Before Dinosaurs, there Were Giants. In this documentary, we travel back 350 million years to the Carboniferous Period, when Earth’s atmosphere held up to 35% oxygen and life expanded in extreme and unexpected ways.
This documentary explores a swamp-covered world where giant insects ruled, Meganeura soaring with wingspans near 70 centimeters and Arthropleura stretching over two meters across the forest floor.
Why did oxygen-rich air allow such enormous growth, and what ultimately ended the age of these giants? This documentary uncovers how a single atmospheric shift reshaped evolution and reveals one of the most astonishing and unsettling chapters in the history of life on Earth.
