Ancient humans used its waterways to travel up through Africa. Its legacy remains today in rock art and dried riverbeds. This map is a speculative reconstruction of this lost world.

It was a large region that encompassed what is now the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, and other surrounding islands in Southeast Asia.
Read MoreDuring the last Ice Age the coast of North America looked significantly different from what it does today. The advance of massive ice sheets, primarily the Laurentide Ice Sheet, had a profound impact on the geography and appearance of the coastline. The Bering Land Bridge connected the eastern tip of Siberia to western Alaska.

Read MoreDuring the last Ice Age, when global sea levels were significantly lower due to the presence of large ice sheets, Doggerland was a vast plain that stretched across the area that connected present-day Great Britain to mainland Europe. It was inhabited by various human populations and supported diverse ecosystems, including forests, rivers, and wetlands. The landscape would have been similar to other low-lying coastal regions of Europe.
