Every Ancient Civilization Feared the Same Thing (Science Finally Explains Why)

Right now, somewhere in the world, a child is afraid of the dark. And ten thousand years ago — so was every ancient human on Earth. The Ancient Egyptians feared it.

Civilizations that never met, never traded, never even knew each other existed — and yet they all told the exact same story. They all feared the exact same thing. In this video, we explore why.
