The Post-Glacial Flooding Hypothesis – Flipbook

Unearth the Astonishing Secrets of a Flooded Post-Glacial Britain (Post-Glacial Flooding Hypothesis)

Synopsys

Some twelve millennia in the past, a significant chapter in Earth’s history unfolded as the glaciers from the last Ice Age gracefully retreated, unveiling the foundation of the Britain we recognize today.

For over a staggering 100,000 years, the Pleistocene Epoch held Britain captive beneath the colossal weight of two miles of ice, an immense force that compressed the land, driving it approximately 2000 feet below its original level. In the aftermath of this glacial epoch, the gradual rebound of the land commenced, shaping the contours of the present-day British landscape.

The conventional geological narrative attributes the melting of these glaciers to a warming trend in climatic conditions, resulting in a succession of ‘meltwater pulses.’ However, this explanation falls short of constructing a realistic model that accounts for the comprehensive discharge of meltwater, responsible not only for forming the North and Irish Seas but also for initiating significant sea-level rises that continue to shape our coastlines.

A perusal of any British Geological Society (BGS) map unveils a subterranean network of features, resembling canals and colossal waterways, concealed beneath the visible bedrock, sediments, and superficial deposits. These intricate formations represent the remnants of Palaeochannels from the last ice age, offering a glimpse into the past when rivers surged at their peak discharge levels.

These ‘Dry River Valleys,’ as they are commonly known, manifest on the surface and can be observed in the cliffs and valleys of the South Downs. The distinct concave profiles of these ancient rivers are marked by the remnants of superficial subsoil, comprised of sand, silt, and clay.

However, past geological interpretations have often misidentified these features, failing to recognize their riverine nature and the significance of associated river terraces formed during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). The misinterpretation is compounded by the puzzling proximity of sandy silt to contemporary topsoil and the presence of silt and sand at elevations purportedly higher than earlier river terracing. Some geologists have attributed these deposits to ‘windblown Loess,’ suggesting that prevailing winds transported the materials into position rather than the action of past rivers.

This book embarks on a journey to unravel this geological mystery, drawing upon existing scientific evidence documented in peer-reviewed publications and leveraging modern mathematical models. The aim is to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the Holocene landscape, empowering archaeologists with valuable insights to uncover fresh discoveries and attain a nuanced comprehension of our intricate history.

Robert John Langdon (2023) – (Post-Glacial Flooding Hypothesis)

Langdon’s journey was marked by meticulous mapping and years of research, culminating in a hypothesis that would reshape our understanding of prehistoric Britain. He proposed that much of the British Isles had once been submerged in the aftermath of the last ice age, with these ancient sites strategically positioned along the ancient shorelines. His groundbreaking maps offered a fresh perspective, suggesting that Avebury had functioned as a bustling trading hub for our ancient ancestors. This audacious theory challenged the prevailing notion that prehistoric societies were isolated and disconnected, instead highlighting their sophistication in trade and commerce.

In the realm of historical discovery, it is often the audacious thinkers, the mavericks who dare to question established narratives, who propel our understanding forward. Robert John Langdon is undeniably one of these thinkers. With a deep passion for history and an unyielding commitment to his research, he has unearthed a hidden chapter in the story of Avebury—one that transcends the boundaries of time and offers fresh insights into our shared human history.

As Langdon’s trilogy, ‘The Stonehenge Enigma,’ continues to explore these groundbreaking theories, it beckons us to embark on a journey of discovery, to challenge our assumptions, and to embrace the possibility that the past is far more complex and interconnected than we ever imagined. Avebury, with its ancient stones and enigmatic avenues, continues to whisper its secrets to those who dare to listen, inviting us to see history through a new lens—one illuminated by the audacious vision of Robert John Langdon.
