Around 6200 BCE, one of the most colossal underwater disasters in Earth's history unfolded off the coast of Norway: the Storegga Slide. In a series of three massive structural failures, approximately 290 kilometers of the continental shelf collapsed, plunging 3,500 cubic kilometers of rock, mud, and sediment into the deep ocean. This sudden mass displacement generated a catastrophic paleo-tsunami that surged across the North Atlantic, decimating up to 25 percent of Britain's Mesolithic population. The wave thoroughly inundated Doggerland—a flat, highly populated post-glacial land bridge teeming with oak forests and lagoons that connected Britain to mainland Europe. Today, the forensic signatures of this prehistoric disaster remain carved into Scotland's coastlines and vacuum-sealed under anaerobic mud, where radiocarbon-dated mosses have allowed  ...
