Mandy Lifeboats Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Roman maps tend to come in 2 types. They are original maps and not entirely accurate. Or modern maps with limited amounts of historical information superimposed upon them. I often wonder what the UK in 400ad actually looked like. How much land has fallen into the sea since then. How much marshland has been reclaimed? Where did the rivers flow? What rivers have been lost. If anyone gets a time machine for Christmas please screen shot Googlindium Mapimux and post it. But if anyone knows of a site that has that information please post a link. I think it would be fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The distance may be increasing by erosion but it isn't caused by an active fault so there's no movement as such. I think (but maybe wrong here), the initial opening was caused by tidal action 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious answer: The separation occurred about 8-9,000 years ago Doggerland would still have been there then. Still fascinates me that we lost a whole big mofo of an island from the North Sea. Now it's just a part of the shipping forecast. EDIT : I see that in the map all the grey is land at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
