Ancient Earth transports viewers more than 250 million years into the past to explore one of the most dramatic chapters in planetary history. During the Permian period, the continents were fused into a single supercontinent known as Pangaea. Vast deserts stretched across its interior, while coastal regions teemed with amphibians, early reptiles, and evolving plant life. Shifting climates, volcanic upheaval, and atmospheric changes reshaped ecosystems on a scale rarely seen before or since.
Through cutting edge paleontology, fossil discoveries, and cinematic reconstructions, the series reveals how evolutionary experimentation flourished during this era. Apex predators stalked dry riverbeds. Early synapsids, distant relatives of mammals, began to diversify. In the oceans, reefs and primitive marine species created complex food webs that rival modern ecosystems.
Massive geologic changes allowed life to thrive on land and sea, producing saber-toothed carnivores like Gorgonopsid and the terrifying 40-foot shark Helicoprion.
