Theory Briefing
- Doggerland, a vast landmass once connecting Britain and Germany, was swallowed by the North Sea around 6500 BCE — a real catastrophic flood event.
- Some researchers argue Doggerland was the inspiration for Plato's Atlantis, a thriving civilization lost beneath the waves in a single age.
- The theory challenges Atlantis as pure myth, suggesting Plato's allegory was rooted in inherited cultural memory of a genuine prehistoric disaster.
