Some Celts drowned when doggerland became dogger island then dogger bank as the glaciers retreated. The sea flooding all the land must have been a surprise for them, no high land was high enough
That was a few thousand years before Celts were around.
Edit: It was also pretty slow; it was a couple of hundred miles across and took three thousand years to disappear, so it’s on the order of a few miles in a lifetime.
Fun fact: Celts were originally central European, but the British Isles and Brittany were the only places Celtic culture survived the Romans.
that’s not fun, that’s horrifying

I thought the Celts walked to the British Isles while they were connected to Europe. Guess I need to improve my British prehistory
