HISTORY OF THE END OF THE WORLD

CHRONOLOGY



When on the isle of Malta fossilized elephant-bones were found, scientist wondered how a small island like Malta could sustain an elephant habitat. They completely forgot, that during the latest Ice-Age, one could walk from Northern Africa, past Malta to the Italian continent. Elephants migrated back and forwards. The Sahara was green, lush and wells and rivers. Black people lived there 25.000 years ago and build houses and herded cattle. There are lots of cavepaintings to prove it.

The same goes for North-Western Europe. The ice covered about a quarter of Europe. Where there was no ice a marshy tundra appeared. The continent was bigger. Sealevels have fallen 200 meters. In that time, 17.000 years ago mammoths and woolly rhinos were hunted by the giant mountainlions. The North Sea and part of the Atlantic (from Scotland to Norway) was dry land and the vegetation attracted horses, giant deer and even hyenas.

Among them, we find signes of human habitation in the North-sea. First there may have been only hunting-parties coming from Northern-France. But when the weatherconditions improved “Doggerland”, as we call the area, was settled. These settlements became permanent and grew into villages and small towns. The inhabitants about 10.000 years ago lived, from (international) trade, agriculture, cattlefarming, especially horses.

We have to ask the question. Where did these people come from?

The ice was just a minor problem for the South. Here civilisations developed, some around the “Black Sea”, a, relatively small, sweet water-lake.

The peace was disturbed by a breakthrough between the Mediterranean See and the “Black Sea. The area was engulfed, slowly in the beginning but soon the breakthrough was complete. The people living there, had to pack there belongings and flee.

At the same time in the Middle-East and Egypt the classical empires succeeded each-other. Sumer, Akkad, Assur, Persia, Greece (Alexander the Great) and Rome.

Iraq, Syria, Turkey, Lebanon and Palestine were green and productif aand were called “the Fertile Crescent”.

But two thousand years of warfare have turned agricultural areas into dessert. But the war not only led to refugees. The conquering, succesfull party deported whole areas outside the Empire. The Jews ended up in Babylon but survived, to be later deported by the Romans (diaspora, the 10 lost tribes.

Logically most of those wanderers, mpved East- and North-East. Into Europe. Some tribes moved on quickly, being pushed by other, but seemingly at random. Other tribes migrated as a whole and targeted their new home-land (Anglo-Saxon, Nordic tribes). But in the end they all ended up on the floor of the North-Sea, “Doggerland”; once to be named “Atlantis”.
