up. Precisely why it heated up is

258
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 3: a complete mystery. Some people think it's because the Earth

259
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: slightly changed its orbit around the Sun. Others believe it

260
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 3: had something to do with an increased volcanic activity. There

261
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: are many explanations about why the Ice Age may have occurred,

262
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: but it did occur. It occurred and basically kept most

263
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 3: of humanity in the tropical areas of the world. And

264
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: after it finished, lots of people migrated north and started

265
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 3: and south and migrated away from the from the tropics

266
00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 3: and began to start the first civilization. Forsations hadn't really

267
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 3: got going before there was further warming again. Nobody knows

268
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 3: quite why. Remaining nice is a lot further melted and

269
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 3: these civilizations ceased. If you believe in global warming, yes,

270
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: it probably could happen again. If you don't, who knows.
