The Birth of the Earth. The History of Our Planet

We know the myths about the creation of the world, but what actually happened is more mysterious and incredible than any of them. The birth of the Earth is the most amazing of all stories. It encompasses the first ocean and the emergence of life from nothing, great volcanic eruptions and the silence of glacial epochs, the disappearance of some beings and the emergence of others. A long journey lasting billions of years — from a fiery ball to the blue planet we call home.
