Wonderful exhibition and thank you for making this available on youtube. Its a great testament to the passion and excitment felt by so many as we seek to connect with our ancestors and understand their lives.
I love that they'd made a display of the people who collected the finds, that's important - that don't get lost or forgotten. Great video, Thanks to History with Kayleigh for directing me here.
What a wonderful exhibition! Thank you so much for sharing this, and what a tribute to the "citizen scientists" and amateur archaeologists who wander the shores of the Netherlands. It's time for my family to make a return visit to Leiden as soon as circumstances permit, I think! But the disappearance of Doggerland has lessons for us in the time of a climate emergency which will affect all of us in the coming centuries.
Wunderbar! Thank you for making it accessible in English. How refreshing to see locals willing to forgo potential sale of finds on eBay, rather contributing towards a collective effort of discovery. Love Luc's enthusiasm for his field of study. Push on!!
Greetings from the other side of Doggerland on the North East coast of England. Occasionally here following a severe storm and low tide the remains of some of the Doggerland Forest are revealed on the beach-mainly peat, roots and trunks. All very fascinating and those animation panels look amazing. Just wish I could visit-hope you keep it open until the world returns to some form of normality.
Marvellous. Directed here by an article. A people who made fire, and tools from everyday objects with the ease at which we surf the web. Not primitive just antecedents that lived well in their own time with skills a child would have mastered that the average adult in our period would find impossible.
Wonderful! Online guided tours are a great way of "visiting" places from the comfort of an armchair, unfortunately they aren't as popular today as ten years ago. This tour was severely limited to what I am sure was just a relative few highlights and there would be many more I am unlikely to ever see so I hope the future will see this tour extended. Also, now could be a good time to start making collections of artifacts for museums of the future from Liverpool and other coastal areas of Britain reckoned to be under water in 50 to 80 years at current rates of sea level rises...
This is a real lost world. Sort of like prehistoric Atlantis. I am very curious about further discoveries and reconstructions of nature and people's life in this area. Such well-preserved artifacts will surely reveal many more secrets.
West side of Uilst island Scotland, there is a roundhouse where "mummys" were buried/created first. Six people comprised two mummies. The mummies showed signs of being submersed in acidic soil/peat & in dry arid sand. ((The mummies of six persons were CREATED prior to internment "as two whole bodies" on Uist and prior to the roundhouse being built.)) Could this be the same time as the Storegge flooding of Doggerland?
If you believe that it will take 700 years for the sea level to rise 9 meters, a seawall of that height could obviously, and easily, be built. Even now.
"The Neanderthalers lived there for a whole lot longer than we do, today" You bet, they held out for 100s of millennia, we will only make it to about 30K years max. Even if we stick to the plans to stop emitting carbon by 2050, most of what is known as the Lowlands by the Sea, Will be history by 2300. No doubt, museums by then will have very interesting exhibitions of how the Dutch managed to keep the Sea out for centuries, until the Big One* hit. * that one time, after weeks of rain along the Rhine, the river flood arrived at Rotterdam & Zeeland just at the moment of spring tide at sea and a North West storm over former Doggerland. Splash !!
There is something to say for that, in that a large swath of land and possibly one of the richest hunting grounds has been lost in thinking about Pleistocene Europe. On the other hand, what we know of Neanderthals archaeologically and genetically is that they lived in small groups and were highly mobile.
So good and then he had to spoil it with the man made warming lie. Perhaps Holland should just let the seas take over their country instead of building it up. That should bring those imaginery sea levels down a bit.
Very interesting..thanks so much...

Thank you for your positive comment Susan!

I hope this exhibition will come to the UK at some point.

amazing exhibition, thx for doing this video !
Who ever filmed this was a superb camera person - great angles and various depths on field. Great job.

My thoughts, too.
We share so much! Forget the craze and realize you are welcome!
i live in Leiden there is even a myth that of the coast of Leiden/Katwijk there is a sunken roman fort called brittenburg
Thank you from Canada. I wish I could visit the exhibit in person!
Wonderful exhibition. Really enjoyed the talk and enthusiasm shown
I do hope you get all the support you need. I most certainly will be visiting when I can. Love from the other side of the pond
How fascinating! Yes, it would be great to see the exhibition in the UK. And I loved the enthusiasm of the young curator!
This blew my mind, thank you so much everyone involved and for the clear and concise explanations of Luc Amkreutz. What a privilege to view this.
Excellent video and presentation. Thanks

Fascinating... thank you!
Excellent! Thank you for presenting this to us.
Excellent video thankyou.
A marvellous exhibition, one that truly shows the UK belonging as part of Mainland Europe 😃
No, no, no, we are English, Island dwelling.
@@Paul_C well since Doggerland sunk and until the tunnel was dug, of course...
Great exhibition, I`d love to see it in the UK at some point.
Wonderful! Thank you from Florida.
Love this stuff....will we one day be able to see .....? hate to contemplate a future where so much is lost.....
Amazing how many artefacts have been found. Excellent tour, thank you for sharing.
Splendid presentation of an extraordinary exhibition!
Greetings from your northern Sea going brothers
🇳🇱🇩🇰🍻
Ik ga hier woensdag naartoe! Veel zin in!!
What a brilliant exhibition and discussion. I do hope it travels to the UK soon. Maybe will help better publicising the Global Climate Emergency
Fantastic. Really puts things into perspective.
So interesting and inspiring! Especially in the context of Brexit. I hope this becomes a permanent exhibition.
Imagine how much else is down there, mindblowing
Super interesting.
Fascinating. A bit worrying for the Low Countries and coastal low-lying areas of the UK.
A huge success and evidence that "Citizens Science" programs can produce fantastic results. Super lekker.
Wonderful.
🦋WOW🦋ThankYou💙🙏💙
Excellent! Thanks for sharing it.with today's pandemics it's the only way to visit this exhibition.regards from Argentina
Really interesting finds! And well exposed to the people.
Thank you for watching!

Awesome ,
a Woodhenge from this period was found on the north Notfolk coast.
Nice
This video only shows glimpses of interesting videos whch are in the exhibit. Are they available online?
No not yet. We're planning to share them on our social media accounts, so stay tuned!

Must Farm in Whittlesey Cambridgeshire has some Doggerland items
Might not the sinking of Doggerland and so much coastline be the reason why we imagine there were so few Neanderthals? 🤔
There is something to say for that, in that a large swath of land and possibly one of the richest hunting grounds has been lost in thinking about Pleistocene Europe. On the other hand, what we know of Neanderthals archaeologically and genetically is that they lived in small groups and were highly mobile.
Sea levels have NOT 'been stable for a long time' - they've been rising since the last ice age.
Neanderthal and Netherland... hmm?
