About 2 Hours Of Uncovering Dinosaur Discoveries

In "A New Prehistory", the origins of birds and their evolutionary ties to dinosaurs are explored. Discoveries from China since 1996 have revealed that many dinosaurs were covered in feathers, with some even capable of flight. The show delves into how the breakup of the supercontinent Pangea created a unique climate that contributed to the survival and evolution of feathered dinosaurs. The significance of the Archaeopteryx fossil, often cited as a missing link between dinosaurs and birds, is discussed in detail. The show also covers how volcanic ash preserved ancient fossils, allowing palaeontologists to study the history of flight and feathers. The insulating properties of feathers and their role in protecting ancient creatures from the cold are examined, as well as the evolution of mammals during the time of the dinosaurs. Additionally, the decline of giant insects during the late prehistoric era is analyzed, with multiple theories about their extinction.

He embarks on a fascinating trip across Europe, Africa, and Asia visits the world's most famous collections, and discovers hidden artistic gems, all to prove that the Dark Ages were actually an 'Age of Light'. 💚 Join the Absolute History club to get access to exclusive member benefits!

CONGO: Protecting The Home of The Gorillas

Deep in the northern region of the Republic of the Congo lies a vast tropical rainforest that holds a surprising secret about modern wildlife conservation. While many believe that national parks are the only safe havens for critically endangered species, this documentary reveals why a staggering 70,000 western lowland gorillas are thriving inside a commercial logging territory. This is the story of a unique pact between humans and nature. At the same time, the film addresses the harsh realities facing the Congo Basin. Armed rangers wage a constant battle against the illegal bushmeat market and high-value elephant poaching networks, while local villages face devastating crop raids by forest elephants. From traditional Baka pygmy communities using ancient medicine trees to modern towns built on sustainable timber jobs, this footage highlights the delicate balance between economic survival and protecting the world's second-largest rainforest.
