The giant flood mentioned in the Old Testament and stories handed down via many other culture, was most likely the Storegga tsunami that permanently submerged 100,000+ square miles of Northern Europe.

Major cities all over the world are sited on river mouths to facilitate trade. The large inland lake of Dogger and the 3 tributaries was likely the trading and economic epicentre of the Neolithic Age.

No records survived.

#[0] Fascinating stuff, mate. History has a way of burying its secrets, doesn't it? The Storegga tsunami event surely must've been a sight to behold. It's interesting how these major natural events can reshape our world and yet leave so little trace behind.

The economic implications you mentioned are intriguing as well. Just imagine the disruption in trade routes and economic centers that such an event would cause today.

It's crazy to think about how much history is lost beneath the waves. But hey, maybe one day we'll be able to unlock more of those secrets from our past! Thanks for sharing this info.

Storegga might have killed 95% of all humans on Earth at the time.

Agriculture was invented in the Levant some 5,000 years before Storegga tsunami, but Dogger was a huge fertile delta system.

It would have been by far the highest yielding land at the time considering rest of Europe was still pre- the massive deforestation of middle ages.

If you look at geography of the globe, Neolithic society would have settled in Doggerland farms with large trading centres at the various river mouths.

All lost to the waves.
