*Those people living in that city are probably like:* “The rain was so bad that it sunk our city. British weather am I right?”
I'm from new England. Live in UK now for 10 misurable years. Swansea Wales does. But in the UK it's always default weather. Aka. Grey is sky, kind of average weather n annoying type of rain. Not down pour or light shower. It's the other kind of rain. I only recommend coming here if ya a commie, criminal , or want to marry a child and don't want to live in Texas or middle east. There are some nice ppl here. Few and far between. Most are drunks who stab and rape. But there are some very great ppl here if ya know where to look. On the plus, marmite is so cheap in UK. But self defence is a crime so sayith the police here. Can't wait to move back home when I can. Kind of. Americans have their own problems but better than here. I can defend myself n my woman n not face jail time. But you rape or kill or invade a home with weapons. Cops do nothing. Kind of like Russia but worse lol

It’s very impressive how he’s managed to get actual video and photos taken during the 13th century.
We're having the same erosion problems here in the US, particularly on the lower East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico. Homes in some areas of South Florida are now inches away from the waterfront. The North Carolina Legislature came up with a solution, though - they voted that the problem didn't exist.
That's still not quite as bad as the morons who keep rebuilding New Orleans. When your existence is maintained purely by levies, it's past time to give up, the ocean isn't going to lose.
Inspired by global mastermind, Donald Trump. You can vote problems out of existence. Every country needs that opportunity. Make Earth great again ( not the marine part tho ).
Oh please stop your blaming trump for everything mental illness. This has been happening in United States for hundreds of years. The coastline off Savannah’s Georgia extended 30 miles out 700 years ago. Louisiana by building to preserve has actually increased its loss. There is nothing you can do about it: zero.
That's why we bigfoots stay away from human cities, never know if they might end up underwater

It's ironic that H.P. Lovecraft's fictional city of Dunwich is more famous internationally than the original. It's very likely he swiped its name. But I'm sure "The Dunwich Harbour" would've been a very different tale than what he actually wrote.
Was this the story about weird fishmen or the story about Yogg-Sothoth's twins?
@@Valigarmanda The one about the twins. The other one is The Shadow Over Innsmouth.
I was disappointed there was no mention of an invisible blasphemous abomination sinking the town. Possibly at the behest of Deep Ones (who just wanted their current houses more convenient to the shops).
One of the potential sites that inspired Lovecraft's Dunwich ended up flooded for a reservoir, and frankly, for all I know, there might just be a very dangerous colour there.
@@shawnhartmann4581 Well, if it's an invisible blasphemous abomination, no one's likely to see it -- or try to see it, for that matter!
I love hearing about British history! I’m American and so never really learned much about England. I love learning about the land that my Ancestors came from
Ewww American
@Trance what
@Trance racist and stereotyping the british, you must be american like him
@Trance and america is the land of the slaves, point is that history is and will always have reprcussions years later. Some countries like Japan have an horrible past but eventually, they are forgiven however other countries like Germany will always be linked with Hitler. Russia will always be linked to stalin. And china ( but a lot less so) will be linked to Genghis Khan
@Trance we are the colonizers, the ones that plagued your lands with opium stay mad kiddo

Hearing you say "net full of cod" as you referred to Doggerland was a rather poignant statement for me. As a Newfoundlander, from the easternmost province of Canada, nets full of cod were once so commonplace that folks assumed it would go on forever. In recent years we are lucky to have cod fisheries opened for recreational fishing. Our once plentiful cod stocks are quite reduced. Unlike places like Dunwich, the loss of a way of life we have suffered is largely down to politicians giving away access to our fish stocks or at minimum not fighting to retain those stocks. Dunwich could do nothing to avert its faith and did nothing to prompt it. So tragic.
Cape Cod got it’s name because apparently the cod used to be so plentiful that you could, “walk across the water.” Humanity has left behind tragic situations in once thriving ecosystems. The most tragic thing, it doesn’t have to be that way.
Fellow East Anglian here, totally remember going on geography school trips to Dunwich to learn all about coastal erosion and the unfortunate tale of the town 😁

I know it has nothing to do with the topic of the video but I kinda find it interesting how the northern European mainland seas are named... North Sea = Nordsee Baltic Sea = Ostsee (English = German btw) But translating it in reverse "Ostsee" would be "East Sea"
Extra fun: the North Sea was commonly called the German Ocean until after WW1, it was changed due to politics of the time.
fun fact. this video is at least 10x more depressing when you realize you actually live in Liverpool

Thoughty2's videos are so easy to watch and are enjoyable, bravo! I only recently found you, but I am now binge-watching your back catalogue :)
The reality is too many people live near coastlines. Coastlines are bountiful and have a lot of great qualities, but as you can see from this video, they can be very destructive too

I often get a kick thinking about the fact that if things continue as they are, one day my hometown will be remembered as the lost city of New Orleans. Such is life. 😉🍻
Apparently Charleston SC is the most likely to be the first city claimed by the ocean. Since it was famous for its slave market, I'm less upset about that than I probably should be. Losing the Gullah islands will be awful.
Already think of it as lost city.

Reminds me of the Oregon coast. There are many expensive houses right on the edge of the cliffs going down to the ocean, some of them reinforced with wooden struts, all of them in danger of collapsing eventually. The home owners can't sell their homes because nobody will buy them, so they're holding out as long as possible. There are others that are located directly above caves that undermine parts of the coastal areas. I doubt they'll have any luck selling their homes, either, if they decide to leave.

Hi Arran, maybe I can help a wee bit here. My adoptive father is a retired maritime geospatial engineer who worked for East Riding Of Yorkshire council for two decades. As it currently stands, the thought on why the North Sea is the way it is comes down to depth and climate change. Like the Bay of Biscay, the North Sea resides over low-lying land that was once populated. Basically, the more shallow the sea becomes, the more violent it gets. Current estimates have Hull, Hornsea, Skipsea and Withernsea underwater by 2045. At that point, unless we come up with a new approach, there won’t be a point defending them. The same is true of Kings Lynn and parts of Norfolk and East Anglia. What isn’t widely known is that the sea won’t stop at Hull. It’ll take all portside towns up the Humber and Ouse. This means that towns such as Selby, Market Weighton, North Cave, North Ferriby and Goole will be submerged also.
The Al Stewart song The Coldest Winter In Memory features the line "By the lost town of Dunwich the shore was washed away They say you hear the church bells still as they toll beneath the waves" The song is about a man fighting in the Great Northern War in the 1700s.
Arran is the friend that talks too much but that you also pay attention to. The kind of guys that gives you advice in the form of historical facts

The big problem with Dunwich is that it was built on sandstone so soft you can dig out a hole with your finger.
It's not even sandstone. In Suffolk, there are NO solid bedrocks - it's all glacial deposits, clay, gravel, sand, that sort of thing, and a layer made entirely of fossil shells, known as 'Red Crag'. It's tremendously friable, and a lot of the Suffolk coast is made of it. Red Crag can be crumbled in the fingers like a stock cube. Sandstone would have stood up so much better.
Won't stop the elite from telling us it's "global warming" and how we have to give up our money out of guilt.
@@JinzoCrash Except it's not "global warming" anymore, remember, they changed it to 'climate change' now. Why did they change it? Oh, because actually the change in Earth's global mean surface temperature has been close to zero since 2000, and you know, the climate is always changing - so effectively the term was changed to keep their fake narrative 'relevant'. Got to keep those worthless jobs going and the grift money rolling in.
It was just sand, without the stone.
@@sunnyjim1355 Indeed lol. Like how they "selectively" use ocean-rise stations from areas where the landmass is actively sinking as well as stations on blacktop in a parking lot in the northwest, next to motor homes with A/C exhaust blowing on them.
There are many sites of pre-historic cities on the continental shelves of the world. Doggerland was between today’s British isles and Scandinavia, flooded after the last ice age. There were many such early settlements flooded which is why The Flood is in many ancient legends of most civilizations to leave records or have myths mentioned from before recorded times. The summarians included it in the oldest written records on earth.
You deserve many more subsribers/views. This channel is one of 2 channels I allow notifications from. Awesome job!
I wish we learned THESE kinds of topics in school, I would be much more intrigued and interested in learning about history that way
Funnily enough, I grew up in Suffolk and we did learn about this and actually went on a school trip to Dunwich. There was almost nothing there and we were all bored stiff though. And yet I find it super interesting now!
It might also inspire kids to learn about climate change.

The horror that came to Dunwich over the deep ones.
It is quite true!!! Medieval Dunwich was so much like Liverpool! A rarely mentioned fact concerning Dunwich is that, just like Liverpool, there was in that very town a "foursome of minstrels" all with matching page-hairstyles that reportedly "tooketh the whole state by storm" with hits such as: Wage Canst Buyeth me Loveth Twisteth and Shouteth Thy Lady Loveth Thee I Wanteth to Holdeth thy Handeth .. and many, many more!
I guess the WALES wanted a city of their own. hehe

Now that's a classic Gothenburg style pun if there ever was one 👍🏽
Good video, I used to live in Aldeburgh (or Aldborough as it was on the old maps) and it also suffered a similar fate to its shipbuilding industry as the Orford Ness spit grew across the river, cutting off the industry that once built the Golden Hind for Francis Drake, fortunately for Aldeburgh it was able to make up its losses through fishing and eventually tourism but it still has problems with flooding and erosion, the small village of Slaughden immediately to the south of Aldeburgh was eaten by the sea around the same time as All Saints church went down in Dunwich, with the landlord of the last pub sometimes having the open the front and back doors to let the sea go through. These days there's concern that at some point the marsh to the north of Aldeburgh will be reached if the Alde river breaches significantly and basically turns the older part of Aldeburgh into an island, which will significantly improve the traffic problems in the summer let me tell you. Another interesting place to look at is Fairbourne in Wales, it's a town of around a thousand people at the moment, but has been designated as being abandoned as part of the 'managed retreat' strategy of coastal erosion which means at some point within the next twenty to sixty years the place will be unsuitable for living in. I bet you that house prices are still through the roof though.

The real atlantis was landlocked, not sank, in africa. The Richat structure is the original place where Atlantis once stood. Another youtuber, Jimmy, who's channel is called Bright Insight, has several videos explaining how and why it is the original setting of Atlantis, and it's so compelling that after I saw his videos a couple years back, I questioned everything I once learned in school and question everything "official" from those of tenure or government funding.

Another very interesting video. I am from Great Yarmouth just a few miles up the coast. Little secret about the deserted Eccles on Sea; it isn't. I drove their at work as we do a fair bit of driving and often look for places to explore. Saw a sign saying Eccles on Sea and followed it, it really was undefinable and was literally like a small town forgotten by time, with houses with long porches, kind of a rectangle grid shape, no tarmac on the roads but an interesting little town for sure.

Excellent video. Thank you so much. But naughty that comment on Hull going ten years early "if we are lucky". I know it won the first ever crap towns award and is usually in the top ten, but I for one think it is a lovely city. However, we have three contenders for a British Atlantis on the west coast too. All around Blackpool. Singleton Thorpe, Wadham Thorpe and Kilgrimol. All swept away one night in around Sept 1555 by either a tsunami or a storm surge. No one survived in Wadham or Kilgrimol, but four survived in Singleton Thorpe by being away trading inland. Divers here occasionally find the remains, as visibility is better and at a neap tide in Feb or March, where the tide goes further out than normal, you can walk out along the cobbled road that used to go to the village. Also the few remaining fishermen at nearby Fleetwood, won't venture out, if they think they hear the bells of Singleton Thorpe church tolling slowly under the waves. Spooky. Cheers for reading.
So, that silent W made it to NYC and now Greenwich is pronounced the same as Greenwich over there across the pond.

The power of water can be terrifying! I live near a neighborhood that subsided into the bay after people had been pumping water out from beneath the soil for everyday use over a few generations. You can still see the roofs of the houses just under the surface of the water, and a couple of roofs still protruding above the water. The water below those homes was supporting them, and when that water was removed, the water around them was able to invade them.
I love how he so elegantly pronounces the g's at the ending of words. Whereas we Americans tend to drop off that ending g sound or do not pronounce it as clearly.

This is similar to an old welsh story. Even to the point of hearing bells on a quiet night in the bay. I forget which bay. But its an old story. Edit... Cantre gwaelod is the name and it was said to be in cardigan Bay.
Hello there's one off the coast by Llandudno North Wales as well ...similar inundation over night washed away a now sunken town .gone for ever ! ..
@@metaldetectingengland I suspect in history quite a lot of the coastal areas have these stories. It's just struck me when he mentioned hearing the church bells under the water. The same is said about cantre gwaelod.
Loving the picture of the sea wall at Dawlish when "big and important cities" are mentioned. That place is so small!
I remember the 2013 flood, luckily my town is slightly up a river that goes to the sea but we're close enough to be a decently sized trade port so none of our land was lost but we had flooding up to 2 blocks in from the seafront, a couple of my friends had to stay elsewhere during that time as their houses were at least 2 inches deep in water on streets on a hill. I had no idea that was happening all the way down the eastern coast
A drastic rise in sea levels may affect the city centre and areas close to the Mersey but the majority of Liverpool is too high above sea level.

@@soakupthesunman l know, but that's what it would take to have any effect on Liverpool's coastline. Don't know why Liverpool even got a mention, there's no erosion issues and it's in a sheltered position on the banks of the River Mersey.

You're right. I do need my little version of everything. First, I drink my 10 litre tea mug, then my 9 litre one, then my 8 litre one, then my 7 litre one, then my 6 litre one, then my 5 litre one, then my 4 litre one, then my 3 litre one, then my 2 litre one, then my 1 litre one, then I repeat.
considering much of that happened before the industrial revolution, id you cant blame it on climate change, but they will anyway, theres people out there that seem to think anything and everything can be blamed on climate change. they probably think that Mars is a waste land because of climate change issues.
Absolutely amazing history lesson. Thank you!
Things that stood out to me: "GLASSY ERS" and "maybe 2040...if we're lucky..."
Eloquently put. Always enjoyable. The West coast , where I grew up , is however growing at the same rate as the East coast is eroding. The Mersey is kept accessible by constant dredging. The coast itself has also encroached into the Irish Sea by nearly 2 miles from Sefton to Fylde , since I was a lad. We're on the move , it seems.
19:16 - 19:24 Hull will sink by 2040 if we are lucky 🤣🤣nervous laugh for me😂you got me there🤣🤣

The sun may never set on the British empire, but the water certainly sets on
lol
In the iron age landing a ship was very vulnerable to currents and, in an exposed port, the ship would very likely run aground. Harbours were usually very sheltered. The first Roman invasion of Britain was foiled when an entire fleet of ships was shipwrecked at Plymouth. Southampton was sheltered by the Isle of Wight. A town with the geographical features of Dunwich would have been an ideal harbour for the ships of that time.
Coast of India has been disappearing for hundreds of thousands of years. More! We know,that Dwarka, the city Krishna built, slipped under the sea tens of thousands of years ago. It is just what happens when the granite bedrock is pushed above the waves, and organic/carbon based lifeforms (plants, animals, insects, and sea creatures) are born and die creating top soil. Pounding waves created by undersea volcanoes [millions) which bring molten rock to the seabed, raise water levels. Wind turbines are held in place by cement made of sandstone from India, also are raising sea levels. Wind turbines break down quickly, and there is no way to recycle them, so in the water or into a landfill they go. Islands of plastic from 6 rivers in China and 2 in Africa (all from China's manufacturing plants) also raise water levels. The icecaps are made of water that once was on plant life all over the globe. During the reign of the dinosaurs, (over 250 million years) there were no icecaps. Just a planet teaming with life, and 15 to 5.5 it's more carbon in the atmosphere. A comet killed the dinosaurs NOT because of all the fossil fuels dinosaurs used to power their jet engines, race cars, air conditioning, and coal fired power plants.
One teensy thing... ‘begs the question’ does not mean ‘raises the question’, it refers to a flaw in reasoning where an argument can only be proven true if one first assumes that it’s true (I’m paraphrasing). If someone uses the ‘begs’ version, 99.99% of the time, they’re making this same mistake. Not judging, just sharing. 🙂
WHY COULDN’T YOU HAVE MADE THIS VIDEO LAST WEEK A HAD A GEOGRAPHY TEST ABOUT DUNWICH YESTERDAY
That is just so sad
In the east of Doggerland, what is now know as Northern Germany, we have similiar stories.The country of "Strand" was eaten away, including all its villages and small cities, by the North Sea between the 14th and 17th century. The island of Sylt and the so called Wadden Sea and some small islands that barely can hold a handfull of houses is all that's left of it.
Found this guy today and he’s already one of my favourite youtubers if not my favourite 😂
