Earth: Making of a Planet
Imagine cameras have been around since the creation of Earth to record every major event.
Take a photographic journey through time from the violent birth of our planet four and a half billion years ago, through ice-ages, massive volcanic eruptions and the dinosaurs' reign to the first humans. For the first time, see the incredible story of our planet unfold in one single, seamless camera move.
The history of our planet is an epic journey. From its birth out of cosmic rubble to the unique complex of land, sea, atmosphere and life we know now. See how water was transported to Earth's surface inside millions of meteors.
Through CGI recreations, meet the inhabitants of Earth over the ages, from slimy mats of algae to the great dinosaurs and the ancestors of mammals and humans.
Is that documentary on Blu-ray If it is where can I buy it? I really want it on Blu-ray with that narrator
Camera guy is built diffrent
If you get the message that the video is "unavailable", use a VPN to watch it as Google is tracking you and not allowing it to be viewed in certain countries. (Google's Pres-CEO is basically a puppet of every gov't on earth, remember?). I just downloaded the entire video using Opera browser as Pale Moon let me know it was "unavailable".
good cameras to see 3900 million years ago...lol
Outstanding documentary.
this is some incredable stuff! outstanding document! Very nice and conplected details
Man with his finite mind cannot understand and accept the infinite God who created the Heavens and the Earth and all living things on it, so they try to conceive all type of theories of creation!
Nicely done but it seems to be based on theory and speculation. Nothing said about the incredible variety of life from fleas and millions of other insects, cardinals to all the other varieties of birds, reptiles, animals and all the varieties within the species. Who has ever answered that except the bible. I'm sticking with creation, each after their own kind. Amazes me every time I think about it.
Only the first minutes concerning the Moon formation are worth watching. As for the rest, you had best watching Walking with Monsters (BBC), for the content and even the animal species shown are the same, only much more detailed on BBC documentary; and Earth Story (BBC), way more accurate and rich in Geology research lines.
Many of the concepts presented by NatGeo are oversimplistic and they tend to treat Evolution and Plate Tectonics theories as all of a sudden process, thing as "The Earth moves again" (as if its plates have ever stopped). As a matter of fact, the name 'The Making of a Planet' is too misleading if you expect a Geology documentary - concepts and scientific data about it are very scarce if not totally inexistent. Again I suggest you see Earth Story - it is not very recent, yet one of the best documentaries ever released - very scientific and informative and has a beautiful soundtrack as well.
Brilliant stuff. It would be great if we could teach these kinds of documentaries to children in order to plant in them reality and love for science and help them gain an intellect that would combat religious indoctrination.
VERY GOOD WATCH ...

I typed in Planet earth into the search but was still unable to find the documentary I was referring to!
A while ago (2010) I saw a documentary that was maybe 3 hours long or more (I also believe it was on NAT GEO) that used many of the exact same computer graphics that this documentary used to show the evolution of life on earth from the very beginning all the way up to man... I know it was the same, because the animations for the first crustaceans was identical... This doc I am referring to also used a ticking timeline just as this doc did. I have been searching for it for months but I just can't find it. Does anyone know the name of the doc I am referring to?
And when God created this earth 6000ya he decided to make some of the rocks 3.8 billion years old...
Great doc, i agree, but i must say im a little disappoint in hearing many people putting down the religious debate. While i am by no means religious, and do not believe in God at all, i am a scientist and all science is best guess only. We can only progress in science by accepting (believe) in what we have read before, so therefore every scientist works of a belief. In addition to this, within the science world we have to accept that everything we think of as a fact could be proven wrong at anytime. For example, the higgs boson has still not been found after a 40 search, and yet allot of are scientific understanding of gravity relays on this elusive particle existing. If by the end of this year it has still not been discovered, as a community, the science world is now starting to admit it might not exist at all. If this is the case its back to the drawing boards on the subject of gravity, and quite allot of science we teach children now will have to be revised. Therefore at the moment the facts we teach people might not be fact, hence in the science community we speak of chances rather than fact. It is for this reason that any good scientist will never state that God does not exist. Yes people cant prove a God exists, but like wise we cant disprove it, and any good scientist will not condemn a theory unless proof can be presented one way or the other. It must also be pointed out that while science has explained allot, there is sill much room in the theory's of the present day to allow for the existence of God.
So for all you people putting the religious argument down for them not being able to prove the existence of God, i challenge you to prove he does not exist. Can you not see you are doing to them what you claim they do to science, use no evidence what so ever to come to a conclusion.
I would like it if the programe "The universe" came back.. PLEASE
Super documentary. Made me search Internet to find answers to many debatable questions like origin of water on Earth and origin of oxigen on Earth. Still no firm answers to these two let origine of life alone....
this was a fantastic documentary for anyone who loves our planet!
amazing documentary..really shows you that we're just a fart on this planet. loved the comments by everyone especially the ones praising the science and slamming all the BEARDS... why can't they just stop and accept the facts!
i'd love to see a part 2 showing us the projected geological movements of earth.. if they can go back 4.5 billion years they definitely can go forward!!
Well, I liked this documentary, considering they try to explain such vast expanses of time is 90 mins it was not a bad overyview. Agree with one comment below, a future doc speculating on the next 4 billion years would be fascinating. Also, why just someone always have to bring up the god thingy, no proof for god, never has been, never will be, just a load of circular reasoning to to fill the gaps in science, science progresses, religion does not so what are you god believers gonna do in say 100 or 200 hundred years from now when the gaps are smaller & fewer in number, oh well. GOD BLESS ATHEISM !
Six days ? or six periods of time that equal to 13.5 billion years, depending on how you " TRANSLATE" the word "day" in Hebrew !!!!
From what i have read, I believe it took six days too create the Earth
and the Heavens.Not Millions of years.
There is a big gap between a universe of chemicals, to single cell organisms. One cell alone is about a million times as advanced as the best supercomputers we have today. It just cant come to be from chemicals floating around. Im not religious, but for me its clear that there is something completely outside our capacity of thinking, that makes the real explanations.
Wait! there must be an error here. the earth is only 6015 yrs old!! I believe it because the bible tells me so.We are descendants of Adam and Eve and she was created from Adams rib! The origin of life and the "chosen people" was in Babylonia.
Jus' kiddin' folks!
so looking forward too the better version made by the bad comments belowe I liked it but thanks and waiting for for below version ??
