http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,292793,00.htmlBeside finding something cool as this, there were two interesting points in the article:
The site, just off the Isle of Wight, dates back 8,000 years, not long before melting glaciers filled in the Channel and likely drove the settlement's last occupants north to higher ground.
Proof of the Biblical flood?and
As the climate began to warm up near the end of the Ice Age about 10,000 years ago, people were moving into Northern Europe and settling down in the many river valleys left behind by melting glaciers, Momber explained.
Proof that global warming was happening well before man's use of fossil fuels and carbon emmissions?
I wonder how they began to explore the bottom of the Channel. It's really not that long ago – 8000 years – so it's pretty interesting to hear about the discovery. Is the theory that during the Ice Age(s) more water was trapped in ice and only later on it came to fill in the Channel?
