If you are interested in Sea Level Rises and the effects on history
you may like to follow the threads from
http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/britarch/1999-12/0352.html

Which speaks about the sea level rise/land sinking in the Scillies of
Cornwall.

A much more contentious but fascinating article on the climatic
fluctuations in the Middle East and its corelation with sea level
changes is found at
http://www.washington-report.org/backissues/0194/9401048.htm

For an animated view of sea level changes, clearly showing the higher
sea levels of the past have a look at
http://geochange.er.usgs.gov/pub/sea_level/

For an analysis of historical data over the last 4.3 thousand years
showing a sea level change of over 4 foot see
