Doggerland and Sundaland

The end of the last glaciation period, some ten thousand years ago, saw the flooding of many fertile areas around the world. Two such areas are Doggerland and Sundaland. These were fertile flat lands, ideal for agriculture.

There are good reasons to believe that the lost city of Atlantis was located in Sundaland, and that this civilization was uprooted by the flooding that came with the shrinking ice shelves.

These people took their culture and religion with them to neighboring Australia and Asia. The fact that boomerangs have been found in Poland, and religious imagery found in Gobleki Tepe resemble that of Aboriginal Australians can all be explained in terms of the flooding that forced the people of Sundaland to move out of their original settlements.

The people of Doggerland were probably not as advanced as those coming from Sundaland. However, they too were more advanced than other people in their region. They too spread their culture when they were forced to find higher grounds for their settlements.
