About this ebook
Drowned Lands explores the fascinating history of submerged lands and lost civilizations, examining the geological and cultural forces behind their disappearance beneath the sea. This book delves into how geological processes, like plate tectonics and sea-level fluctuations, contribute to the submergence of landmasses and human settlements. Intriguingly, Doggerland, once a vast area connecting Britain to continental Europe, now lies beneath the North Sea, demonstrating these powerful forces at work. The book uniquely blends earth sciences, history, and mythology to understand these drowned lands.
It progresses from introducing the concept of submerged landscapes to investigating geological forces, examining specific lost settlements like Port Royal, Jamaica, and analyzing related myths such as Atlantis.
By understanding past submergences, we can gain critical insights into the dynamic relationship between humanity and the environment, offering valuable lessons for navigating our changing world and informing coastal management strategies in the face of climate change and coastal erosion.
