Earth is 4.5 billion years old – which is approximately the same amount of time it took us to create this video.
We’ve scaled the complete timeline of our Earth’s life into our first animated movie! Every second shows about a million years of the planet’s evolution. Hop on a musical train ride and experience how long a billion years really is. It’s the perfect background for your next party, a great way to take a break from studying, or a fascinating companion while you’re on the go … and our celebration of 10 years of kurzgesagt.

i couldnt believe when i saw the 1 hour episode.
This is gonna be epic
Thank you so much for this! The linear time scale really puts it into perspective. But I would LOVE to see this video remixed in logarithmic time scale!
41:14 ww
Just wanna say amazing video but I also love everyone’s representative birds in the end 🙂
May be it would take us as much time as the dinosaurs had to become truly a galactic race. Makes me feel a little sad that I exist in the very beginning of our history to see any galactic visible achievement
Had a little giggle when they said sex was invented.
after 4.5 billions years social media & TIKTOK bullsh*ts exist!
An Air Wick ad at the moment humans appeared wiped out our species!!
Awesome and very humbling, the reason I subscribe to channels like these…❤
“Smashed by a heavy asteroid bombardment” hear me out…
That was alot of watching rocks and water.. If you stick through the whole history. The Carboniferous was amazing after all that
Sometimes i really just want to /gamemode creative then turn back time just to see how things went
proof that the camera man never dies
Watched the whole thing! Loved it.
A Future of Earth?
Do fungi things
That was so cool! Thanks and congratz on 10th year anniversery, which I've been watching the most of that. Thank you for everything, I'm 28 Years old and it feels like your videos contributed a lot for me and how I think so thanks <3
The fuckin sick club set background music is amazing too
The music in this video is so amazing. I especially like the begining and from 58:42 onwards… magnificent 👌
Cool
This really shows how insignificant us and our problems are. All of humanity would just last a fraction of a second relatively.
Spettacolare
10:36 meteors vanishing into nothingness
Where does the rain come from in eoarchean ?
Would love a collab with bill wurtz😂😂
wow
wow
I cannot believe it…
damnn, that's some animation work
after watching this video an hour straight, my eyes hurt to the point im seeing an optical illusion where after watching the video my screen seems to move wobbly from right to left XD
Just finished watching this video back from back.
It's just insane how long of earth history there was almost nothing going on.
Only the the very end, life how we know it comes to existence.
And at the last second the entire human history flashes by.
Really makes one feel how tiny and new we are compared to our universe.
Fascinating. Beautiful. Thank you!
ماشاءالله The animation is incredible but I don't believe in evolution
This Channel Was so good during Covid use to always watch them during online school
The planet goes through multiple extinctions over and over and life keeps coming back… until a giant fireball lights the Paleogene. Very quickly, we pop up and quickly shall we go. But I am happy to see this art. All of it. And to know I may not witness the next extinction because of matches we lit and yet new forms of life may survive it and grow and claim this planet is beautiful. Thank you, all of you, for creating this beautiful art.
it's insanely great animation!
Jesus Christ is King ✝️
Nice concept… is there a short version though?
The time scale is just unbelievable and unimaginable. And people still believe in Adam and Eve 🤦🏼♂️
Everyone is mentioning the animation, but the music is f*cking awesome as well (and I'm an animator).
Actually teared up a little at the end there, really beautifully illustrated and the perfect background to writing an essay on origins of cognition! Really put my work into perspective being in the last couple of seconds! ><
The animals that appear on this video had to move to a extremely slow pace so we could watch them move at a regular speed. Such dedication is insane!
What an incredible video. Kurzgesagt showed us again that they're one of the best channels on yt! ❤
and the "uhh" at 58:14 felt so random it made me laugh XD
