1. Younger Dryas period has now been proven to be caused by either a comet hit or meteor hit, which caused the melting of the last ice age so you need to look at the time frame and also the implications of what this great disaster did to any pre existing humans and even boat technologies that they might have had ........ things got lost when the sea level goes up 400 feet.

2. The Stonehenge culture is now thought to come from Northern Scotland and all the areas you discuss.
Think about that for second.
3. We know now that sea travel has been around for 10s of thousands of years, South america genetics and
also Australia findings show this with new studies.
I think some of my threads documented some of these findings.
4. You have to ask yourself as far as this Scottish site.
Why would they settle on such a narrow spit of land?
For food, hunting, clothing etc It makes no sense
Did they fear sea raiders?................ which means sea travel was happening
Or was this not the high ground at one time and had a bigger area to support all the things they were doing ?
Also listen to this podcast with graham hancock and randall carlson.......
Hope I pointed you in the your adventures.
Megalithic culture fascinates me especially after being a construction foreman at one time.
Oh, And don't forget to study Gobekli Tepe
because its time frame is important too.
