Something Woke Up 252 Million Years Ago and Erased 96% of All Life on Earth
252 million years ago, something woke up beneath Siberia. It didn't stop for two million years. And it almost ended everything. We call it the Great Dying — the largest mass extinction in Earth's history. Not the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. Something worse. Something patient. 96% of all marine species. 70% of all land vertebrates. The only extinction event that broke the insects. A trilobite lineage 270 million years old, eliminated. The deep ocean suffocated. The sky turned to acid. And then the ocean floor began exhaling hydrogen sulfide — and the air itself became a weapon. This is what actually happened. And why we almost weren't here to know about it. #Prehistoria #GreatDying #Extinction #Permian #Paleontology
