And apparently, according to UK or early British lore, this is where Robinson Crusoe, who is the model for Robin Hood, emerged from the water and gave Arthur the sword in the stone.

So Noah's Woods was just kind of like a local thing.

I'm sure the churchy types really talked about it more than anybody else.

But scientists hadn't paid much attention to it until a very forward-thinking scientist and his wife, Clement and Eleanor Reed, came forward.

And they started looking into it.

And they kind of were the first people to put together Noah's Woods, the fact that there are tree stumps, weirdly ancient ones, in the sea.

People are pulling up animal bones for terrestrial animals.

So the Reeds had this pretty great theory.

Apparently, I read that they concluded that the only possible explanation for this was that sea level rise had flooded and sunken this land.
