Secrets from a lost ' Atlantis ' off the coast of Scotland have been pieced together by archaeologists after more than 200 objects were uncovered in the North Sea.
The underwater world, named Doggerland, connected the UK and Europe and was believed to have home to tens of thousands of people before it disappeared forever.
Located under the North Sea, fishermen have been dredging up artefacts from the mysterious land for years after a huge tsunami is believed to have drowned the area.
Some 200 mysterious objects have since been discovered since being lost 8,200 years ago, including skulls, mammoth remains - and even fossilised Hyena droppings.
A new exhibition called Doggerland: Lost World in the North Sea is now on display at the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden, southern Holland.
It contains the artefacts including a deer bone with an embedded arrow head and a skull fragment from a young male Neanderthal.
Vessels have also found remains of lions and other animals and a few prehistoric tools and weapons.
Researchers from the University of St Andrews have previously pieced together the prehistoric sunken world.
The research suggests the number of people who drowned could have been tens of thousands, living in an area that stretched from Northern Scotland across to Denmark and down as far as the Channel Islands.
Using survey data from oil companies, researchers were able to map the continent and deduce its population size as well as what kinds of animals and plants thrived there.
The findings suggest a landmass with hills and valleys, large swamps and lakes with major rivers, plus possible human burial sites, standing stones and a mass mammoth grave.
