Could Doggerland have been Atlantis?

According to an online CBS News – Science article, the underwater land between England and France as well as the land between Scotland and Denmark, were above water until about 5,500 BC. At that time, rising sea levels and a tsunami submerged all of the land except for the remaining British Isles.

Dr. Richard Bates, geophysicist at St. Andrews University in Scotland, says that the now-submerged land provided food for both hunters and gatherers. What’s really exciting is that:

Among fossilized evidence of mammoths and large game animals, divers have found harpoons, flint tools and suspected burial sites they say belonged to residents of the submerged settlement more than 12,000 years ago.
