I realise this is an old post, and I haven't been back in a long while. (Hi everyone!) 

“Between 7500 and 5500 years ago, the coast line was one kilometre farther inland from today. The big, shallow fiords and estuaries were filled with sand, deposited during sea-level changes. This sand, dating back to the Glacial and late Glacial times, is the origin of today’s beaches along Jæren. When the sea-level eventually dropped, large areas of sand were exposed, and the wind could play around with the sediments again,” says Prøsch-Danielsen.

Boreas once mentioned that Scandinavia has been rising steadily since the weight of the glacial ice dispersed to the oceans on all sides.. and still are... which is another reason that coastlines there are seemingly moving downhill.  In "Homer in the Baltic", Felice Vinci points out that the locations in southern Finland around Toija (presumably Troy) are now quite a bit inland from when the scene of the war took place. 
Hence, (quote from Vinci) "It is remarkable that farmers often come across Bronze and Stone Age relics in the fields surrounding Toija. This is proof of human settlements in this territory many thousands of years ago. Further, in the area surrounding Salo (only 20 km from Toija), archaeologists have found splendid specimens of swords and spear points that date back to the Bronze Age and are now on display in the National Museum of Helsinki. These findings come from burial places, which include tumuli made of large mounds of stones that can be found at the top of certain hills, which rise from the plain today, but which, thousands of years ago, when the coastline was not as far back as it is nowadays, faced directly onto the sea."
Could be the rising of Scandinavia? Or...?

ILLIGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM

Thus ye may find in thy mental and spiritual self, ye can make thyself just as happy or just as miserable as ye like. How miserable do ye want to be?......For you GROW to heaven, you don't GO to heaven. It is within thine own conscience that ye grow there.

Edgar Cayce
