What Was Earth Like in the Age of Dinosaurs? | Documentary for Sleep

Travel through the changing Earth of the Mesozoic Era in this calm documentary for sleep from About Earth & Time. From the recovery after the end-Permian extinction to the forests, seas and skies of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous, this journey follows a planet far more varied than a single dinosaur landscape. Discover Pangaea, the opening Atlantic, giant sauropods, pterosaurs, feathered dinosaurs, marine reptiles, early mammals and the spread of flowering plants. We also explore the evidence preserved in leaves, shells, footprints and rocks, the Chicxulub impact, and the lineages that continued into the modern world—including birds, the living dinosaurs around us today. Designed for quiet listening, gentle curiosity and a slower journey through deep time. Prehistoric scenes are illustrative reconstructions. Exact colours, calls and many behaviours of extinct animals remain uncertain. Scientific evidence and reconstruction are distinguished throughout the story. Scientific references include the International Commission on Stratigraphy, the Natural History Museum, Smithsonian resources and published research on sauropod biology, polar dinosaurs, Archaeopteryx and the Chicxulub impact. Selected references are listed below. #DocumentaryForSleep #Mesozoic #earthhistory
