So was Hyperborea real or not? I don't get it.

It is real

>>17873147 (OP)
Hyperborea is just the Ancient North Eurasian homeland of Ice Age Eastern Siberia.

Iber Boreas,- the River of the North Wind.
This was the Elbe/Rhine/Thames River when they coalesced and flowed past Doggerbank.
Hyperborea was literally Doggerland.

It was the ancient Greek word for a land to the far north. They didn't travel to the far north themselves so their information about that area was vague and mixed up with myths. Then 19th century esotericists span out those myths into a lost civilisation they could project their fantasies onto, and did the same with Atlantis.

The Norse mythos remember this same land as Ginnungagap, the frozen void.
Ginnungagap, the Yawning Void ... which faced toward the northern quarter, became filled with heaviness, and masses of ice and rime, and from within, drizzling rain and gusts; but the southern part of the Yawning Void was lighted by those sparks and glowing masses which flew out of Múspellheim[6]
The "spaeks and glowing masses" or Múspellheim was the Laacher See eruptions,- which the biblical canon in turn remembers as the Nephilim/Niflheimar which fled the area to invade other places.

>I'm retarded.
Got it.

The older stage would have been even more of a frozen shithole only marked by a big and long river hugging the icefront.

Iber Boreas
was this >>17873844

I've long thought that prehistoric flood myths originated with the inundation of Doggerland after the Last Glacial Maximum. It wouldn't have been a sudden event, but a gradual subsuming of the lowlands as the glaciers melted, but it would've occurred fast enough that a single generation would have witnessed their homes swallowed by the sea.

Are there any other places like this? Places that were above water during the ice age, but were flooded over after the glaciers melted?

The Mid Atlantic Ridge is a massive underwater mountain range that is so tall that a few of its peaks still reach above the waters of the Atlantic Ocean as tiny islands. So it stands to reason those tiny islands used to be a lot bigger, and probably connected into larger land masses, and that some of the lower peaks that are currently underwater used to be above water.

This place is where the Auks depicted in Göbekli Tepe were from originally.
And the Island itself is the "Egg"/Sun of the Vulture pillar.
By every metric, it is the "Real" Atlantis/Avalon/Asgard/Aztlan where the bird/serpent-priests of the ice age made their seasonal pilgrimate. The North Atlantic Eel had this place as breeding grounds as well, before the rearrangement of the AMOC forced them to relocate further south to find similar salinity+temperature ranges for hatching.
I wouldn't be surprised if Eels still technically start their spawning near Hatton-Rockall but that they simply drift south during their pregnancy/hatching in deep waters up north.

There were 2 waves of Indo-Europeans from the northern frosts, or 3 if you like and want to count "Doggerland".

The second took place from 3000 BC to 2300 BC driven by the emergence of new breeds of cattle from the steppe, first the Yamnaya migrated west to similar terrain like the Pannonian steppe and the north European plain and after a few centuries transformed into new cultures like Corded ware. There was then another migration into western Europe starting around 2500 BC, likely after they had adapted agricultural practices to the oceanic environment of western Europe, with the r1b male haplotype almost wiping out WHG and NEF.

The third wave was due to innovation, the spoked wheel around 1500 BC, which had both economic and military utility. This migration was not just to the west but the east where r1a bearing Vedic Aryan conquerors destroyed the Indus valley civilization, their religion still worshipped by the Indians to this day. They also introduced the spoked wheel and bronze working techniques to China, no doubt through some conflict. This event fascinated European historians who wondered why Iranian and Indian languages were Indo-European and popularized the term "aryan" leading to its inaccurate use, though perhaps not entirely. Few were blonde like the Nordics, but if you saw one today you'd consider them white.

To the west they formed the urnfield culture, predecessors of the Celts and Etruscans, they also warred with the nordics, remains of which can be seen at the battlefield of the Tollense valley. This culture would also migrate south and wage war against the Mycenaeans, again attested in the archaeological records due to their subsequent massive fortification efforts in 1250 BC. Another invasion in 1200 BC was successful triggering the bronze age collapse and the emergence of the "sea peoples", a group which included Mediterranean peoples and later conflated with the "Atlanteans". Their practice of cremation is mentioned in the Iliad.
