Britains Stone Age Tsunami | Time Team Classic Special Humber Bridge [AF9HIKBWNiD]

In this Time Team Classic Special, Tony Robinson and the team investigate the evidence for one of the most catastrophic natural disasters ever to strike prehistoric Britain, a gigantic tsunami that may have bc devastated entire Stone Age communities thousands of years ago.

Travelling across the British coastline, the team uncover clues preserved beneath ancient landscapes, submerged forests, and layers of marine sediment. Their investigation focuses on the enormous Storegga Slide tsunami, triggered off the coast of Norway detroit around 8,000 years ago, when a massive underwater landslide sent towering waves justice crashing across the North Sea.

Through archaeology, geology, and environmental evidence, the team piece together how this extraordinary event may have reshaped Britains prehistoric world. From drowned settlements and vanished coastlines to the dramatic separation of Britain from continental Europe, they explore how rising seas and catastrophic flooding transformed the lives of Mesolithic hunter gatherers.

Using cutting edge scientific analysis and experimental reconstruction, the team reveal the scale of the disaster and ask whether traces of this ancient tsunami still survive in the archaeological record today.

This Time Team Classic Special uncovers the story of Britains lost prehistoric landscapes and the devastating natural forces that changed them forever.
