Netherlands was really different back then…

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago

Yeah Netherlands and those Islands along the german & polish coast in the Baltic Sea that got washed away in a big storm

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

Huh? What's that?

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

The Saint Marcellus's flood

[-] JustCopyingOthers@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago

The Cambridge fens (UK) were under water at that time too (they were drained with the help of the Dutch)

I think the coastline of the southeast of the UK changed in the 1200s due to a massive storm. What are inland hills now were islands.

For those wondering, this is what the Netherlands actually looked like through the centuries

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

we must return to tradition

[-] Targuinia@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

as long as we sink the Noordoostpolder and disconnect Urk from the mainland again I'm up for anything

Noordoostpolder

I like how this sounds

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago

Imagine having a cute little house overlooking a lake or a bay and some asshole fills it in

Post China next. It's always funny seeing where the Yellow River is at any given time period. Also does anyone know why the Bohai Sea has shrunk over the last couple millennia?

edit: wait this is fake! The Zuiderzee Works were NOT built in the 12th century. 😠

Is the white rim an ice shelf?

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago

Ice shelves are not an 1157 thing, but an 11570 BC thing lol

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

There was the mini ice age somewhere in the early 1000s. Wasn't sure if that expanded glaciers over Northern Europe or something

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

Nah it didn't

[-] Kynuck97@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'm pretty sure thats just land below the sea, but at a higher elevation.

Drain the sea

Bring back Doggerland

[-] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 8 points 11 months ago

[-] Spike@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago
