The Mystery of Doggerland

A scientific exploration of the advanced ancient civilization known as Doggerland or Fairland that disappeared 5,000 years ago

The Mystery of Doggerland by Graham Phillips explores the scientific possibilities of an advanced ancient civilization known as Doggerland or Fairland that vanished 5,000 years ago.

This book delves into the latest archaeological and scientific findings preserved beneath the North Sea and on the tiny island of Fair Isle. It examines Doggerland’s sophisticated technology, notably how its inhabitants could melt solid rock to create vitrified structures that were far stronger than concrete.

The narrative shows how the survivors of Doggerland's destruction travelled to the British Isles, eventually founding the megalithic culture responsible for constructing Stonehenge.

Recent marine archaeological evidence has uncovered the traces of a large landmass north of Britain, which supported an advanced civilization 1,000 years before the first recognized civilizations in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, or India. In Celtic legends, this land is remembered as Tu-lay and is referred to by geologists as Doggerland or Fairland. This civilization began at least as early as 4000 BCE but was ultimately destroyed by rising sea levels, massive tsunamis, and a severe viral epidemic unleashed from melting permafrost during a catastrophic period of global warming.

Graham Phillips explores the latest archaeological discoveries and scientific analysis of Doggerland’s underwater remains, showcasing that this ancient culture possessed advanced technology and medical knowledge. He investigates evidence obtained through remote sensing and seismic profiling of numerous artificial structures, complex settlements, extensive earthworks, epic monoliths, and vast stone circles dated to over 5,500 years ago, preserved beneath the surface and on the ocean floor. He also examines Fair Isle, the small portion of the Fairland landmass still above water, located about 45 miles north of Scotland's Orkney Islands. Phillips demonstrates how, after Fairland sank under the waves around 3100 BCE, its last survivors ventured by boat to the British Isles, where they established the megalithic culture that erected Stonehenge.

Unveiling extensive archaeological evidence supporting Doggerland’s existence and its influence on early cultures globally, Phillips presents The Mystery of Doggerland as a historical warning: the catastrophic events that befell the earliest civilizations could recur as the planet's temperature rises.
