    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over.

Collapse of Antarctic Ice Sheet Linked to Ancient 'Mega Flood'
Dramatic warming at the end of the last ice age produced an intense rise in sea level and a massive ice sheet collapse in the Antarctic.
The sea level rise is known as Melt-Water Pulse 1A, and new research indicates it increased sea level by about 45 feet (14 meters) sometime between 14,650 and 14,310 years ago, during the same time as a period of rapid climate change known as the Bølling warming.
...They found that the sea level rose about 45 feet (14 meters) in less than 350 years..

OK, so that's roughly 6.5 feet every 50 years ... a little more than a foot every decade, and I'm assuming they don't know if the rise was evenly distributed or sporadic.

Fascinating stuff.
 
I can imagine someone 14,350 odd years ago telling their children, enjoying a day at the beach, that this was a long way inland when they were a child.

because otherwise how would you know what period in history you were looking at

If in future you do again such a wonderful video here is my suggestion :

put the date on the top or left, beside the map, and instead of pausing, let the coastline change continuously.

Bad idea, if only for the reason that in some countries the video won't show because of the music. Something to do with ... with ... Oh wait:
Unfortunately, this SME-music-content is not available in Germany because GEMA has not granted the respective music publishing rights.​
