Humanity's Greatest Journey

·Oct 18, 2024

It's time. Let’s reveal the 12,025 Human Era Calendar.

Let's travel back 200,000 years to humanity’s greatest journey that took our ancestors from East Africa all across the planet. With nothing on their feet and only primitive tools, they set out to cross valleys, climb snowy mountains, and fight fierce predators to find their new home in an alien land.

Join us in 12,025 and discover a new world every month while keeping track of your own adventures. Let this calendar be a celebration of the achievements of these early humans. They managed to survive in harsh climates, navigating a world where they were both hunter and prey, all while continuously advancing our species and making it possible for you to watch this video right now.

Each year we release a new edition of this very special passion project because we believe that stories are important and shape who we are as a species. That’s why we chose a new year zero for our calendar. It represents the beginning of the human era 12,000 years ago, a time when we first started working together on a larger scale, laying the foundation for what it means to be human today.

The calendar also has a special significance for us here at Kurzgesagt. We started out as a small studio with a dream to inspire people all around the world. But as we soon found out, creating elaborate videos for free is a really bad business model – and it was not sustainable.

Then, in 2016, everything changed when we created the first Human Era Calendar. It was a huge success and sold out within a few hours. It kick-started the Kurzgesagt shop and the creation of more high-quality science products. It also enabled us to grow our team, improve our video quality and research standards, and still release our videos for free for everyone.

So get this special ode to humanity and become a part of the Kurzgesagt story. Add a poster or a plushie for an even bigger impact. We've also prepared a few amazing deals for you.

Simply click on the tagged products below or follow the link in the description. Thank you so, so much for coming together every year to make all of this possible! See you in 12,025!
