The Forest That Existed Before Trees

Three hundred and eighty million years ago, something appeared on the surface of the Earth that had never existed before: a forest. Not grass, not moss, not low-growing plants. Actual trees, with roots and bark and wood, towering above a landscape that had never seen shade. But the first forests were not like anything alive today. They were stranger, and their rise and fall may have triggered one of the greatest extinctions in the history of life. Tonight we go back to the world before trees had learned to die properly. #Documentary #DocumentariesForSleep #SleepDocumentary #CalmNarration #ScienceForSleep #AncientForest #Devonian #DeepTime #AncientEarth #Geology #Paleobotany #FirstForests #EarthHistory #Extinction #RelaxingDocumentary #SleepContent #DeepSleep #NatureDocumentary #EarthScience #HiddenHistory
