'Brits Atlantis' gevonden op bodem Noordzee
Powered by weRead
Duikers hebben in samenwerking met wetenschappers van de
Universiteit van St Andrews in Schotland een verborgen wereld op de bodem van de Noordzee ontdekt.
Doggerland was een gebied dat zich uitstrekte van Schotland tot Denemarken en tussen
18.000 en 5500 voor Christus onder het wateroppervlak verdween.
Duikers van oliebedrijven hebben overblijfselen aangetroffen van een wereld die
werd bevolkt door tienduizenden en die mogelijk ooit het echte hart van Europa vormde.
Tsunami
Volgens de onderzoekers is het gebied vele duizenden jaren geleden getroffen door
een verwoestende tsunami. De vloedgolf was onderdeel van een groter proces waarbij het laagland in de loop der tijd werd verzwolgen door de zee.
De landschappen vertellen het verhaal achter Doggerland, een gebied in de Noordzee
dat ooit groter was dan veel moderne Europese landen, aldus Dr. Richard Bates van St Andrews.
Lange tijd werd gespeculeerd over het bestaan van Doggerland omdat over de hele
Noordzee botten werden binnengehaald door vissers. Pas sinds oliebedrijven duikers naar het gebied sturen kan de verloren wereld in kaart worden gebracht.
Rechtopstaande stenen
Het land bestond uit heuvels en valleien, grote moerassen en meren en rivieren
die naar de kust liepen. Terwijl het gebied langzaam onder water verdween veranderden de heuvels in geïsoleerde eilanden. Op basis van monsters die zijn genomen kunnen de onderzoekers nagaan welke dieren leefden in Doggerland en welke planten er groeiden.
Het team doet momenteel onderzoek naar vermeende menselijke graven, intrigerende
rechtopstaande stenen en een massagraf van mammoeten.
“We hebben vele artefacten gevonden die een natuurlijke oorzaak uitsluiten,
” legde Dr. Bates uit. “Het gaat onder meer om heuvels die zijn omgeven door greppels en gefossiliseerde boomstronken op de zeebodem.”

Google Lat Long: New 45° imagery available for 31 cities
Google Lat Long: New 45° imagery available for 31 cities
It’s time for another update of our 45° imagery coverage in Google Maps – this one including 26 cities in the U.S. and 5 international locations.
Albany – the capital of New York state – started as a Dutch trading post almost 400 years ago, which makes it one of the oldest European settlements in the U.S. The city has repeatedly proven to be innovative in its infrastructure by pioneering public water mains, railroads and water routes. Albany is also home to one of the world’s first commercial airports that contributed to its economic rise.

Reggio Calabria is located at the tip of the toe of Italy, separated from Sicily by the Strait of Messina, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Its history dates back more than 2,700 years when the Greeks erected a colony here. Despite its age, relatively modern architecture can be found throughout the city due to a devastating earthquake in 1908 that brought many historic buildings to collapse. Below is the Aragonese Castle, one of the few buildings that withstood the quake.

Lyon is known as the capital of gastronomy in Eastern France. It's also the hometown of Auguste and Louis Lumière who are known as the earliest filmmakers in history. And during the Renaissance, Lyon was developed as a center of the silk trade with Italy, resulting in Italian architecture being introduced in and around the city.
