“多格兰”位于北海南部，连接着英国和欧洲大陆，科学家称其为古代文明的开放遗迹。

British scientists from the University of Bradford have discovered in the North Sea the remains of a massive civilization, reported by Live Science.

据《生活科学》报道，来自布拉德福德大学的英国科学家在北海发现了一个巨大文明的遗迹。

During an eleven-day expedition, experts took samples and found that the age of the landscape and the remains of fossils could be dated to ten thousand years.

在一次为期11天的探险中，专家们采集了样本，发现这块地貌和化石的年代可以追溯到一万年前。

The area is within the Doggerland, a land that once connected the eastern coast of the UK and the continent to the south of the North Sea.

该地区位于多格兰内，这片土地曾将英国东海岸和欧洲大陆与北海以南连接起来。

Previously, experts found that there was a layer of compressed peat beneath the seabed. According to them, there was human civilization about 12,000 years ago. About four thousand years ago, the area was flooded. Experts intend to continue research in this region.

此前，专家发现海床下有一层压缩泥炭。根据他们的说法，大约在12000年前就有了人类文明。大约四千年前，这个地区被洪水淹没。专家们打算继续在这个地区进行研究。

"We are absolutely confident that we will soon find traces of the settlements," say scientists at the University of Bradford.

布拉德福德大学的科学家说：“我们绝对有信心很快就能找到这些定居点的痕迹。”

They plan to return to the Doggerland area with a Dutch ship to continue the research this autumn.

他们计划今年秋天乘坐荷兰船返回多格兰继续研究。
