All right, moving on.

As we crawl through Noah's Woods now, before the 19th century and those bones and that Morlog Pete started coming up, there were whispers then.

I said the first whispers came in the late 19th century.

That's not exactly true because during low tide, way back when, the water levels would drop and some of these folks living in the UK at the time would see these tree stumps

And this is like medieval times, and they called it Noah's Woods with the idea that this was, you know, possibly the area where Noah from the Bible lived before God decided to flood the earth because he was grumpy.

That's right.

It seems pretty obvious what's happening.

Yeah.

And I noticed there were a couple of scientists, married couples that worked on this along the years.

It's kind of cool.

Yeah.

In 1913, they published Submerged Forests, which was the very first study on those woods.

And yeah, that's when they really kind of put it out there.

And it was, you know, it was the kind of thing where they didn't have any hard evidence other than these peat samples.

But when they started finding like willow leaves and hazel and birch and fern,

They were like, hey, not only do I think there was something down there, but it seems to have existed at least partially at a time that was like maybe kind of nice.

Yeah.

Temperature wise.

Yeah, that's right.

That's right.
