Hello all! Hope you are enjoying the video. Head over to our Instagram at historyoftheearth_ig to ogle the beautiful art on the show. Also, quick correction - as we all know Scott went to the Antarctic, not the Arctic. Stay safe out there and thanks for watching!
I'd say almost 400 likes in 5 hours is a resounding "YES"
Plates..aka.. muscle tendon..!! Fossil fuel , everything sand, rocks you skip..is skin or tendon, everything we have is from these mountain size creatures.. we have the minerals inside us to make gold crystals .... This is the shit nobody wants to know...
Had to watch it twice.
1) No tundra in the Antarctic 2) Yes to tropical forests in its distant past.
There you go again, the myth of CO2 (16:28). CO2 does not warms the Earth. This lie must stop !
I’m very impressed by the quality of narration - clear, compelling, and just the right gaps to give you time to absorb the information.
Absolutely agree, very easy and relaxing to listen to. Poor narration can ruin an otherwise good documentary.
Rob Mallows and has the right amount of British too!
As a non native speaker the calm pace and clear pronounciation makes live easier for me but it also gives the content a more relevant undertone than e.g. a rather hectic Tim Pool or Shadiversity.
And soothing .
Yeah just like eons but about earth instead of animals and pre historic life
I still can't believe we can enjoy such high quality production and writing from this series (along with Voices of the Past) for basically nothing. If you want proof that traditional media is dying, this is one of them.
I cut the cable 6yrs ago, stopped watching pro sports and movies too, I've never been happier/entertained.
Its hspprnkng on the internet not tv
I keep feeling like we're missing something obvious.
@@Krystalmyth yes yhe methadon madd from methane
That's probably right. I litterally don't watch tv anymore.
Leila's words, David's voice, Kellys' editing = welcome edification.
This is clearly one of the best channels in UA-cam.
The level of dedication shines through.
By now, the weekly episode has kinda become a ritual for me. One I contiously look forward to
After years of learning about plate tectonics and volcanos this video explained for the first time why one plate subducts and one stays up. Hooray for heavy and light rocks. Every few sentences you tell me about fascinating stuff I didn't know and it just keeps on coming. I'm glued to your channel now.
I'm impressed, this series has PBS levels of quality and it's only made by a handful of people! Keep up the good work.
Dont be so mean, this is far better than state sponsored media!
@@scottydu81 PBS is far, far better than commercial TV. And PBS gets funding through donations and various corporate foundations that donate to PBS.
It really is marvelous and very well-done.
@@harrietharlow9929 So they don’t need State funds then?

The more, that I watch this series, the more I realize just how much of a miracle the very existence of even the most basic life is let alone Man as a species. Even more so is that a species can create presentations such as this to enlighten their fellow creatures.
It does seem that life forming might itself be a great filter. Perhaps we are that lucky.
Absolutely! All the more reason to be grateful every day, and to be kind to others who also happen to exist at exactly the same time as us. It's a blessing to live and have an intellect and consciousness at all. We exist against stupefying odds!
Indeed, i think we should honor our odds and expand into the cosmos, the day we leave the earth and settle somewhere else will be the day we immortalize the human race and it's history. Even if earth becomes once again unable to provide us shelter, we will be somewhere else.
@@alanwatts8239 That's the hope I have as well for our species. I like to be optimistic. Even tho I will not be around to see it.
Theists will thank a creator, as the saying goes 'we are truly grateful for the gift of life'. But from whom?
It's really logical to ascribe it all to a Creator, the probability of this happening by chance is very tiny, everything that makes life possible is miraculous.
This series really deserves millions of subscribers. Period.
Yea it's crazy this channel doesn't have more subs and views!
I completely agree.
I never felt so proud and privileged being alive and being born on this amazing planet.
This deserves far more views that it’s getting. I hope people come to discover & appreciate the fantastic work you guys are doing!
This channel is erupting 🌋 with greatness! Thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻
Is that pun intended
When I took my geology course in college in 1961-1962, my professor suggested that MAYBE the continents fit together somehow and that Wegener may have been right! It wasn’t until the late 1960s that the theories of continental drift and of plate techtonics were accepted. I remember this well.
I was about 10 in the mid 60s and I managed to get hold of a National Geographic that explained it . At the same time an extinct Airline ,BOAC ,had an ad for crossing the Atlantic Ocean quickly. They jokingly called it the Atlantic River . I immediately understood the concept of plate tectonics and this at at time when most adults didn’t even know about it.
I’ve been fascinated with geology ever since
Fascinating.
Jeez grandpa, college in the 60's? Whats yo old ass doing on the internet, shouldn't you be in a retirement home?
I love when youtubers post quality videos regularly.
“Wegner’s ideas were groundbreaking” I see you writer, and I’m proud of you
Extraordinary quality of production, especially the narrator.
I am glued to this channel. 💞 💞
How does anyone watch “History of the Earth” series and give it a thumbs down?
Kelly productions are top notch!
Creationists....
Flat earthers too
Anti-science anarchists.
Religious nuts.
I’m stuck in bed with COVID but your videos help ease my mind. I’ve watched all of them 8 times and they are only getting more interesting.
Have you recovered fully from COVID?
@@badgerlife9541 he is dead
@@LOUNGELIQ No he's not ;)
@@badgerlife9541 nah he ded
Get well soon.
This does not get enough views. It is amazing and educational. I have my boys sit down and watch your videos with me, keep it up, man. I love your posts.
This video and the others on this channel are extremely high quality.. Please consider creating a Patreon page, so I and others can support the channel.
Can't believe I can get gold like this for free rather than paying a monthly fee for something that's only half as good. Keep it up. I love the way you describe the Earth as if it's a living creature, your use of words to inspire and further describe the conditions of the early Earth so clearly that one could imagine standing on its surface.
Amazing series.. The theory of plate tectonics was just being fleshed out when I was in graduate school back in the 60s.
Your work is of immense value in helping to enlighten us all. Thank you very much.
Yet another superb episode! I'm already looking forward to having a binge watch of the whole series one day
Thanks Phil! Your support is much appreciated
"... a hoT plaTe beneath a poT of waTer..." *the lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue* -- Bravo! You are among the very very best articulators I've ever heard, a concert violinist of voice and speech.
Glad to find this great channel.
This channel deserves even more subscribers.
I am completely impressed. Most excellent work. Please continue with your series!
Stopped getting notifications 3 weeks ago. I'm back when I realized I hadn't seen any of your videos in a while.
Every time I watch one of your videos I decide it is one of the best you have made. This makes them all the best which is a contradiction I'm happy to accept. I didn't understand the carbon cycle until now but it suddenly all makes sense. Thanks again for a super-informational and logical presentation without all the yelling and endlessly repeated segments that other sites put forward.
Ive seen all of your films in both HOTE and HOTU.
This and the Horrors of the infinite Cosmos are my favourite. To everyone who worked on these, thank you so much for all your efforts. It is greatly appreciated 🤘
Incredible Leila. Incredible work. Congrats!
What I like most is you go by the kiss method. Keep it simple stupid. And throughly enjoyable,as you do with all your programs
The quality is outstanding!!! Thank you!!!
You brothers have been gifted with awesome narration voices. Youre in the right line of work. And not only that you make great content regardless of who read the scripts. The great voices are just the icing on the cake.
This show is so awesome and beautiful... scientific poetry
I'm really enjoying this channel. All this stuff has always fascinated me, as does history in general. Thank you for all the work you've put into this!
Always waiting for something new from this channel, very well put together THX
Its a pitty this serie was seen by a handful of viewers.. its quality is superb.. and its narrative is informative and beautifully done.. congrats to the great team that allows us to realize about so significant events of earth's journey.
This is my new favorite channel, thank you!!!
I love this series! The images are gorgeous and the narration is easy to follow.
It's incredible that German scientists are mentioned that often in almost every documentation. Makes me somehow proud being a German but then i remember that my lazy ass is sitting here and watching documentaries.
😁 lazy ass... Easy, you're not alone.
There is that other thing
This channel is my new addiction 😍
After watching a bunch if these it's kinda terrifying just how much had to go right for complex life to exist.
This is better quality than most tv shows...
Hi mate. Watched a few now. Thank you. Your content is very educational as well as been very well presented. I appreciate your efforts
Amazing content and epic narration!
Love how you use a mix of video and cool artwork to illustrate
I continue to be very impressed with the quality of your videos. Images and narration are great--very, very soothing. I really look forward to watching each new video as it's released as well as enjoying videos I've watched before.
ha ha alfred wegener. You are a crazy man..
Great episode as always. I love the chronology you guys got going. from formation of the stars to the first life. Cannot wait until you tackle topics like the Cambrian explosion and the Devonian. Will you guys go all the way to the present?
Eventually I guess!
@@HistoryoftheEarth I could use the info for my fanfic
This series is so good. I've watched a few docos on the subject and none mentioned the old expanding Earth theory of continental separation, or that an entire culture was wiped out by Tambora. Makes you wonder what else other docos are leaving out!
Yes, brilliant narration in every sense. Beautiful storytelling.
Loving the series. Thanks. The narrator has grown on me too. Some combo of him dialogue Ng down the melodrama and his style growing in me.
Glad I found the channel
i love volcanoes so much. thanks for this!!!! excellent work, as always 💛 💛💛
after watching this I found a cool geologic survey and field guide to my state online. Thanks for the idea! Fun pandemic times
Was waiting eagerly for your video
Always love the way u split the video in parts and make it easy to understand. Really love yours indeapt explanation on the topic of Plate tectonic
Looking forward for next video
Take care
Bye
These are almost as calming as asmr videos, but won't put you to sleep. Terrific narration and excellent pacing. No extremely long pauses in between speaking either ....A++
Really excited to see this new video!!! Truly enjoyed
What a brilliant documentary...
Thank you...
;-)
It's eye opening how fragile life is. All the different borderline impossible factors that went into making life possible on earth. It really does make you appreciate even the smallest of life.
What a great awesome and inspiring presentation! THIS should be the future of Television and not stupefying news channels and /sport/music/entertainment hay for the two-legged sheeple..
Your way of saying "but" is legendary
Belgian cartographers, not dutch who suggested plate tectonics. I am absolutely loving your documentaries!
Thank you for this excellent series. Your hard work shines through.
Shoutouts to all volcanoes for ending the Huronian glaciation. You guys are awesome
Quite interesting. As you mentioned "as far as we know". We really don't know. There is still so much too learn. Thanks :)
I really think a fun game to play with middle-highschool students is the teacher giving them concepts that ultimstely plate tectonics answers and having the kids act as a scientific community, trying to figure things out. The only thing is they can't answer with plate tectonics.
The quality of content on this channel is amazing. The narration keeps me glued to the screen.
Couldn't the tug of the Moon have had a role to play in at least the beginings of plate techtonics?
Maybe.
I don't think the moon's gravity has as big an effect as the forces under the mantle, but it probably does have some part to play
An excerpt from Science Daily... www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/04/160401075118.htm ... "The action of the Moon, overlooked until now, is thought to have compensated for this difference and kept the geodynamo active. Work is published on 30 march 2016 in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters." It says... "The Earth's mantle deforms elastically due to tidal effects caused by the Moon. The researchers show that this effect could continuously stimulate the motion of the liquid iron alloy making up the outer core etc etc."
Well, the moon was a lot closer to the Earth in the very distant past. And it's effect is proportional to the square of its distance from the Earth.
@@ahmanui2 Your interpretation is actually right . Before the oceans apppeared the moon actually created a tidal effect on the magma and as the oceans grew it had less effect on the magam and more on the oceans and for over a billion years the moon created oceans tidal waves hundreds of miles high that cooled more and more landmass untill the earth crust became so think that the magam could only come up by weak spots and thats how the techtonic plates created themselves and the fire belt was born .
@@waynetemplar2183 True but the techtonic plates were born because of the how clost to the earth the moon was and how High the oceans tidal wave were . for over a billion years the moon created a permanent planetary size hurricane with waves as high as 10 km which slammed on the earth crust and cooledit even more to the point that the mental couldn't crack it anymore and had to find weak spot to get to the surface therefore creating the the plate boundries now called the fire belt .
Wonderful. Also, nice voice!
Great video, I can't believe this channel doesn't have more subs and views! Just keep up the good work, I'm sure it will pay off soon.
I just wanted to mention there are new theories about the formation of planets and Earth's prehistory, and what forces have shaped our solar system and planets. I find it utterly fascinating that earthquakes are now being actually *predicted* (!) using satellites which monitor electrostatic signals coming from the Earth's crust (China owns one of these satellites), so there seems to be an electric aspect to the universe (largely) unaccounted for by geology, not to mention cosmology.
Electric Universe theory / Plasma Cosmology provides a compelling addition to our current understanding, if you keep an open mind I think most people will find it raises many, many valid questions and usually has the predictive power as an interdisciplinary scientific model to provide surprising and intuitive answers. Many mysteries of the universe and our solar system begin to click into place in a very satisfying way where some aspects of acedemic science fall short.
Symbols of an Alien Sky was my intro to this electric model, though admittedly it's more focused on comparative mythology and archeological subjects which when examined through a holistic lens actually construct a very different narrative about our planet's relatively recent ancient history. It's on the Thunderbolts Project channel for free (lots of other science vids there too). Worth a watch for those open to and interested in new ideas about our solar system and planet.
In elementary school I had to hold a presentation about Alfred Wegner. This brings back memories. :)
Great video about the best planet in the known universe.
6:32 His ideas we’re literally ground-breaking~ XD
This is really well written and presented. Excited for the next one! 👏👏
No, get a clue: it was stock footage and theatrical narration not a documentary. Why I'm I debating with a user called Resident Psyco? Yes your crazy if you like this
@@DesmondDaCyborg who hurt you
Incredible way of explaination!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like the way you say "rock".
“Entre history of the earth” in 21:21 highly recommended 👍
The chronicle continues
Most underatted channel of all time!
I enjoyed this, came across a theory unknown to me , I also learned a lot about plate tectonics.
Thanks for the lecture! Geologists are ignoring that the Moon existed in Archean eon. And she has been 15 times closer to the Earth. The tidal forces was tremedously bigger than now: They're affected not just to hydrosphere but to a fresh lithosphere, as well. Twice a day a giant walls of rock 3 miles high rolls upon the surface. It does not allowed to crust solidify and break it into proto-continental plates.
"Geologist are ignoring" who are these geologists? Because as geologist, I and no one in my field has ignored that.
This series is just spellbinding.
The theory of plate tectonics was ground breaking, ha good one.
One might say it was an earth shattering idea
Will you read my comment?
1:00 In 1812, trade from Indonesia reached the USA. The spice trade, esp. in pepper, was so profitable the first American millionaire was Elias Hasket Derby of Salem.
My friends and I did a dnd campaign set around Mount tambora in late 1811 in an alternate timeline.. we didn't actually know the name of the mountain until one of us had to ask a trader where we were. The game then turned into how can you convince an entire population to evacuate when your just a couple of foreigners who don't know crap about the culture
amazing material. thank you!
Your videos are always so well done
“AHHH CLIMATE CHANGE”
Volcanos: hold my beer
put your hand over my beer
I enjoy watching this❤
I wish I could give you an extra like every time I rewatch a video
Your voice is so soothing.... I love these videos for their info and storytelling style, but they also lull me to sleep~ 😅🥰
For someone who struggles with insomnia? That's a priceless gift~ Thank you! 🤗
Once upon a time Discovery Channel made these types of quality videos.
A wonderful and fascinating series. I wish I could figure out the correct sequence in which to watch each one.
The volcano eruption at the start of the video made a disaster in Europe. After the Napoleonic wars food was short and the eruption made it worse, many died from hunger and disease in the following years. It was the perfect storm in the 19th century for Europe and it fuelled the emigration for the USA.
Excellent explanation of plate tectonics
Accurately written and beautifully narrated 💚💚
Excellent narration articulate and pace perfect. thank you, it makes it a pleasure, easy listening. Puts to shame all the other gabbling auctioneers.
great series.
Please put something together about fractals in nature. Since I learned about fractals I can't get enough , utterly fascinating!
Have you looked into the coastline paradox? A bit mind blowing when I heard about it for the first time
