About Cambridge University
The University of Cambridge is a collegiate public research university in Cambridge, England. Founded in 1209, the University of Cambridge is the world's third-oldest university in continuous operation. The university's founding followed the arrival of scholars who left the University of Oxford for Cambridge after a dispute with local townspeople. The two ancient English universities, although sometimes described as rivals, share many common features and are often jointly referred to as Oxbridge.

Then at about 500 AD, there was a massive flood which completely destroyed their civilization, swept across the plane, destroyed all their homes. Within 200 years, they'd been conquered and died out. The way we know this is so cool. A team from Cambridge University went there and they measured the amount of pollen in the soil at different depths.
