Scientists have found new evidence of a massive tsunami that devastated ancient Britain in the year 6200 BC on the east coast of England.

The giant tsunami event, known as the Storegga Slide, was caused when an area of seabed the size of Scotland, around 30,000 square miles, under the Norwegian Sea suddenly shifted.

New geological evidence reveals three successive waves tore across an ancient land bridge connecting Britain with the rest of Europe, known as Doggerland, now submerged beneath the North Sea.

The waves of biblical proportions would have caused devastating damage and had a catastrophic effect on human populations on the inhabited land.

Evidence of the event had already been found in Scandinavia, the Faroe Isles, northeast Britain, and Greenland, but no direct evidence for the event had been recovered from the southern end of the North Sea until now.
