Krijn: The Neanderthal Who Lived at the Bottom of the Sea

Beneath the cold waves of the North Sea lies one of the world's greatest secrets: Doggerland. It wasn't just a land bridge; it was the heart of Europe—a lush "Garden of Eden" teeming with mammoths, vast forests, and early human civilizations. But how did this massive continent vanish, and who were the people that called it home?

In this video, we dive deep into the geology and anthropology of the lost world of Doggerland. From the discovery of "Krijn"—the first Neanderthal found in the Netherlands—to the catastrophic Storegga Slide tsunami that delivered the final blow to this submerged heartland, we uncover the history buried in the seabed.

We also explore the shocking technology of the "Wood Age," revealing how Neanderthals used complex chemistry to create tools long before modern history began. Join us as we explore the real Atlantis.
