HISTORY OF THE END OF THE WORLD

NORDIC ATLANTEAN MELTINGPOT



Once upon a time, say 40.000 years ago, giant mammoth abd woolly rhinos roamed the North-Sea and parts of the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the water in the North turned into ice and sea-levels were more than 200 meters lower. The Waddensea was dry land and the islands just hills in a large plain.

Mammoths, rhinos, wild horses, “ur-oxen” and giant deer, were hunted by mountainlions, wolves, bear and of course humans.

Suppoosedly hunting parties from the south found their way to the North snd wandered into a marshy and bushy tundra. Here they hunted big game and caught giant salmon and sturgeons. These hunters build only temporarely shelters and left nothing behind but the carcasses of their prey..

When temperatures rose and the tundra became fertile land and the hunters settled Doggerlant with their families. The whole area was a oaradise, filled game, birds, fish, clear water and plenty of food. The human settlers flourished and they became tall hunters and warriors.

These giants survived the first Flood, that exterminated the big grass-eaters and their migration-patterns. Many ice-bridges diasppeared and the mammoths could not reach Siberia. Many drowned. In the first years the hunters had their prey for the taking. Mammoths, giant-deer, cavebear wandered aimesly around. Mut after a couple of years, say 1000, their numbers dwindled and a whole group of giant-mammals disappeared into history.

Man and wolf stayed behind
