Discover how ice ages and mega floods shaped Europe’s landscapes, wildlife, and early human life - from the formation of the English Channel to the rise of ancient cultures.
Travel back hundreds of thousands of years to see a Europe almost unrecognizable today. This documentary reveals how glaciers, catastrophic floods, and shifting climates sculpted the continent’s geography, creating landmarks like the white cliffs of Dover and the rolling hills of Schleswig-Holstein. Learn how these dramatic changes impacted ancient animals such as the straight-tusked elephant, reindeer, and the mysterious European bison, as well as the survival strategies of Ice Age humans. Explore the science behind the great meltwater lake, the mega-flood that carved the English Channel, and the devastating tsunami that submerged Doggerland.
Follow the journey of early Europeans: from reindeer hunters tracking herds across tundra to the innovative use of flint tools traded over vast distances. Uncover the secrets of Stone Age societies, their art, and their relationship with iconic animals like snowy owls and bison. Finally, witness the transformation as forests return, farming takes hold, and Europe transitions from the wild Ice Age into the dawn of civilization.
