Hidden Doggerland underworld uncovered in North Sea

A huge area of land which was swallowed up into the North Sea thousands of years ago has been recreated and put on display by scientists.

Doggerland was an area between Northern Scotland, Denmark and the Channel Islands.

It was believed to have been home to tens of thousands of people before it disappeared underwater.

Now its history has been pieced together by artefacts recovered from the seabed and displayed in London.

"an area between Northern Scotland, Denmark and the Channel Islands"?

Is that not called "England"?

Doggerland, soon to be twinned with Catalonia.

You need to work on the titles? If they sink like a brick it is usually the title doing it? :smoke:

No, like most of England, it's just land gone to the dogs.
