Ah yes, the Carboniferous. My absolute favorite geologic period. Why? We’ve got: -Cat-sized scorpions -Person-sized millipedes -Hawk-sized dragonflies -Seal-sized “sea cockroaches” -Weird strange huge amphibians that probably aren’t safe to touch -“Sharks” that can’t decide whether teeth should be in their mouths or on their dorsal fins -Oh, and everything looks like Florida on roids. What’s not to love?
@@ChicagoScorpionLook up the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess Skulltula and look at how it big it looks when it’s close to Link to get an idea of how it’s size would compare to an average sized man and it looks fairly realistic as well, I could honestly imagine a spider that big living in the Carboniferous, it’s not gigantic in an exaggerated sense but it’s not small either and it’s somewhat close to Arthropleura in size, making it seem like a realistic possibility that something similar to a spider like that could’ve actually existed, I’d estimate that the spider probably looks close to 5 feet tall and maybe 7-8 feet in length, imagine encountering that and if they turned out to be venomous as well…and possibly just getting bitten by the likely huge fangs it would’ve possessed even without taking venom into consideration would potentially be enough to kill a person because of how deeply they would penetrate into flesh.
@@ChicagoScorpionIdk I kinda love the idea of the biggest spider being the golialth alive today makes spiders more cooler as they could be still growing

Stuff like this is exactly why I heavily prefer Jackson's kong over the later 2017 reboot. The attention to detail he took to craft a realistic primitive world really is commendable.
Fun fact: if you were to travel back in time to the Carboniferous period and encounter Pulmonoscorpius and it stings you, its venom would have little effect on you since there were no mammals at that time for its venom to evolve on to kill. There also wouldn't be any mosquitoes at that time, either despite it being a massive swampland since they haven't evolved yet. Also, wildfire would be more intense than today due to the abundance of oxygen.
@@stillnoname840I’m not sure this is true, around 35% oxygen isn’t high enough to cause toxicity. It’s getting close, but not quite there. Oxygen levels on earth peaked at around that percentage. It could be a challenge to acclimate, but it wouldn’t kill you.

Thank god they could never get that big in reality. There's just too many physical constraints working against their evolution like oxygen availability, surface:volume limits, Earth's gravity and necessity to grow that big.
This is still probably one of the scariest scenes in anything ive ever seen. The regular insects were fine. The worms swallowing that guy, tearing him apart and dragging him into their burrows is still beyond horrifying.

I am well past 70, and I think the 2005 "King Kong" was a terrific film, my favorite of the 3 versions. As for the Carboniferous, it doesn't appear in too many videos, and isn't publicized as much as the Jurassic and Cretaceous, and the video was informative.
I love how you lived a large part of your life without the internet and now you get to experience these videos and learn about topics that interest you in your retirement.
This 'King Kong' film is the absolute best to date, and I knew this back when it first debuted in 'o5. I was only a high schooler, but I knew that this film was epic in the sense of its C.G.I., special effects, plot line, delivery & execution, and casting. There aren't too many things that I like Jack Black in', but he totally destroyed' his role (in this in the best way possible-colloquially, this is a good thing). But the woman who played Anna is so much the shining star in this film. Focusing-in on the C.G.I. & special effects of the film, it's unmistakable the amount of effort that was put into making the concepts and schemes of this movie come to life. Not only is Kong just stunning and realistic in every frame, but even the side characters, or creatures, that have such little roles in the film seem to have taken so much artistic ability and meticulous crafting. This bug scene reaffirmed my phobia of worms and worm-like creatures.
@@DRTYFN, I disagree; but if it was anything almost after that, then I'd be inclined to feel the opposite way. He tended to this role well and produced a well-needed performance for an equally dramatic film (admittedly, save for his film-ending *"'Twas beauty killed the beast", cameo).
Just imagine if Megarachne was still a giant Spider, the Carboniferous would be even more terrifying, then again there almost certainly giant Spiders around during that time.
Spiders are a lot trickier to find since their exoskeleton is not as sturdy as scorpions or millipedes to leave fossils behind. The best bet is to find them preserved in amber. But scientists speculate that there were cat sized robust tarantulas during this period too.
I think people are simplifying the entire Arachnid clade into the term "spider". I think its fairly likely that there were some large Arachnids (Excluding "Scorpionoids"), they just wouldn't have been spiders in the traditional sense. Haha. (There were definitely large Chelicerates though, if we want to bastardize the term "Spider" even more, Sea Scorpions being the best example. Which ironically enough is what Megarachne was. Lmao.) @@promaster4758
Obviously we can only base this on the discoveries so far but the largest spider known to have ever existed is not some Carboniferous giant It is the goliath bird eating spider found in the Amazon today
This scene was in homage to a scene from the original 1933 theatrical King Kong, that was men being torn apart by giant spiders, but the scene was later removed for being too gory for audiences. Nice that Jackson clearly has a passion for this film.
Prob the most disturbing scene almost out of all movies ive seen and still to this day this scene creeps into my mind and yeah forget it and greatly appreciated. lol.
I was in grade 4... I came home feeling sick. Only my brother was there that day. I went to the couch and turned on the TV and tried to find something to watch. King Kong was on. When it got to this scene, it literally made me throw up. I was already feeling sick... but this specific scene sent me right over the edge. Still gives me the shivers thinking about it. Also... movies today dont seem to have as good CGI. I bet if the movie was made today, it wouldnt even make me throw up.
Arthropleura may look terrifying & is often portrayed in Palaeomedia as a monster Millipede or Centipede, in actuality it would’ve been a docile animal, since it had no natural predators.
@@justinterry2926 It just probably had predators only when it small, after growing to a certain size it was literally the largest terrestrial animal on the planet
Some giant amphibians that were the size of crocodile at that time could still pose a threat even to adult arthropleura if it wandered into their territory.
@@notoriousbigmoai1125 you mean the ones who spend all their life in the water or close to it while Arthropleura lived in more open areas and not in swamps like it's always depicted? Alright 😂
@Fede_99 Did you even watch the video? Some amphibians actually have strong limbs and can move pretty well on land. Also, if flooding was to occur (which happened quite often at that time), Arthropleura would find itself crossing path into these giant amphibians or fish.
In the XBOX 360/PlayStation 2/Nintendo GameCube game of Peter Jackson's King Kong movie, the giant centipedes scare me more than the dinosaurs do, know why? Because sometimes they hide in holes in stone walls, and you have to stand a good distance away and look really carefully to see their heads and shoot them or throw a spear at their heads, otherwise when you walk by a hole with a giant centipede waiting to jump out at you, you will get the WORST JUMPSCARE OF YOUR LIFE. 5:44 There are scorpions big as adult cats in the game, but they are not as dangerous as the giant centipedes, one spear or sharp bone fragment can easily kill them, but still don't underestimate them.
I remember seeing that scene as a little boy in theatres, stuck with me ever since. Wasn't expecting this to be a video about the Carboniferous era, but I'm pleasantly surprised.
This video is a MASTERCLASS in title + thumbnail. The video barely has anything to do with King Kong, but the title and thumb compel you to click, and watch at least a minute.
Not only is the movie one of the best. The video game on PS2 was incredible as well. Both nightmare fuel for me as a kid but playing and watching the movie later on. Made me realize how good both media’s are.
I love these “worst places in prehistory to time travel videos!” Please keep them coming. P.S. You might also consider a video on safest prehistoric places to time travel as well!
Lmfao 😂😂 the title has me laughing because of how much my mom has got traumatized by that scene. Im sending this to her right away 😂😂😂 she gonna be mad
Subscribed. I've always thought about that scene as epic and I'm glad I got such an interesting depth explanation about my thoughts on the carboniferous period with those raised oxygen levels in a concise and directed format.
I watched this movie when I was little, I always watch once in a while. You feel the love of Peter Jackson in every scene, you can see how much he loved the original
An interesting thing i learned from my bio professor. Scorpions who have smaller chela (pincers) are most likely have a more painful venom in order to subdue their prey while those woth bigger and giant chela (pincers) dont have much as a potent venom in their stingers as you mentioned. They can tear their prey apart with their strong chela (pincers)
I have a parasite phobia. When I was a kid I made the mistake of watching this movie with my dad. When the giant leeches came on screen I started screaming and crying and forced him to turn the movie off. From a scientific standpoint it is very cool. But even as an adult I still can't handle that scene. I can handle blood and gore. I've watched some pretty intensely gory movies and even enjoyed some of them. But parasites f*ck me up, and giant ones are my literal worst nightmare.
i thought the reason most coal was produced was cos there was a period where nothing could break down trees and so there was just huge amounts of unrotten plant matter building up which caused a huge problem for life, then suddenly evolved a fungi or bacteria that could finally break down trees/woody material... or am i getting mixed up with another period of pre history? ive read lots of stuff but i have a bad memory

this video is basically what I hoped Spore was going to be. Thanks for reminding me of that disappointment.
If you don't like that head-eating scene, google leeches eating frogs... :D
Nope! Never gonna do that!
Edit: Couldn't resist. It exists no words to describe such atrocity, we are in hell😱😱😱
@@renacleerican7824now I'm curious but idk
@@ZioZs_Builds please don't!
@@renacleerican7824 honestly,nowhere near as disturbing as the king kong scene
Great Channel. I find this time in pre history fascinating. The insect scene from the film is probably the highlight of that movie.
Love the insect world 🤣🤣
4:05 nice dance
Lmaooo
I love these “worst places in prehistory to time travel videos!” Please keep them coming. P.S. You might also consider a video on safest prehistoric places to time travel as well!
Hello
One of the most underrated movies of all time
king kong video game based off this was badass
Lmfao 😂😂 the title has me laughing because of how much my mom has got traumatized by that scene. Im sending this to her right away 😂😂😂 she gonna be mad
13:20
Imagine enjoying a fishing trip on a river, then this absolute unit takes the bait
Subscribed. I've always thought about that scene as epic and I'm glad I got such an interesting depth explanation about my thoughts on the carboniferous period with those raised oxygen levels in a concise and directed format.
I watched this movie when I was little, I always watch once in a while. You feel the love of Peter Jackson in every scene, you can see how much he loved the original
This is one of the best movies that just was lost to time from a general title, I hope future generations don't pass it up.
An interesting thing i learned from my bio professor. Scorpions who have smaller chela (pincers) are most likely have a more painful venom in order to subdue their prey while those woth bigger and giant chela (pincers) dont have much as a potent venom in their stingers as you mentioned. They can tear their prey apart with their strong chela (pincers)
I'm a ark player so I say that this video is awesome and "heart warming"😅
This scene has to be where my entomophobia derived from
For a bit, I thought the title of the video said “King Kong incest scene” and I literally went “WHAT!?!” Lmao
The leeches ATE
Amazing scene.
The rescue party with the ropes and tommy guns is epic
Turns out that Starship Troopers is more of a "Past Earth meets Future Earth" thing.
I love watching these videos and then recognising clips from Prehistoric Park
Imagine if there was giant mosquito.
Creepy swimmies is the best phrase 😂❤
My nightmare fuel is that crack they fell in in that movie
Stop everything...i see my favorite scene, i click..
I have a parasite phobia. When I was a kid I made the mistake of watching this movie with my dad. When the giant leeches came on screen I started screaming and crying and forced him to turn the movie off. From a scientific standpoint it is very cool. But even as an adult I still can't handle that scene. I can handle blood and gore. I've watched some pretty intensely gory movies and even enjoyed some of them. But parasites f*ck me up, and giant ones are my literal worst nightmare.
I didn't know the carfoniferous landscape could look so unique! It is so interesting!
i thought the reason most coal was produced was cos there was a period where nothing could break down trees and so there was just huge amounts of unrotten plant matter building up which caused a huge problem for life, then suddenly evolved a fungi or bacteria that could finally break down trees/woody material... or am i getting mixed up with another period of pre history? ive read lots of stuff but i have a bad memory
This is one of the best channels so interesting and cool seriously I love history and this channel is on 🔥🔥
This scene traumatized me as a kid lol
i think in the movie The Mist the military opened up a portal to the Carboniferous era.
7:08 wow, that beef had to be serious if they were ready to square up on top of a crocodile
This video turned into something way better than I'd expected when I first clicked.
I love the carboniferous.... my beloved little guys. I praise their names when I use fossil fuels (/mostly joking)
Bro puts the “derp” in Coloraderpaton 😂
These shits gave me nightmares for days when i was a kid
Love how people doing animated renders of prehistoric wildlife always make hunting and fights look like straight up Pokemon battles
The worm pit in the Jack Black King Kong Movie awoke something in me...
Bruh that scene alone probably woke up lots of dirty minds it's to the point where even if your mind is clean you still probably imagined what it was
Yeah, it awakened my sense of democracy *HD2 theme intensifies*
What happened to shame?
@@yourdad5799 you're the schmervert, thinking weird stuff! I never said what it was that awoken in me! You're just assuming!
@@autobotCRSHR you can't turn this on me bro
I saw this thumbnail yesterday but didn’t watch and it gave me nightmares anyway so now that I’ve watched this there’s no telling what awaits me as I sleep tonight.
Bro went back in time to confirm
Excellent video- thank you for that summary with excellent visuals
9:52 did those ones evolve into mosquitos?
This channel makes me wanna play Ark😂
So many convergent evolutions.
This is so fascinating and amazing, the Carboniferous sounds straight out of a sci fi movie! That being said… watching this video made me itchy 😂
I would've loved this time period
(Im afraid of bugs and insects.)
earliest ive made it to a new post lol heck ya
9:22 That looked like what!?
haha Pest control event had me XD
12:37 fish with the surprised expression. idk y that tickled me so.
"Oh dear, i seem to be getting mauled to death."
Fascinating, good intel
